Important Update - Upcoming Volatility Expected

Please be informed that on 30th November 2014 there will be a Swiss referendum taking place.

Therefor ICM Capital will closely monitor margin requirements in the weeks leading up to this event.

Important:

  1. Ensure you are aware of the margin requirements and stop-out levels on your MT4 account. Note, margin levels may be increased on some products, especially major CHF pairs.
  2. Adopt appropriate risk management by adjusting your position sizes and orders to cover your position during possible volatile market conditions
  3. Positions will be closed out in case of insufficient margin. Ensure you have sufficient funds in your account. If not, fund in good time to ensure positions are supported.

The live championship will commence on the 21st July and all the traders will compete for cash prizes until 6th September 2014.
