Margin and Leverage

Key Notes

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.
