**** All margins are for 1/1000 leverage and 1 standard lot volume. Templer Markets offers leverage range 1:1 to 1:2000

Templer Markets leverage depends on the type of trading account and the volume of funds it contains. Margin requirements increase when the funds available in a client's account increase. This is due to the increasing costs of hedging open orders. As a result, leverage is changing as well.

Closing a hedging order during the period of increased margin requirements is treated as opening a new transaction. This will result in the withholding of additional margin corresponding to the amount of the closed transaction involved in hedging. The margin is calculated based on the increased margin requirements and is distributed proportionally among the open transactions that involve the hedged financial instrument.

Value of leverage for transactions opened during the publication of economic news

During the publication of high-level economic news, margin requirements for new transactions are calculated based on a maximum leverage of 1:100. The change in margin requirements can only occur for the positions opened for the instruments affected by the published news. This rule takes effect 15 minutes before the publication of the news and continues to apply up to 15 minutes after the event.

In cases when these intervals of increased margin requirements for different news releases are less than 15 minutes apart, these periods may be merged into one long period for the instruments involved. The periods of the increased margin requirements coincide with the most important news releases publicly available at : https://secure.templerfx.com/economic_calendar/today/ and the company doesn't inform about that additionally

When the specified period has passed, the margin on positions opened during the period is recalculated based on the amount of funds in the account and the selected leverage value.

This rule makes it possible to reduce traders' risks if the market situation develops unpredictably during significant economic events.

Within two hours after market opening (by Sunday 23:00 GMT), the margin on positions opened during the period of increased margin requirements is recalculated based on the amount of funds in the account and the leverage chosen by the client.
