What is Equity-based Dynamic leverage?
Equity-based dynamic leverage or dynamic leverage based on equity is a dynamic leverage model that automatically adapts to the equity of your trading account. As the equity of the trading account increases the leverage decreases accordingly.

Higher Margin Requirements (HMR) Periods
We apply risk management measures to protect positions from possible high volatility during key events and specific time periods which impact the general volatility of the market.
Higher amounts of margin are required to open an order during these periods which are known as HMR (higher margin requirements) periods.
The HMR periods include:
• 15 minutes before major economic news releases until 5 minutes after the announcement.
• 1 hour before the market closes on Friday.
• 1 hour after each instrument begins trading on Monday, based on its respective market opening time.
• Before early market closures during market holidays, where applicable.
• 15 minutes before the daily trading break until 5 minutes after trading resumes, applicable to energies, gold (XAU) and silver (XAG) only.
Please note that these requirements apply only to positions opened during HMR periods. The margin requirements of positions opened before the start of an HMR period will not be affected.
Immediately after each HMR period ends, the margin for positions opened during that period is automatically recalculated using the standard equity-based leverage tiers. Any additional margin required during the HMR period is released.
Closing an existing hedged position during an HMR period may fail if there is insufficient free margin to meet the applicable margin requirement, particularly for the remaining leg of the hedge after one side has been closed.
