#TradFi首创多倍杠杆 Gate TradFi Multi-Leverage (CFD) Trading Rules (2026 Latest)
Information for reference only, does not constitute investment advice
I. Core Mechanism (Maximum Difference from Crypto Perpetual Contracts)
- Product Type: CFD Contracts for Difference, not perpetual contracts
- Leverage Mode: Fixed tiers, not manually adjustable; select corresponding leverage contract (e.g., XAUUSD20/100/200/500)
- Margin: Cross Margin mode, all USDx in account shared
- Trading Hours: Not 24/7, fixed market opening/closing/break times (e.g., forex/gold/indices)
- Pricing Unit: USDx (platform internal unit, 1:1 anchored to USDT, automatic conversion)
- Overnight Fee: Finance charge collected on positions held across market breaks (different rates for long/short)
II. Leverage Tiers (All Products)
- Gold (XAUUSD): 20x, 100x, 200x, 500x (first multi-tier offering)
- Silver (XAGUSD): 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x
- Forex/Indices (EURUSD, USDJPY, NAS100, US30, HK50, etc.): 20x, 100x, 200x, 500x
- Stock CFDs: Maximum 4x–5x (low leverage)
- Unified Cap: 500x
III. Margin and Liquidation Rules
- Initial Margin Requirement (IMR): = 1 / Leverage (e.g., 100x=1%, 500x=0.2%)
- Maintenance Margin Requirement (MMR): Approximately 50% of IMR (platform dynamically adjusted)
- Liquidation Level: Margin ratio ≤50% triggers forced liquidation
- Position Hedging: Long/short on same asset can be netted by lot size without duplicate margin usage
- Risk Limit: Larger positions incur lower available leverage; single-order and total position limits apply
IV. Trading and Position Rules (2026.3.11 Latest)
- Order Types: Market, limit, take-profit/stop-loss, conditional orders
- Single Order Limit: Stock CFDs 100 lots; others (forex/gold/indices) 1000 lots
- Account Total Position + Pending Order Limit: 300 (all TradFi assets included)
- Commission: Minimum $0.018 per order (by contract and lot size)
- Overnight Fee: Collected during market breaks, different rates for long/short (published by platform)
V. Operation Flow (Simplified)
1. Open TradFi Account (Gate App/Official Website)
2. Transfer USDT to TradFi sub-account → automatically converts to USDx
3. Select leverage contract (e.g., XAUUSD20/100)
4. Open long/short, set take-profit and stop-loss
5. Hold position across market break → automatic overnight fee deduction
6. Margin <50% → system force liquidates
VI. Risk Control Iron Rules (Must Follow)
- Single-asset position ≤ **10%** of funds
- Set stop-loss on every order, single-trade loss ≤ **5%** of principal
- 500x only for test orders (≤1% of funds), no averaging down
- Lower leverage during high volatility (prioritize 20x–50x)
- Do not over-concentrate in stock CFDs (maximum 5x)
