What does the futures margin mean?
In the simplest terms, futures margin refers to increasing the proportion of futures margin. Futures margin refers to investors' own funds in futures accounts. Because futures opening does not need to pay a fee equal to the contract value, only a part of it is paid, so the funds used by investors to open positions are also called futures deposits. Futures guarantee should follow the time regulation of silver transfer.

When will the futures margin be raised?

1. Futures companies rarely take the initiative to adjust the margin ratio, but all follow the exchange.

2. For example, an exchange stipulates that when a variety holds less than 700,000 lots, the margin ratio is 6%; 700,000-900,000 lots, and the margin ratio is 8%; 90- 1 10,000 lots, and the margin ratio is12%; When it exceeds 1 10,000 lots, the margin ratio is 12%. Futures companies are required to increase the margin ratio of exchanges by at least 3 percentage points.

3. In addition, when the market continues to rise and fall, the margin ratio should also be increased according to the risk control measures of the exchange.

4. The margin ratio will be different in different months. Generally, the margin ratio will gradually increase in the first, middle and late months of the month before the delivery month, and will generally increase to 30-50% after delivery.
