Gerchik & Co introduces floating leverage and updated margin rules
Gerchik & Co updates margin requirements
Gerchik & Co, an international broker founded by professional traders, has announced significant changes to its trading conditions.
The broker has implemented a floating leverage system and updated margin requirements for different asset groups on the MetaTrader 5 platform. These updates aim to improve risk management and enhance trading stability.
How the floating leverage system works
Under the new system, leverage will gradually decrease depending on the volume of open positions within a specific asset group. Each group has predefined leverage levels, meaning that as the volume of open positions increases, the available leverage for new trades will be reduced.
Key changes:
- Different leverage levels for various asset groups
- Leverage reduction as open positions increase
- Special weekend conditions: From Friday 10:00 p.m. to Sunday 11:55 p.m., special leverage settings will apply
Example: Leverage adjustment for gold (XAUUSD)
Under the new system, gold trading (XAUUSD) will experience dynamic leverage adjustments based on position size:
Positions up to $50,000 — 1:250
Positions from $50,000 to $100,000 — 1:200
Positions from $100,000 to $500,000 — 1:151.51
Positions above $1,000,000 — 1:66.6
These adjustments aim to reduce risks and promote responsible capital management as trading volumes increase.
Margin requirements and important considerations
The new margin requirements apply to all assets and account types, except for Prop Trading accounts.
Key points:
Existing positions remain unchanged – The new rules apply only to new trades exceeding the established limits.
Pre-scheduled adjustments during volatility – On weekends and during major economic events, margin requirements may temporarily change. Traders will receive a notification at least three hours before such changes take effect.
Risk reduction and trading stability – The new system is designed to protect traders, especially those using high-leverage strategies.
Gerchik & Co encourages all traders to review these changes carefully and consider them when planning their trades. The company remains committed to providing competitive trading conditions with a strong focus on effective risk management.
