A prominent retail foreign exchange and contracts for difference (CFD) broker based in Australia has announced a significant enhancement to its trading platform, specifically aimed at US stock trading. Starting on June 20, 2025, the broker will implement a dynamic leverage system designed to bolster risk management and promote greater trading stability for its users.
This innovative dynamic leverage mechanism will adjust the leverage offered according to specific time frames during the US trading session. The schedule will operate as follows:
– At 16:50 (server time), leverage will be set at 1:20.
– One hour before the session closes at 21:55, the leverage will decrease to 1:10.
– Fifteen minutes before the session ends at 22:40, the leverage will further drop to 1:5.
These adjustments will automatically apply to all open positions and any new trades conducted during the operational hours, which span from 16:35 to 22:55 (server time).
The intended purpose behind implementing this dynamic leverage is to enhance user experience through improved risk management practices. By adjusting leverage dynamically, traders will have clearer guidelines on the risks involved in trading within these time blocks, helping them make more informed decisions.
This change is part of a broader strategy to enhance trading conditions and align them with ongoing developments in the financial industry. The adjustment reflects an increasing focus on providing traders with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of the market more effectively.
Traders utilizing the platform can expect a more structured and stable environment, allowing them to adapt their strategies according to changing market conditions throughout the trading day.
