How to prepare如何應對市場風險？
Clients are advised to use extreme caution for the duration of the US election. The election has the potential for high volatility as the market prices in the results throughout the day.
建議客戶在美國大選期間更要謹慎交易。大選全天的結果都有可能造成市場價格的大幅波動。
Increase capitalisation – Top up your funds in case margins are increased on products that you are trading and to prepare for the higher volatility.
提高账戶可用資金—入金充足以防交易產品保證金提高，並可應對市場價格的大幅波動。
Decrease exposure – Periods of heightened volatility demand lower exposure. Lower exposure will allow positions to move more out of the money without exceeding your defined risk limits. Also consider further limiting exposure to or ceasing trading on products that will be most affected by the election.
降低風險敞口—較強市場波動時期要求降低風險暴露（降低持倉）。較低的倉位可以使您的資金虧損幅度不會超過您定義的風險額度。如果想要進一步降低風險暴露，可以暫停交易受大選影響最大的交易產品。
Use stop losses and wider stops – Using stops in the markets has never been more crucial. Unexpected moves are likely during the election, so make sure to protect positions with fixed stop losses.
使用止損並設置較寬的止損—在市場交易中使用止損非常關鍵。尤其是在可能出現較大市場波動的大選期間，因此請確認倉位設置了固定止損以保證倉位免於重大損失。（請了解，由於流動性原因，止損並不能完全鎖定風險，可能會由於行情走勢造成過大滑點。）
Hedged accounts – Traders who have hedged positions (long and short the same product) should be wary that wide spreads may result in a margin call and or stop out
鎖倉—持有鎖倉的客戶（同時持有某一種產品的空單和多單）應該明白點差擴大可能造成保證金預警或者爆倉。具體細節參考：http://www.icmarketsasia.com/html/Risk_Declaration/Risk_Declaration_688.html
【因此如果鎖倉需要將账戶完全對鎖，且不留有任何即便鎖倉也佔用保證金的產品（如黃金）（確保預付款爲0）。同時爲了避免止盈止損的執行使得账戶失去完全對鎖功能，建議鎖倉時盡量不要設置止盈止損，除非您擁有充足的可用保證金。
建議在此期間暫停交易，如果一定要交易，請在交易前查看風險聲明，以確定您在交易中能正確的理解各項訂單執行的結果。風險聲明：http://www.icmarketsasia.com/html/icmarkets/youmustknow/Risk_Declaration/
