- Each asset group has its own leverage ratio levels.
- The higher the volume of open positions in the group, the lower the available leverage.
- The leverage rates from the weekend table apply on weekends (Friday 10:00 p.m. to Sunday 11:55 p.m.).
From February, 24 we’re introducing a floating leverage system and updated margin requirements for different asset groups on the MetaTrader 5 platform. With this new system, leverage will gradually decrease depending on the volume of open positions within a specific asset group.
Default Leverage Before Rate Adjustments:
Weekday leverage calculation (Sunday 11:55 p.m.–Friday 10:00 p.m.) is determined by the following formula:

- On weekends and during major news releases, margin requirements may temporarily switch to weekend levels. However, these adjustments will apply only to specific news events and only after a prior notification is sent to the trading terminal. Traders will receive this notification at least 3 hours before the news release.
- These adjustments apply to all ticker symbols and account types, except for Prop Trading accounts.
- As the total nominal value of open positions within a ticker symbol group increases, leverage for new positions exceeding the set thresholds will decrease. That said, the margin requirements for existing open positions will remain unchanged. The new leverage ratios apply only to the portion of capital exceeding the threshold, while previous ratios remain in effect for smaller capital.
- This system helps minimize risks and enhances the stability of your trading.
- During weekends and key news events, margin requirements increase to provide added protection against volatility.
Please keep these changes in mind when planning your trades.
