Dynamic Leverage Details
Dynamic leverage at GTCFX automatically adjusts based on your trading positions. This model is applied per instrument, meaning your leverage decreases as your trading volume increases. This approach enables you to optimize your trading potential.
What Is Leverage Really?
Three short concepts. No jargon. Once you grasp these, you understand the foundation of every leveraged trade you'll ever place.
Leverage, defined
A multiplier that lets you control a position larger than the cash in your account, using your broker's borrowed capital as the rest.
With $1,000 at 1:100 leverage, you control a $100,000 position.
Margin, explained
The portion of your own funds locked as collateral to open and maintain a position. Higher leverage means a smaller margin requirement.
At 1 : 100, a $100,000 trade requires only 1% margin — just $1,000.
The double-edged sword
Leverage scales gains and losses equally. A 1% adverse move on a 1:100 position can erase your entire margin. Trade with care.
Risk warning: leveraged trading may result in losses. Use stop-loss orders.

Important Notes
- Margin calculations remain fixed after the period ends
- Existing positions are not affected
- Applies to all instruments and account types
Daily Night Rollover Period
During this short time window, leverage is automatically reduced.
Lower leverage means more margin is required to hold the same trade size.
HMR:
- does not modify trade entry price
- does not widen spreads by itself
- does not manually close trades
- does not affect positions opened before the HMR period
However, because margin requirements temporarily increase, your margin level (%) may fall.
If your margin level reaches the stop-out level, the platform will automatically close positions according to normal platform risk rules.
After the HMR period ends, margin requirements automatically return to normal.
High Margin Requirement (HMR) Notice
During specific market risk periods (daily rollover and major economic announcements), the platform temporarily increases the margin required to open new trades.
FAQ's On Tiered Margin/Leverage
Tiered leverage adjusts the CFD leverage ratio based on position size. For example, smaller positions may qualify for leverage up to 1:2000, while larger positions may move to lower leverage tiers and require additional margin.
