What are tiered index CFD margins?
How it works
Tiered index CFD margins are only available on MT4 and MT5 GO professional (wholesale) clients.
Positions start with maximum leverage (up to 500:1 for certain asset classes).
As position size increases, leverage decreases in predetermined tiers.
There are four distinct tiers based on position size and the index CFD pair being traded.
The table below shows the margin requirements for Group A assets, which is tiered on a per standard lot basis.
