Admiral Markets Offers New Margining Model, with Leverage on Major CFDs Increased

Starting from 9 January 2017, Admiral Markets will be providing new margining terms on Admiral.Markets and Admiral.Prime accounts, under which the provided leverage will no longer depend on account's balance and will be determined only by position's notional value in account's currency.

Additionally, positions opened within an hour before the trading session close on Fridays will be provided with the leverage of 1:50.

The benefits of the new terms:
- More confidence in trading as the margin value for your current positions will no longer increase all of a sudden once your balance reaches another tier. Under new terms, you will be in full control of your leverage rate as you control the size of your position.
- More effective utilisation of your funds for trading without decreases of potential exposure once you're bound to a lower leverage rate due to an increase of your balance. Under new terms, your potential exposure will always be growing along with your funds and vice versa.
- More freedom in trading due to fully independent margining of different instrument types, which provides greater flexibility in terms of combining different trading strategies on the same account.
- Enhanced protection against negative balances due to a leverage rate of 1:50 which will be applied to positions opened during the pre-close hours on Fridays, with the intention to minimise the potential impact of weekend price gaps.
- Increased accessibility of most popular CFDs for clients with smaller deposits due to a leverage rate of 1:500 that will be available for [DAX30], [FTSE100], [DJI30], [NQ100], [SP500], [ASX200], GOLD, SILVER, WTI and BRENT.
- More trading opportunities for one of the major currency pairs - USDCHF - and other currency pairs with the Swiss franc, which will no longer be an exception from general FX terms and will get the leverage up to 1:500.
- Traditional, straightforward margin calculation.
