Margin requirements for selected instruments will change from fixed to dynamic. Once the change takes effect, these instruments will follow the leverage set on your trading account, including Unlimited leverage where available.
The change applies to:
- All account types and supported platforms where these instruments are available.
- New and existing positions.
If you already hold open positions of affected instruments before this change, your required margin held and your free margin might be impacted.
For example, if you trade 1 lot of BTCUSD, your required margin held is $206.31 USD at the fixed leverage of 1:400. After the update, the margin will be recalculated based on your account leverage:
Increase if your account leverage is lower than 1:400 (e.g., at account leverage 1:200, the margin held is now $412.62 USD). Your free margin will decrease accordingly.
Decrease if your account leverage is higher than 1:400 (e.g., at account leverage 1:1000, the margin held is now $82.52 USD). Your free margin will increase accordingly.
Where applicable, Higher Margin Requirements (HMR) may still apply and take priority over your account leverage.
For Exness JO, affected instruments will follow dynamic leverage up to 1:100.
For Exness KE, affected instruments will follow dynamic leverage up to 1:400.
In case your account is configured to have lower leverage than any of the instruments below have before the change, once instruments move to dynamic margin, your account leverage configuration will activate and may result in a leverage reduction in some cases. Check your account leverage and available margin before the change takes effect.
