Higher Margin Requirements Periods

We apply risk management measures to protect positions from possible high volatility during key events and specific time periods that impact the general volatility of the market.
Higher amounts of margin are required to open an order during these periods which are known as HMR (higher margin requirements) periods. The higher margin requirements will apply only to positions that are opened within these periods. The margin requirements of existing positions will not be affected.
Closing an open hedged position during HMR periods can fail if there is insufficient free margin to cover the higher margin requirements, specifically the higher margin requirements on the latter half of a hedged order at the time of closing. The HMR periods include:

Economic News Periods: All forex trading that happens from 15 minutes before major news releases until 10 minutes after will be subject to higher margin requirements.
Weekends & Holidays: All forex trading that happens from and 2 hours before markets closing on Friday and for 1 hour after market opening on Monday will be subject to higher margin requirements. The same rule applies to weekends & Trading Holidays.

Stop Level

Stop level is the minimum distance (difference in pips) between the current market price and the pending order price. The stop level values in the contract specifications table are subject to change and may not be available for traders using certain high-frequency trading strategies or Expert Advisors.
