1. When conducting futures trading, investors should pay a certain proportion of funds according to the futures contracts they buy and sell as a condition for performance. This fund is called margin. It is reported that the margin payment ratio of different futures varieties is also different.
2. According to different purposes, margin can be divided into trading margin and settlement margin. Usually, people talk about trading margin. Trading margin is the funds that investors guarantee the performance of the contract in the special account of the exchange, that is, the funds occupied by the contract. The settlement margin is also in the special settlement account of the investor exchange, but it is the remaining part after the transaction margin is removed.
Usually, the deposit is collected at different levels. Ordinary investors can only trade through futures companies. Therefore, the exchange will not directly collect the deposit from investors, but will collect it from members, who will then collect it from investors. It is understood that the collection of futures margin is not fixed. Sometimes the exchange will adjust the margin ratio according to the actual market to control the risk, and the exchange will increase the margin ratio when the delivery is approaching or the contract continues to rise and fall.
4. The market of futures trading is fluctuating, and sometimes the margin is insufficient. What if the deposit is insufficient? If the margin in the investor's account is insufficient, it should be added immediately. According to the relevant regulations, the futures company will notify the account holder to make up the deposit before the market opens on the next trading day. Otherwise, in order to reduce losses, the futures company will take measures of compulsory liquidation. Futures margin provides great help for the smooth progress of futures trading. When the margin is insufficient, you must remember to take reasonable measures to open positions or add margin.
