Dynamic Leverage for XNG: Enhancing Risk Management

At IC Trading, we continuously strive to empower your trading with smarter tools and features. We’re excited to introduce Dynamic Leverage for Natural Gas (XNG), starting 31 January 2025, designed to adapt to market conditions and improve your trading experience.

What is Dynamic Leverage?
Dynamic Leverage automatically adjusts margin requirements based on position size and trading conditions. This innovative mechanism allows traders to manage risk effectively, especially during high-volatility periods.

When Does It Apply?

  • Dynamic Leverage applies only to new XNG trades opened from Friday, 15:00 server time to Sunday’s end of day.
  • At the Monday market open, leverage will revert to 1:500.
  • Existing positions remain unaffected.

Margin Tiers and Calculation
Margin requirements will be calculated using a tiered structure, ensuring proportional allocation for larger positions:

  • Tier 1: 0 – 10 Lots 1:100 leverage
  • Tier 2:   > 10 lots   1:10 leverage

Why Dynamic Leverage?

  • Smart Risk Management: Automatically adjusts to align with position size, reducing exposure during high-volatility periods.
  • Control Over Existing Positions: Only new trades are affected, ensuring stability for ongoing positions.
  • Effortless Integration: Changes apply automatically during specific times, without disrupting your current trading setup.

How It Benefits You:
Dynamic leverage ensures a more secure and controlled trading environment during volatile market conditions, especially for assets like Natural Gas (XNG). It’s the perfect balance between opportunity and risk management.
