Yes, you can trade during the release of important macroeconomic news, but there are a few factors to consider:
- For positions on currency pairs and metals (such as gold and silver) opened 15 minutes before and 10 minutes after the release of major macroeconomic news, the maximum leverage may be restricted to 1:200.
- If margin requirements increase during this period, they will be recalculated 10 minutes after the news release. At that time, the margin requirements for those positions will be adjusted in accordance with the leverage ratio set on your account.
- An order might be executed at a different price from the last market price update for accounts with Market execution.
Major macroeconomic news is highlighted in yellow or red (medium or high importance) on the economic calendar.
