TeleTrade updates margin requirements for MT5 CENT accounts
New TeleTrade margin rules take effect on February 17, 2025
TeleTrade, an international brokerage firm established in 1994, has announced upcoming changes to margin requirements for MT5 TT SV CENT accounts.
The new rules will take effect on February 17, 2025, impacting trading conditions across various asset classes, including Forex, CFDs on metals, indices, and energy commodities, according to the broker’s website.
Introduction of floating leverage
As part of these changes, a floating leverage system will be introduced for all MT5 CENT accounts. This mechanism will automatically adjust leverage levels based on the notional value of a trader’s open positions. The larger the net position on a specific instrument, the lower the available leverage, requiring increased margin coverage.
Traders are advised to adjust their open positions by February 14, 2025, to comply with the new margin requirements. The changes will take effect before the opening of the trading session on February 17, 2025.
New margin Requirements for asset classes
The updated margin framework will be calculated based on the total notional volume per instrument in US CENTS. As position sizes increase, the required margin will gradually rise.

Key considerations for traders
Traders must carefully review the new requirements and adjust their positions before February 14, 2025.
- The floating leverage system will apply only to new trades, while existing positions will maintain their current margin conditions.
- During weekends and major economic events, margin rates may be temporarily adjusted. Traders will receive at least three hours' notice before any changes take effect.
- As position sizes increase, leverage will decrease, requiring a larger capital commitment for high-volume trades.
