## Gaps <a href="#gaps" id="gaps"></a>

The price of commodities can change while the market is closed, leading to gaps when the market reopens at a different price than its previous close. This can significantly affect your trades:

* Risk of Liquidation: A gap in the opposite direction of your position can lead to liquidation.
* Potential Gains: Gaps can also work to your advantage, potentially leading to higher-than-expected profits.

Due to this, LeverageX cannot guarantee stop losses for commodities, and caution is advised when keeping positions open during market closures.

## Reduced Leverage/Increased Spread <a href="#reduced-leverage-increased-spread" id="reduced-leverage-increased-spread"></a>

During specific conditions, LeverageX adjusts leverage and spread settings temporarily:

* Major USD News Events: From 1 hour before to 10 minutes after the event.
* Market Closures: Starting 30 minutes before the market closes.
