Deriv MT5: Lift off with new leverages on synthetic indices

Trade with more flexibility and potentially less margin

Deriv is excited to announce upcoming leverage adjustments for synthetic indices on the MT5 platform for Derived and Swap-free accounts, effective 1 April 2024. These changes are designed to enhance your trading experience by providing greater flexibility and potentially reducing margin requirements for most synthetic indices.

How to use higher leverage to your benefit

Trade with less capital: Lower margin requirements allow you to control larger positions with a smaller portion of funds, potentially amplifying your returns.

Greater flexibility: Increased leverage allows you to control larger volumes with the same capital.

Improved efficiency: Reduced margin allocation to synthetic indices frees up capital for other trading opportunities within your portfolio.

Important note on Jump 100 Index

While leverage is being increased for most synthetic indices, Jump 100 will experience a decrease. This means you’ll need a higher margin to maintain existing positions on Jump 100. Be sure to review your open positions on Jump 100 (if any) before the effective date to ensure you have sufficient account funds to meet the new margin requirements.
