Dear Traders,
We are writing to inform you about a temporary adjustment to trading conditions for Silver (XAG), effective immediately. This decision comes in response to recent market developments.
Following extreme volatility observed on Silver last week, the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) raised margin requirements at market open on December 29 without prior notice. To manage this risk appropriately and protect account exposure, we have implemented the following temporary measures:
📉 Leverage Adjustments (Effective Immediately)
- New Challenge Accounts: Maximum leverage has been reduced to 5:1 for all new challenge purchases.
- Active Funded Accounts (including Instant Funding): Maximum leverage on XAG has also been reduced to 5:1.
Platform-Specific Impact
As the new leverage ratios take effect, please be aware of the following technical implications depending on your trading platform:
- GooeyTrade DXTrade & cTrader: You may temporarily exceed your permitted margin. If this occurs, you will be unable to open new positions until your leverage usage decreases to permitted levels.
- GooeyTrade MatchTrader: Any new trades will automatically reflect the new, higher margin rate.
Important Note
Please note that this is strictly a risk management decision aligned with liquidity providers and CME requirements, and is not related to capital stability.
All withdrawal requests will continue to be processed normally without any delays.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We recommend adjusting your exposure on Silver accordingly.
