The France election will be held at 7 May 2017,
and after Swiss Franc crash, Brexit and Trump election, we cannot let to afford our clients to face excessive risk caused by market volatility spikes.
As a STP broker and in order to protect our clients fund, we will temporarily increase the margin requirement for EURO pairs during France election.
Temporary margin requirement increase
Affected Pairs : | EURAUD | EURCAD | EURCHF | EURJPY | EURNZD |
Premium & Sharia | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
Basic | $400 | $400 | $400 | $400 | $400 |
Please note that new margin requirements will affect both EXISTING and NEW positions. Make sure you have enough available margin / equity for your transaction(s). Additional margin increases may be implemented should volatility continue to grow.
We would also like to stress that Stop Loss orders are not guaranteed to be filled at your order level: Stop orders are converted to Market orders once triggered, and dislocations in available liquidity could result in significant slippage on Stop orders.
