Important Changes to BTCUSD Leverage on MT4 Platform

Review the tiered BTCUSD leverage and margin calculations for MT4 accounts under the Vanuatu license, including the rates for positions above two lots.

FXTRADING.com has implemented a tiered leverage structure for BTCUSD trading specifically for clients under our Vanuatu license. This change affects how margin requirements are calculated when trading Bitcoin against the US Dollar on the MT4 platform.

New Leverage Structure Details:

  • First 2 lots: Enhanced leverage of 100:1

  • Beyond 2 lots: Standard leverage rates apply (20:1)

Understanding the Margin Requirements:

Using BTCUSD at $50,000 as an example:

For the first 2 lots:

  • Required margin = $50,000 × 2 lots × 0.01 (1% margin requirement) = $1,000

For each additional lot:

  • Required margin = $50,000 × 1 lot × 0.05 (5% margin requirement) = $2,500 per lot

Important Considerations:

  • This adjustment applies exclusively to the MT4 platform

  • Only accounts under the Vanuatu license are affected

  • Existing positions should be reviewed to ensure they meet the new margin requirements

  • The change is designed to provide more flexible trading options while maintaining responsible risk management
