Margin and Leverages

Understand Margin Before Opening a Position

Margin is the collateral required to maintain a buy or sell position in futures trading. The required margin depends on the position value and the leverage used.

Leverage allows you to open positions larger than your available capital. However, leverage magnifies potential profits and losses, making risk management essential.

Understand Margin Rules and Risks

What Is Margin?

Margin is collateral required to open and maintain a position. For example, a US$1,000,000 position with a 1% margin requirement needs US$10,000.

Leverage Up To 1:400

Leverage reduces the initial margin required relative to the position value, but does not reduce exposure to price movements across the full position value.

Leverage Risks

Even small price movements can produce significant profits or losses relative to your initial capital. Consider your position size and risk limits.

Margin Call 50%

According to the supplied DIDIMAX material, a margin call warning may be issued when equity falls below 50% of the margin required to maintain a position.

Stop-Out 30%

Stop-out is a margin-level threshold that may trigger automatic position closure under the trading system rules and market conditions.
