Automatic Leverage Adjustment on TradFi - Trader Protection Measures

In the context of the constantly fluctuating traditional finance (TradFi) market, risk calculations that were already challenging become even more complex. To ensure account safety and a stable trading environment, our system will automatically implement temporary leverage adjustments during sensitive periods with economic data releases. For all affected accounts, the fixed and maximum leverage will be adjusted down to 200:1—a reasonable precautionary measure. However, if your current leverage is already below 200:1, it will remain unchanged.

Trading Products Affected by Leverage Adjustment

This temporary adjustment policy applies to a wide range of trading instruments, including:

• Forex (major currency pairs)
• Gold
• Silver
• Crude oil
• Global indices

These products are selected due to their high sensitivity to global economic data and their potential for significant volatility during uncertain market periods.

Adjustment Mechanism: Optimal Choice After Opening a Position

Leverage adjustments after opening a position are designed based on an “intelligent” principle—intervening only when necessary:

During sensitive periods: Any open position will automatically be subjected to a 200:1 leverage to minimize risk.

After the adjustment period ends: existing positions will automatically revert to the account’s original default leverage level without any manual action required from you.

Old positions remain unaffected: Positions opened before the adjustment period will not be impacted by this policy, helping to protect your long-term trades.

Schedule and Key Economic Events

The adjustment system is triggered in two specific scenarios:

Period 1 - Around economic data releases:

• 15 minutes before the release
• 5 minutes after the data release

Period 2 - Around market open/close times:

• 1 hour before the US market closes
• Extending to 30 minutes after the next trading session opens

Major economic indicators that activate the policy include:

• FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) interest rate decisions
• CPI (Consumer Price Index)
• PMI / NMI (Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers’ Index)
• PPI (Producer Price Index)
• GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
• PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures)
• Retail sales
• NFP (Non-farm Payrolls)
• ADP (Private Sector Employment Report)
• Crude oil reserves levels

Important Notes for Trading During Adjustment Periods

To trade effectively in this environment, keep in mind:

Proactively manage leverage levels: If you wish to use higher leverage, avoid opening new positions during the policy activation windows.

Maintain consistency with economic calendar: The leverage adjustment is temporary and fully automatic—no confirmation or manual intervention is needed from users.

Protect long-term positions: Positions opened before sensitive periods will retain their initial leverage levels, allowing you to maintain your long-term trading strategies without disruption from leverage adjustments after opening positions.

This represents a significant step forward in comprehensive risk management, aimed at protecting individual traders and ensuring overall market stability in TradFi.
