Vest Exchange adds temporary leverage limits around major events, says rules will be reworked

Vest Exchange says it will never ban event or news trading, but Temporary Leverage Limits (TLL) now apply to Vest Capital accounts around major events. For Nonfarm Payrolls, CPI and FOMC, leverage is capped at 5x on ES, NQ, RTY and YM and 3x on GC and SI; single-stock earnings carry 1x on the reporting stock. Limits run 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after each event. Positions above the cap are reduced or closed, and cancelled orders are not restored afterward. Following trader feedback, the exchange says the rules are being reworked to be less restrictive and less complex.
