Your questions, our answers

We monitor global events that are likely to trigger high volatility. In the event of such, leverage will be adjusted from 15 minutes before to 5 minutes after key announcements, including but not limited to:

- USD-related news: Affecting gold, silver, forex, indices, commodities (e.g., FOMC, CPI, PMI, PPI, GDP, PCE, Retail Sales, NFP, ADP, and more)
- Oil-related news: Affecting oil, commodities (e.g., crude oil inventories)

- Regional economic data: Affecting relevant forex pairs (e.g., CPI, PMI, GDP from major non-US economies)

These events can lead to increased volatility, which is when dynamic leverage will be applied.
