Euro Pacific Securities is preparing the MetaTrader 4 platform for elevated volatility before and after the 2020 United States presidential election in November. As a result, MT4 margin requirements on all instruments will increase by 20% from normal rates, starting Sunday, October 11, 2020.
New Margin Requirements
Starting October 11, 2020, the following new margin rates will be applied, based on your account type. If you currently have large and/or highly-leveraged positions, we recommend managing your risk and preparing sufficient collateral to anticipate such changes.
We will notify you once margin requirements are back to normal. The normalization of margin requirements will be market-driven. If you are unsure what your account type is, please email [email protected].
