Under normal trading conditions, Monaxa offers leverage up to 1:2000, subject to the Client’s account leverage setting (“Default Leverage”). During periods of elevated volatility and reduced liquidity around major news events, daily rollover, and the weekend market close, Monaxa temporarily caps available leverage on newly opened positions (“HMR Periods”).
