Trading Conditions
Transparent, conservative, written down.
Every rule that shapes how an order is executed and how risk is managed on your account is published on this page. Nothing changes silently.
Leverage and margin
The Labuan Financial Services Authority does not impose a hard leverage cap on money brokers. We have nevertheless chosen to operate at conservative caps well below typical industry levels — because lower leverage is consistent with the long-term interests of our clients.
Once equity falls to 80% of used margin, you are notified and prevented from opening new positions until you top up.
At 50% margin level the system begins closing the largest losing position first to restore the margin requirement.
Leverage caps are conservative across the board. The Company may further reduce maximum leverage for individual accounts, individual symbols, or across the book during high-impact news events and weekend rollovers.
Indicative spreads
All trading costs at IUX Markets are reflected in the spread — there is no separate commission line item. Spreads are floating and depend on the liquidity our providers quote at the moment of execution. The figures below are typical averages observed in normal market conditions and are not guarantees.
