- If a position on any given instrument is opened or closed (fully or partially) within an hour of the Friday trading session close, the leverage applied to all positions is 1:50 (for positions in Volatility index futures CFDs – 1:5). This includes positions opened prior to the pre-close hour but does not include those with lower leverage rates (e.g. 1:2). The above term has an extended duration for a number of CFDs on indices and bonds, the relevant data is specified on the instrument pages in Contract Specifications.
