MARGIN CALCULATION
Trade through Trading Station platform, the margin calculation as below:
- Initial Margin: MMR x 5/3 x lots traded
- Maintenance Margin: MMR x lots traded
- Liquidation Margin: MMR x 2/3 x lots traded
Minimum Margin Requirement calculates the margin requirement based on 5% of gross principal value within 50-100 points of the current market value. Maintenance Margin Requirement (MMR) value is posted in the “simple dealing rates” window on the Trading Station§ and is recalculated from time to time in order to reflect current market conditions. Under normal market conditions, MMR will be recalculated at approximately 8 am HKT each day.
Example
Buy EUR/USD in 30 lots (30,000)
Example 1:
USD-Denominated Account, Initial Margin: US$65.6
Initial Margin: US$65.5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=US$1,965
Maintenance Margin: US$65.5 x 3/5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=US$1,179
Liquidation Margin: US$65.5 x 2/5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=US$786
Example 2:
HKD-Denominated Account, Initial Margin: HK$509.5
Initial Margin: HK$509.5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=HK$15,285
Maintenance Margin: HK$509.5 x 3/5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=HK$9,171
Liquidation Margin: HK$509.5 x 2/5 x 30 (for 30 lots)=HK$6,114
