Tiered margins on Bonds CFDs
Leverage up to 200:1 on certain bonds CFD pairs.
What are tiered bonds CFD margins?
Tiered bonds margins offer a dynamic leverage system that adjusts based on your position size. Smaller positions receive higher leverage, while larger positions automatically receive lower leverage to manage risk.
How it works
Tiered bonds CFD margins are only available on MT4 and MT5.
Positions start with maximum leverage (up to 200:1 for certain asset classes).
As position size increases, leverage decreases in predetermined tiers.
There are four distinct tiers based on position size and the bonds CFD pair being traded.
