Does leverage change during news events?

Yes, during major news events, leverage is temporarily set to 1:200 for affected instruments. This applies only to new positions opened 5 minutes before and after the news release. 

Existing trades are not affected, and the impacted instruments depend on the specific news event (for example, USD pairs during major US economic news).

These adjustments help reduce risks from sudden price swings and low liquidity.

*For any updates or changes to leverage settings, clients will be notified accordingly via the Client Portal and in-app notifications.
