What is the Margin Requirement?

Margin Requirement is the amount required to open new positions. It is determined by the leverage of the account and the Margin requirements of the instruments traded.

Margin requirements are set per symbol and automatically adapt in cases where the net number of lots on open positions increases or decreases in the client’s account. This is done per trading instrument.

The margin requirement for a specific currency pair is calculated as a percentage of the notional value of such pair. Extreme market movements or events’ risk may necessitate unscheduled update on the MR. When the account base currency differs from the margin currency the appropriate exchange rate will be applied to convert the margin into the account base currency.
