\n\tDear Trader,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Cryptocurrency market continues to be highly volatile and is exposed to high liquidity risk. As a result our risk management team has decided to further increase the margin requirement for all Cryptocurrencies from 20% to 50%. However, BTCUSD will remain at 20%.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis adjustment will be effective from <\/span> <\/span>Friday the 22nd of December 2017 at <\/span>00:00 MT4 time\/09:00 AM AEDT.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new margin requirement of 50% will apply to all new and existing positions. Any clients planning to continue holding Crypto positions should consider the margin impact this will have on their account and deposit additional funds if necessary.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe will continue to carefully monitor market volatility and should there be any further changes, we will contact you via email, the trading platforms, or by changes on our website.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tOur support team are available 24\/5 via Live Chat<\/a>, email <\/a>or telephone to assist you with any questions.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe appreciate your understanding and thank you in advance for your cooperation.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKind regards,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
