Our tiered margin system (available on MT4 and MT5) applies across all crypto CFDs.
• Group BTC (BTCUSD): Margin requirements are per-coin based, providing a consistent requirement per coin regardless of total position size.
• Groups A,B, C (All other crypto CFDs): Margin requirements are based on position size, with each group having its own thresholds for different margin tiers. Smaller positions enjoy the highest leverage, while larger positions move into lower tiers with increased margin requirements to manage risk
The table below shows the margin requirements for BTCUSD, which is tiered on a per-coin basis.
| Tier | Leverage | BTC (per coin) |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 500:1 | 0-1 |
| T2 | 300:1 | 1.01-2 |
| T3 | 100:1 | 2.01-5 |
| T4 | 50:1 | 5.01-10 |
| T5 | 6:1 | 10.01-20 |
| T6 | 2:1 | 20.01+ |
Important Notes :
• Clients using multiple accounts may incur higher margin rates to reflect the aggregate exposure across all accounts.
• We reserve the right to adjust margin tiers at our discretion, including leverage levels and position size thresholds, to reflect market conditions and risk considerations.
Example — BTC (Coins) • Position: 1.90 BTC (1 BTC = $111,000 > Notional = $210,900)
For BTC, the tiered margin is based on the number of coins — not the USD notional.
Price is only used to convert the margin to USD.
0-1.00 ВТС (T1 500:1)
1.00-1.90 BTC (T2 300:1)
1. T1 (500:1) — first 1.00 BTC →1.00 ÷ 500 = 0.002000 BTC (× $111, 000 = $222.00)
2. T2 (300:1) — next 0.90 BTC →0.90 ÷ 300 = 0.003000 BTC (× $111, 000 = $333.00)
Total margin = (0.002000 + 0.003000) BTC = 0.005000 BTC ≈ $555.00 at $111, 000/BTC
The table below shows the margin requirements for Group A coins, including Ethereum (ETHUSD), XRP (XRPUSD), Binance Coin (BNBUSD), and Solana (SOLUSD).
| Tier | Leverage | Other - Position size (USD) |
|---|
Important Notes:
• Clients using multiple accounts may incur higher margin rates to reflect the aggregate exposure across all accounts.
• We reserve the right to adjust margin tiers at our discretion, including leverage levels and position size thresholds, to reflect market conditions and risk considerations.
Example — Group A (USD Notional) • Position: $120, 000
Margin is calculated on a slice basis: each portion of your position falls into the next tier.
$0-100k (T1 500:1)
100-120k (T2 300:1)
1. T1 (500:1) — first $100,000 → $100,000 ÷ 500 = $200
2. T2 (300:1) — next $20,000 → $20, 000 ÷ 300 = $66.67
Total margin = $200 + $66.67 = $266.67
You keep T1 on the first $100k. Only the portion above $100k moves to T2.
The table below shows the margin requirements for Group B coins, including Dogecoin (DOGEUSD), TRON (TRXUSD), Cardano (ADAUSD), Chainlink (LINKUSD), Sui (SUIUSD), and Stellar (XLMUSD).
| Tier | Leverage | Position size (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 500:1 | 0-50,000 |
| T2 | 300:1 | 50,001-100,000 |
| T3 | 100:1 | 100,001-250,000 |
| T4 | 50:1 | 250,001-500,000 |
| T5 | 6:1 | 500,001-1,000,000 |
| T6 | 2:1 | 1,000,001+ |
Important Notes:
• Clients using multiple accounts may incur higher margin rates to reflect the aggregate exposure across all accounts.
• We reserve the right to adjust margin ties at our discretion, including leverage levels and position size thresholds, to reflect market conditions and risk considerations.
Example — Group B (USD Notional) • Position: $180.000
Margin is calculated on a slice basis: each portion of your position falls into the next tier.
$0-50k (T1 500:1)
50-100k (T2 300:1)
100-180k (Т3 100:1)
1. T1 (500:1) — first $50,000 → $50, 000 ÷ 500 = $100
2. T2 (300:1) — next $50,000 → $50, 000 ÷ 300 = $166.67
2. 3 (100:1) — last $80,000 → $80, 000 ÷ 100 = $800
Total margin = $100 + $166.67 + $800 = $1, 066.67
You keep the better leverage for the earlier slices. Only the amount above each threshold moves to the next tier.
The table below shows the margin requirements for all 28 Group C coins.
| Tier | Leverage | Position size (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 500:1 | 0-20,000 |

| T3 | 100:1 | 40,001-100,000 |
| T4 | 50:1 | 100,001-200,000 |
| T5 | 6:1 | 200,001-400,000 |
| T6 | 2:1 | 400,001+ |
Important Notes
• Clients using multiple accounts may incur higher margin rates to reflect the aggregate exposure across all accounts.
• We reserve the right to adjust margin tiers at our discretion, including leverage levels and position size thresholds, to reflect market conditions and risk considerations.
Example — Group C (USD Notional) • Position: $120.000
Each threshold adds a new slice with its own leverage; margin adds up across slices.
$0-20k (T1 500:1)
20-40k (T2 300:1)
40-100k (Т3 100:1)
100-120k (Т4 50:1)
1. T1 (500:1) — first $20,000 → $20, 000 ÷ 500 = $40
2. T2 (300:1) — next $20,000 → $20, 000 ÷ 300 = $66.67
3. Т3 (100:1) — next $60,000 → $60, 000 ÷ 100 = $600
4. T4 (50:1) — last $20,000 → $20, 000 ÷ 50 = $400
Total margin = $40 + $66.67 + $600 + $400 = $1,106.67
You keep the better leverage for the earlier slices. Only the amount above each threshold moves to the next tier.

Understanding the risks
Leverage risk
Leverage trading magnifies both gains and losses. This means you can lose more than your initial capital, especially in fast-moving markets
No ownership of underlying asset
When trading CFDs, you do not own the underlying asset. As a result, you're not entitled to dividends, voting rights, or other shareholder benefits.
Spread risk
Although GO Markets offers competitive, exchange-like spreads, spreads may widen significantly during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. This can increase your trading costs and impact your trading outcomes.
Cryptocurrency CFD trading strategies
Technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and sentiment analysis can all be used when trading cryptocurrency CFDs.
Technical analysis involves studying charts and using indicators to identify trends and potential entry and exit points.
Fundamental analysis involves studying economic and political events that may affect the value of cryptocurrencies.
Sentiment analysis involves involves studying the mood of the market and the views of other traders and investors.
