See when temporary leverage limits may apply around high-impact news, market close and market reopening.
During a temporary restriction, leverage for new positions is capped at 100:1, or 30:1 for crypto. Lower leverage means more margin may be required to open a position.
| Event | Restricted window | Maximum leverage |
|---|---|---|
| High-impact news | From 15 minutes before until 15 minutes after the event | 100:1, or 30:1 for crypto |
| Market close and reopen | From 30 minutes before market close until 1 minute after the market reopens | 100:1, or 30:1 for crypto |
