TradingPRO may adjust or restrict the leverage of a trading account or specific instruments to manage risk during periods of high volatility, market rollover, weekends, and high-impact news events.
Account Equity-Based Leverage
The Company reserves the right to change the leverage of a trading account if the open positions on the account do not comply with the applicable leverage requirements.
The admissible leverage is determined based on the account's equity as follows:
| Account Equity | Maximum Admissible Leverage |
|---|---|
| $500 or below | 1:2000 |
| $501 – $5,000 | 1:1000 |
| $5,001 – $10,000 | 1:500 |
| $10,001 – $50,000 | 1:300 |
| $50,001 – $100,000 | 1:200 |
| $100,001 – $2,000,000 | 1:100 |
The applicable leverage may be adjusted when the account's equity changes or when open positions do not comply with the applicable leverage requirements.
