WHAT IS REQUIRED TO MANAGE EXPOSURE?
When you place a trade you must have sufficient available equity to cover the margin costs, or requirement of that position. The margin requirement level must be maintained over and above any profit or losses on your account. It is your responsibility to monitor your account(s) and you may need to inject further funds where applicable.
Please refer to the Markets section of our website to see the most up to date information about all our products, including margin requirements.

How do I calculate my Equity Margin Ratio (E/M) for a Margin Call?
The EM ratio is calculated as follows:
Free Equity (Cash Balance + Credit +/– Floating P&L)/Margin)*100
Floating loss is ≥ (Balance + Credit) – (liquidation level x margin)

What happens if my margin requirement falls below the required level?
Positions will be closed automatically (liquidated) when the Equity/Margin (EM) ratio of your account reaches the predetermined liquidation level. Please refer to the Client Agreement for more details of our liquidation procedures..

WILL I RECEIVE MARGIN CALL NOTIFICATIONS?
For standard accounts, you will receive a margin call email when the equity level on your account falls below 100% of the margin requirement.
However, please note that you are responsible at all times for maintaining adequate margin in your account and you should not rely solely on us to monitor your account or advise you of the requirement to deposit funds. One Financial Markets will not be held liable for losses resulting from non-receipt of margin call emails.
