Trading Pro implements temporary leverage restrictions on certain instruments to protect traders and maintain platform stability during periods of high volatility, such as market openings, closings, and high-impact news events.

For Forex instruments, the daily leverage restrictions are as follows:

  • Monday 23:00 – Tuesday 01:00: Leverage 200

  • Tuesday 23:00 – Wednesday 01:00: Leverage 200

  • Wednesday 23:00 – Thursday 01:00: Leverage 200

  • Thursday 23:00 – Friday 01:00: Leverage 200

  • Friday 23:00 – Monday 01:00: Leverage 100

For Metal instruments, the daily leverage restrictions are:

  • Monday 23:00 – Tuesday 02:00: Leverage 200

  • Tuesday 23:00 – Wednesday 02:00: Leverage 200

  • Wednesday 23:00 – Thursday 02:00: Leverage 200

  • Thursday 23:00 – Friday 02:00: Leverage 200

  • Friday 23:00 – Monday 02:00: Leverage 100

High-impact news events:

  • Leverage restricted to 1:100 for both currency pairs and gold.

  • Only affects new positions for specific instruments; existing trades remain unaffected, and the impacted instruments depend on the specific news event (for example, USD pairs during major US economic news).

These measures help mitigate risks from price gaps, low liquidity, and sudden market swings, ensuring a safer and more stable trading environment.

These leverage restrictions align with regulatory expectations and are designed to promote responsible trading and a more resilient trading environment.
