HIGH MARKET VOLATILITY

Dear clients!

Due to the upcoming US presidential election, the market may show high volatility and liquidity providers may increase margin requirements (lower leverage) for some instruments for risk management purposes. To protect your funds, we recommend you to maintain a Margin level of 200% and higher!
Please consider this information while planning your trading strategy! Good luck in trading!

Sincerely yours,
FortFS
