Please view the latest margin requirements table below for the list of affected symbols. You can also monitor margin rates in the platform or on your online back office.
Please note that margin requirement this time will affect every customer, and potentially would cause orders to stop out if no risk management action has been taken.
☆Furthermore, please be advised that there is an increased probability of wider spreads due to thin liquidity in the market. Ensure you have adequate funds in your account leading up to and during the election. This includes all “hedged” positions as if spreads widen, there is high possibility that will stop out positions.
