Dear Valued Customers,
Thank you for your continuous support and trust in WCG!
To provide you with a more flexible, premium trading environment and to maximize your capital efficiency, our Risk Management Department has conducted a thorough evaluation and decided to optimize our holding policies for Gold (XAU/USD) and Silver (XAG/USD) contracts. Effective from the upcoming Friday market close (June 12, 2026), the restrictions on reducing leverage during weekends and holidays will be completely abolished.
The previous operational restriction—where leverage was lowered 3 hours before market close and restored within the first 5 minutes of market open during weekends or long holidays—is now officially and permanently removed.
Clients holding overnight positions over weekends and holidays will fully enjoy the same fixed leverage as weekdays (1:400 for Gold / 1:100 for Silver). There is no need to inject additional funds; you are only required to maintain 100% of the standard weekday margin requirement for your existing positions.
The optimized leverage and margin specifications are detailed below:
| Trading Product | Standard Weekday Fixed Leverage | Latest Weekend & Holiday Overnight Leverage | Margin Requirement Before Market Close | Effective Date |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | 1:400 | 1:400 (Unchanged) | Maintain 100% of standard margin (No additional funds required) | June 12, 2026 (Before this Friday's market close) |
| Silver (XAG/USD) | 1:100 | 1:100 (Unchanged) | Maintain 100% of standard margin (No additional funds required) | June 12, 2026 (Before this Friday's market close) |
The Strategic Benefits of This Optimization:
With the implementation of this policy, clients will no longer face capital pressure caused by routine leverage reductions ahead of weekends or extended holidays. This significantly eliminates the risk of sudden drops in your account's Margin Level or unexpected forced liquidations (stop-outs) triggered by leverage adjustments before market close. It empowers you to achieve true 24-hour, uninterrupted, and highly efficient capital allocation autonomy.
While the abolition of holiday leverage reductions vastly enhances your capital flexibility, please be reminded that international markets may still experience severe market gaps (opening significantly higher or lower) due to unexpected geopolitical or economic events over weekends and holidays. We strongly advise you to closely monitor your account equity, maintain a robust risk management awareness, evaluate your risk tolerance reasonably, and strictly implement proper position management and stop-loss settings.
Should you have any questions regarding this policy optimization or require further trading assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager or our 24/7 Live Customer Service team. We are fully committed to providing you with the highest level of professional support.
Wish you profitable trading!
