The MT5 mode trading can have very high actual leverage, so essentially before market close, you can go long on one account and short on another. Either way, the loss might just be a few hundred USDT, but if it gaps, you make n times your capital in profits.
I roughly understand, but why, knowing there's such a risk exposure, don't these platforms limit order sizes before market close? For example, requiring more margin to open positions before market close, or preventing such high actual leverage?
