Margin and Margin Requirements

 

We will generally reject any order you place if your available margin is less than the margin required to place an order or to maintain an open position.

In an instance, if your position is closed and your account has a negative balance, you are responsible for all losses and must pay us the full amount immediately. The system may automatically issue a margin call notification to you.

 

When your account no longer has enough margin to meet the margin requirement, you will receive a margin call email and a margin call message will appear on the trading platform. It is recommended that you add margin to 3% of the position value or reduce the position to release some used margin. If the equity of the account falls below the liquidation margin requirement, which is 1% of the total position value, no matter whether your position value is positive or negative, some or all of your positions will be liquidated immediately and all pending orders will be cancelled.
