The broker announced it will make several changes to its trading conditions in the period between November 7-12.

Forex: 5 000 000;
Gold and Silver: 1 000 000;
Oil and gas: 500 000;
Indices and Metals: 300 000;
Shares: 100 000.
Additionally, developments in the market may prompt Forex Club to reduce the leverage on the following instruments:
Forex: 50:1
Silver 50:1
Oil and gas is 10:1

Shares 4:1
With the approaching of the US presidential election, the list of brokers who are taking precautionary measures against eventual high market volatility is expanding. Among them are Dukascopy Bank, Hantec Markets, LCG, Blackwell Global, Vantage FX, MTBankFX, Alpari, OctaFX, CapitalIndex, IG Group and Saxo Bank. Another major forex broker – Forex.com – said it may hike the margin requirements.
