MARGIN REQUIREMENTS

MARGIN REQUIREMENTS

Margin requirements are an essential aspect of trading, determining the amount of capital needed to open and maintain positions. These requirements vary based on the instrument, market conditions, and regulatory guidelines. Understanding margin levels is key to managing your trading risk effectively.

By staying informed about margin requirements, you can optimize your leverage, control exposure, and ensure sufficient account balance to sustain your trades. Always monitor your positions to avoid margin calls and ensure seamless trading.

Margin Requirements and Trading Limits

As the transaction size increases, even a minor market movement might have a great impact on your Trading Account, therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned categorization and as an effort to protect your investment capital from excessive leverage, we have implemented a sophisticated Margin Requirement Policy, which you can see below:

How do I Calculate Margin Requirements?

Please note that for Forex and Metals margin requirements, it is counting your account leverage.

Example Calculations

For example, if the client had chosen 1:50 account leverage during registration.

EURUSD = 1 × 100,000 × 1% ÷ 50 = 20 EUR

For 1 lot of Cocoa with open price 5943 USD:

COCOA = 1 × 100 × 5943 × 2% = 11,886 USD

  • The Company reserves the right to alter the margin requirements, as well as the maximum order size at any given time without any prior notice, as it deems appropriate, due to abnormal market conditions or any other upcoming economic events/news that it believes will have an impact in the stability of financial markets.
