New Margin Requirements

The new Leverage limits for retail clients are now less that one week away and will come into effect on Saturday 28th July.  The new leverage limits will apply to open positions as well as new positions, so please ensure you have sufficient funds on your account to meet the new margin requirements for open positions before Saturday 28th July. If you do not have sufficient funds to cover the new margin requirements, you will be automatically closed out when the market opens.How much margin will I need? Your margin requirement will depend on what market you are trading and the size of your trade. Eg EURUSD will have 1:30 leverage so the margin requirement for 0.10 lot will be: 0.10 lot * 100,000 = €10,000 €10,000 / 30         = €334 Margin RequiredWhat are the new leverage limits?
