Margin and Leverage

Key Notes

The maximum standard leverage available for the account without coefficient application is 1:100.
Margin coefficient levels for weekdays apply from 11:55 p.m. Sunday to 10:00 p.m. Friday.
Margin coefficient levels for weekends apply from 10:00 p.m. Friday to 11:55 p.m. Sunday.
Higher coefficients may apply before major news is released. If such changes are scheduled, a notification will be sent to the trading terminal no later than 3 hours before the news release.
Margin coefficients are applied to all account types,except Prop Trading accounts.
Margin coefficients are applied to all FX symbols, , regardless of whether this is a standard symbol (for instance, EURUSD) or a symbol from Mini or Zero account types (for instance, EURUSDm or EURUSDz).
The higher the total value of open positions within a group of assets, , the higher the leverage-reducing coefficient is applied to the next nominal value of the positions.

Example of Dynamic Leverage Calculation

Tiered Margins
Margin Calculation System with Floating Leverage in MetaTrader 5
On the MetaTrader 5 platform, margin requirements for each trading symbol can change depending on the total value of open positions within a symbol group. This is implemented through a tiered floating leverage system, where margin requirements are adjusted by multiplying them by a specific coefficient.

Key Principles:
Each symbol group has its own leverage coefficient tiers for weekdays and weekends.
The higher the total value of open positions within the group, the lower the available leverage.
During weekends (from 10:00 p.m. on Friday to 11:55 p.m. on Sunday), increased coefficients apply as specified for each group of symbols.
Floating leverage applies to all account types except Prop Trading accounts.
