Unfortunately, Metatrader isn't a great platform when it comes to making a symbol be traded at a fixed leverage as is required for retail ASIC clients under the new rules. As a result, we have had to make a fair few changes to the calculation of the margin for retail clients with the AU entity.

One of them is that in order for clients to receive the correct leverage, their account must be set to 500:1. This means that if their account leverage is reduced below this level, they will get less leverage than the correct leverage on their positions currently and could cause their accounts to be stopped out.
