TeleTrade announces margin requirement changes for MT4 Cent accounts
TeleTrade revises margin tiers for all MT4 Cent trades
TeleTrade, a well-known brokerage offering a wide range of trading instruments, including forex, cryptocurrencies, metals, and other assets, has announced upcoming changes to margin requirements for MT4 Cent accounts.
According to information published on the TeleTrade website, the adjustments will take effect on March 3, 2025, introducing floating leverage for all MT4 Cent accounts before the start of the trading session.
The broker strongly advises traders to review and adjust their open positions in accordance with the new margin requirements before the end of the February 28, 2025 trading session. These changes will affect forex, CFDs on metals, indices, and energy instruments, with margin calculations transitioning to a notional position value in U.S. cents.
Changes in margin calculation
Under the new system, margin requirements will increase as the net position volume grows per instrument. Traders should be aware of how their leverage levels will shift based on the size of their open positions.
Forex margin adjustments:
Positions up to 20,000,000 CENTS – 0.1% margin (equivalent to 1:1000 leverage).
At 100,000,000 CENTS – 0.2% margin (1:500 leverage).
At 400,000,000 CENTS – 1% margin (1:100 leverage).
The highest tier, 10,000,000,000,000 CENTS, will require 4% margin (1:25 leverage).
CFD metals and indices:
CFD metals start with a 0.2% margin (1:500 leverage) at 100,000,000 CENTS, increasing to 4% margin (1:25 leverage) at 10,000,000,000,000 CENTS.
CFD indices have a 0.5% margin (1:200 leverage) at 100,000,000 CENTS, increasing incrementally to 10% margin (1:10 leverage) at the highest level.
CFD energy instruments:
Starting with a 0.5% margin (1:200 leverage) at 100,000,000 CENTS, the margin requirement gradually increases to 10% margin (1:10 leverage) at the highest trading volume tier.
Traders encouraged to prepare in advance
TeleTrade emphasizes the importance of strategic planning ahead of these changes to prevent forced position liquidations. The introduction of floating leverage will require more precise risk management. Traders are encouraged to prepare in advance for the new trading conditions before the implementation date.
Additionally, as of February 17, 2025, TeleTrade has introduced new margin requirements for MT5 TT SV Cent accounts.
