Tiered Crypto CFD Margins
Leverage up to 500:1 on all Crypto CFD pairs — available exclusively to wholesale (GO Professional) clients.
Tiered margin requirements will apply from 22 September 2025.
What Are Tiered Crypto CFD Margins?
How It Works
Tiered Crypto CFD Margins are only available on MT4 and MT5 to GO professional (wholesale) clients.
Positions start with maximum leverage (up to 500:1).
As position size increases, leverage decreases in predetermined tiers.
There are six distinct tiers based on position size and the crypto CFD pair being traded.
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 | Position size (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 500:1 | 0-100,000 |
| T2 | 300:1 | 100,001-200,000 |
| T3 | 100:1 | 200,001-500,000 |
| T4 | 50:1 | 500,001-1,000,000 |
| T5 | 6:1 | 1,000,001-2,000,000 |
| T6 | 2:1 | 2,000,001+ |
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 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 |
| T2 | 300:1 | 20,001-40,000 |
| 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.
Our tiered margin system (available on MT4 and MT5) applies across all crypto CFDs. Each coin group has its own margin requirements based on position size. Smaller positions have access to the highest leverage, while larger positions move into lower tiers with increased margin requirements to manage risk effectively.
