Bitget CFD trading adopts a tiered margin ratio system
2026-06-30 04:0003
To further enhance the CFD trading experience and market risk management, Bitget will introduce a tiered margin ratio system for CFD instruments on July 5, 2026 (UTC+8). The feature will apply to all CFD trading instruments, including forex, precious metals, stock indices, and commodities.
1. Mechanism details
1.1 Tiered margin ratios during regular trading hours
Under a tiered margin ratio system, the margin required for a CFD position will be calculated based on the notional exposure tier of the account. The larger the exposure, the higher the applicable margin ratio. This mechanism enables more precise risk management for large positions. Tier specifications and corresponding margin ratios vary by instrument. Refer to the details page for the latest information.
Example: XAUUSD (gold)
| Exposure (USDT) | Margin ratio |
| ≤ 10 million | 0.20% |
| ≤ 20 million | 1.00% |
| ≤ 40 million | 10.00% |
| ≤ 100 million | 20.00% |
| > 100 million | 50.00% |
1.2 Margin ratios during special periods
Special periods refer to the 30 minutes before market close and 30 minutes after market open on each trading day, Monday to Friday. During these periods, the maximum leverage is uniformly limited, and a fixed margin ratio applies to each instrument without the tiered structure.
| Instrument | Maximum leverage during special periods | Corresponding margin ratio |
| Forex | 1:200 | 0.50% |
| Gold | 1:100 | 1.00% |
| Oil | 1:100 | 1.00% |
| Indices | 1:100 | 1.00% |
| Silver | 1:50 | 2.00% |
| Commodities | 1:5 | 20.00% |
The leverage limit is a regular mechanism that takes effect automatically on every trading day. During a special period, when any position change occurs in the account, including opening/closing positions and modifying take-profit/stop-loss orders, the required margin for all positions will be recalculated based on the special-period leverage limits and margin ratios. Ensure your account has sufficient margin before each special period. No further notice will be issued by Bitget CFD.
2. Impact on your account
Keep the following in mind once the feature goes live:
Accounts with large positions: As your exposure moves into higher tiers, the required margin will increase accordingly, and your available margin may decrease.
Accounts holding positions across special periods: Around market close and open, the system will recalculate the required margin for existing positions using the special-period margin ratio.
Existing positions: From July 5, 2026 (UTC+8), all existing positions will be subject to the new tiered margin ratio system.
3. User checklist
We recommend taking the following steps before the new feature goes live:
a. Monitor your account risk level and ensure you have sufficient margin.
b. Review your current position sizes to understand how margin requirements may change after launch.
c. If your account margin is insufficient, add funds promptly or consider reducing or closing positions.
You can view the tiered margin ratio details for each instrument on the trading page.
4. Risk warning
Due to market price fluctuations and the new margin ratio calculation mechanism, if your account margin ratio falls below the maintenance margin requirement, the platform will liquidate positions in accordance with the applicable rules. Any losses resulting from liquidations due to insufficient account margin will be borne solely by the user.
Bitget strongly encourages all users to fully understand the risks associated with leveraged CFD trading, manage position sizes prudently, and exercise careful control over account funds.
