Gaps
Commodity prices can change while markets are closed, creating gaps where the market opens at a different price than the previous close. Because of this, stop losses are not guaranteed for commodities. Positions held while markets are closed can be liquidated by a gap against the position, or can reopen with more profit than expected if the gap moves in your favor. Consider this risk when using high leverage.Reduced Leverage/Increased Spread
The max leverage is temporarily reduced and spread is temporarily increased during:- Major USD news events, from 3 hours before to 10 minutes after the event.
- Market closing, usually starting 1 hour before the market closes. For tier 2 commodities on Fridays, this can start up to 6 hours before the weekly close.
