Tiered margins on Bonds CFDs

Leverage up to 200:1 on certain bonds CFD pairs — available exclusively to GO Professional (wholesale) clients.

What are tiered bonds CFD margins?

Tiered bonds margins offer a dynamic leverage system that adjusts based on your position size. Smaller positions receive higher leverage, while larger positions automatically receive lower leverage to manage risk.

How it works

Tiered bonds CFD margins are only available on MT4 and MT5 GO professional (wholesale) clients.

Positions start with maximum leverage (up to 200:1 for certain asset classes).

As position size increases, leverage decreases in predetermined tiers.

There are four distinct tiers based on position size and the bonds CFD pair being traded.

The table below shows the margin requirements for Group A assets, which is tiered on a per standard lot basis.

Important Notes :

  • Tier margining does not change your account’s maximum leverage. Your account leverage cap always applies. If your leverage cap is lower than a tier’s leverage, you will still be capped at your account limit. Tiered margining only means the margin required may increase as your position size grows.
  • Clients using multiple accounts may incur higher margin rates to reflect the aggregate exposure across all accounts.
  • We reserve the right to adjust margin tiers at our discretion, including leverage levels and position size thresholds, to reflect market conditions and risk considerations.

Example: UST10-F  (Standard Lots) •  Position: 1,000 Standard Lots

For Bonds, the tiered margin is based on the number of standard lots held.
Units and currencies for each instrument can be found in the specifications.

1. T1 (200:1) — first 450 standard lots (450 USD) of UST10-F $110.20 →  1 / 200 = 0.005
($450 x 11020) x 0.005 = $ 24795 USD

2. T2 (100:1) — following 550 standard lots (550 USD) of UST10-F $110.20 →  1 /  100 = 0.01    

($550 x 11020) x 0.01 = $60,610 USD

Total margin= $24,795 + $60,610 = $85,405 USD is required for margin.
