Taurex is pleased to announce a significant update to its Dynamic Leverage framework. Effective April 20, 2026, the new structure introduces simplified equity-based tiers and lower margin requirements across Forex, Indices, Commodities, Crypto, Shares, and ETFs, giving traders greater flexibility and more capital to deploy across a wider range of instruments.
What’s Changing?
The updated Dynamic Leverage model consolidates the previous multiple tiers into five clear, equity-based tiers for main instrument categories, and two tiers for Shares and ETFs. Each tier is defined by the total equity in your trading account. As your account equity increases and crosses specific thresholds, your maximum available leverage is adjusted according to the corresponding tier. This simpler setup replaces the earlier system, making it easier to understand how your account equity determines your leverage and to plan your trades accordingly. It is designed to maximize the capital you can use while maintaining transparency.
Key Highlights
Lower Margin Requirements: Enjoy reduced margin rates across multiple asset classes, meaning that less capital is locked in margin across your favourite instruments. For example, FX Majors and Gold now start at 1:2000 leverage for accounts with equity up to $3,000.
Simplified Tier Structure: Five straightforward equity tiers replace the previous multi-tier system. Whether you’re trading FX, Indices, Commodities, or Crypto, the same five-tier logic applies. This enables easier calculation of your margin and more effective planning your positions.
Greater Portfolio Diversification: With lower margin requirements, traders can diversify across multiple instruments and asset classes without being constrained by excessive margin obligations.
