Performance bond is a kind of financial guarantee for buyers and sellers to ensure performance. Traders in the futures market must deposit a certain amount of performance bond when trading. The amount of bonds is set by the exchange that provides contract transactions, usually 5- 15% of the total contract value. Of course, brokers or entrusted brokers will also set an additional margin on their own, which will not be lower than the level set by the exchange. In addition, the level of margin is also affected by the market transaction risk, and more margin is usually paid in the volatile market. At the same time, the margin requirements for hedging and speculative trading are also different. Generally, the deposit received by the former is relatively low. Margin is divided into initial margin and additional margin. The initial margin is the margin paid by the trader before the transaction according to the regulations. Due to price changes, the book losses suffered by traders are deducted from the margin, resulting in a decline in the margin. When the margin is reduced to a lower level (generally stipulated by the exchange), the broker will ask the trader to pay a part of the margin to make the account reach the initial margin level. This extra part is called extra margin.
