Gedik Yatırım is a Turkish capital-markets intermediary offering domestic shares and derivatives, foreign securities and a separate leveraged forex/CFD service. Its 2026 published fee policy gives valuable operational information about statutory tax, custody and idle client-money treatment, but parts of its itemised rate table are rendered dynamically and cannot be responsibly transcribed as a complete numerical quote. A 19 October 2026 firm notice provides unusually consequential live contract information: from 20 October at 15:00 Turkey time, XAGUSD and SI_Z leverage was changed to 1:8, affecting already-open positions.[1][2]

The silver notice is unusually material because it applies to existing positions. A change in margin terms can require additional collateral even without a new trade. Overseas stock-option permissions are a separate matter: UP Trader’s published route is limited to buying calls and puts and does not offer margin trading under that description.[2][3]
