Risk Management Tools and Position Control

Our platforms allow setting stop-loss and take-profit orders to manage risk automatically. These can be configured during order entry or modified while trades are active.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

Leverage up to 1:500 is offered for major forex pairs, compliant with South African regulations. Minors and commodities have lower maximum leverage due to higher volatility. The margin panel on each platform displays real-time margin usage and equity levels. Margin calls alert traders when funds approach maintenance requirements.
