Summary:
Due to geopolitical risks, margin for new positions will be 1:100 from 21:00-23:59 (MT time, UTC+2) on February 27, 2026. Only new positions are affected.
In light of the recent escalation in geopolitical risks and in order to effectively manage market exposure, we will implement a temporary adjustment to margin requirements for newly opened positions during the final three hours before today's market close. The details are as follows:
Temporary Adjustment Period
February 27, 2026, from 21:00 to 23:59 (MT time, UTC+2)
During this period, margin requirements for newly opened positions will be calculated at a maximum leverage of 1:100.
This adjustment applies only to new positions opened during the above time window;
Positions opened outside this period will not be affected;
If pending orders are triggered during this period, the resulting new positions will be subject to the leverage rules in effect at that time (where applicable, in accordance with our relevant policies);
This rule applies to all symbols using a floating leverage calculation mode, including:
Forex (Forex Major, Forex Cross, Forex Minor)
Metals (XAUUSD, XAGUSD)
If you hold both long and short positions in the same instrument and place new trades during the temporary adjustment period, the adjusted margin requirement may increase your total margin usage and, consequently, increase the risk of stop-out.
Please carefully evaluate your free margin and position size in advance, and plan your trading activities prudently.
