2. Adjustment rules
From 15 minutes before each data release until 5 minutes after the release, the leverage for the affected instruments will be temporarily adjusted as follows:
| Instrument | Temporary leverage |

| Oil | 1:100 |
| Gold | 1:100 |
| Silver | 1:50 |
| Indices | 1:100 |
| Commodities | 1:5 |
3. Notes
The leverage limit is a regular mechanism that takes effect automatically on every trading day. During a special period, when any position change occurs in the account, including opening/closing positions and modifying take-profit/stop-loss orders, the required margin for all positions will be recalculated based on the special-period leverage limits and margin ratios. Ensure your account has sufficient margin before each special period. No further notice will be issued by Bitget CFD.
Leverage will automatically return to its original level after the adjustment period ends. Assess your position risk in advance and manage your positions accordingly.
If you have any questions, contact customer service.
