IC Markets launched its Dynamic Leverage

Recently, IC Markets has announced a new dynamic leverage for US stock trading. On Friday, June 2025, the new leverage system will automatically adjust based on the time of day during the US trading session, reflecting the broker's commitment to better manage market volatility.

Dynamic Leverage Schedule for US Stocks

According to IC Markets, the new settings will be automatically applied during the US session from 16:35 to 22:55 (server time).

Its goal is to give traders access to higher leverage during lower-volatility periods. The objective is to minimize risk exposure while maintaining a flexible trading environment.
