We want to inform you that the upcoming US Election may significantly impact the financial markets. Increased volatility can bring increased trading opportunities but also comes with increased risk and may result in changes to market spreads and pricing. We encourage clients to ensure their accounts are sufficiently margined over this period. To ensure you are prepared, we recommend reviewing your available margin, open positions, and orders ahead of the election.
What should I do to prepare?
- Check your funds: Ensure you have adequate funds in your account to meet minimum margin requirements.
- Review open positions: Confirm that all your open positions will be sufficiently margined if the market moves.
- Risk management tools: Use additional order types, such as stop-loss or limit orders, to help manage your risk effectively.
