This temporary measure will be completely waived for all positions and margin requirements will revert to normal (as per normal client account leverage settings) by Monday 8th of May 2017, shortly after the announcement of the results of the second round of the French presidential elections.
Clients who intend to keep open positions during the upcoming French Presidential Elections should ensure that their accounts are sufficiently funded to avoid any disturbances from possible margin calls and/or stop-outs in their trading activity.
