Dear Client / Trader,

As noted in our previous email, with the upcoming French Presidential Election, we anticipate higher uncertainties in the global financial markets. The French Presidential Election is to be held on Sunday, 7th May 2017. Immediately before and after the election the global financial markets will likely experience higher volatility with wider spreads and periods of reduced liquidity. To protect the best interest of our clients, we would like to inform you that we will increase the margin requirements on all clients' live account(s) temporarily setting the leverage ratio to 100:1 (margin requirements to 1%) from (GMT-5) 5th May 2017. Please note that the required margin can further increase depending on the market situations.
This will add additional margin requirements to maintain your open or existing position(s) and will also affect new trades. So, please note that you should take appropriate measures to mitigate your trading risk as it is designed to protect you from higher risk arising from higher volatility.

In addition, please keep in mind that under certain circumstances Land Prime has the right to control or close your open position(s) to meet the minimum margin requirements.

These temporary risk parameters may persist over the weekend depending on the market reaction to the election results.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best Regards,
Land-FX Account Team.

Notice : French Presidential Election on the 23rd April

18 Apr 2017

Dear Client / Trader,

In anticipation of French Presidential Election, we would like to give you a heads up on potential market volatility. The first round of the French Presidential Election is being held on Sunday the 23rd of April 2017 and it may lead to the vote for "Frexit" deciding whether France should leave or remain in the European Union. In the above situation the global financial markets will likely experience increased volatilities creating wider spreads and period of reduced liquidity with the wider market gap.

As Land Prime has the duty to protect our clients’ best interest, we would like to inform you that we may increase the required margin of all clients' live account(s) prior to the election. Details of the margin rate changes and timing will be further communicated this week and these temporary risk parameters may persist for an extended period of time depending on the market reaction to the election results.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best Regards,
Land-FX Account Team.
