PrimeXBT Reduces Gold Spreads and Increases Leverage Across Trading Platforms

Multi-asset broker PrimeXBT has rolled out a series of platform updates designed to enhance risk management and provide greater trading flexibility across its MetaTrader 5, PXTrader, and Crypto Futures platforms.

The updates come as retail traders increasingly demand more sophisticated tools to navigate volatile market conditions, particularly in precious metals and cryptocurrency markets where price swings have intensified in recent months.

Key changes include the introduction of multiple account functionality per currency on MT5, allowing traders to separate portfolios by strategy or asset class. The Crypto Futures platform now supports bracketed Stop Loss and Take Profit orders with new position entries in hedge mode, whilst estimated liquidation levels are displayed directly on trading charts alongside the existing liquidation price calculator.

Trading conditions have been adjusted across platforms, with Gold (XAU/USD) spreads on MT5 and PXTrader reduced to approximately 20-25 points for standard accounts, even during peak trading sessions. The move addresses growing demand for precious metals trading, where spreads can widen significantly during volatile periods on competing platforms.

On PXTrader, the stop-out level has been lowered from 100% to 50%, providing traders with additional margin before forced liquidation occurs. This adjustment brings the platform more in line with industry standards for CFD trading.

Leverage increases have been implemented across all three platforms. MT5 and PXTrader now offer higher leverage bands for Gold, Silver, major forex pairs, and key indices, particularly on larger volume trades. The Crypto Futures platform has expanded its margin tiers, with smaller altcoin positions now supporting leverage up to 150x - substantially higher than offerings on established cryptocurrency exchanges.

Major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin continue to support leverage up to 200x on the platform. The leverage increases position PrimeXBT competitively against larger exchanges, many of which cap leverage at lower levels following regulatory pressure in various jurisdictions.

According to PrimeXBT, the updates were implemented following trader feedback. The broker is trusted by over 1,000,000 traders across 150+ countries and offers CFDs on stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, alongside crypto futures and forex trading.

The platform operates in a regulatory environment where leverage limits vary significantly by jurisdiction, with some regions imposing strict caps on retail trading leverage whilst others maintain more permissive approaches.
