First, if your available funds are zero or negative, then you must add margin at this time, otherwise the futures company will force the liquidation. For example, an investor Xiaoming invested 1 10,000 yuan to enter the futures market and make more rebar. The margin of rebar is 5000 yuan, so according to the above formula, Xiao Ming's available funds are 5000 yuan. If you lose 5000 yuan of available funds, you need to add a deposit. Tips: If it's a tie, Xiaoming still has 5000 trading margin in his account, not that there is no money in his account.
Two, the additional margin is divided into two situations:
1. same-day tracking
If the investor's trading position is relatively large, and the intraday market fluctuation is not conducive to the trading direction, it is easy to cause huge floating losses, and the available funds are less than or equal to zero. At this point, an additional deposit will be required.
2. Insure after the transaction is settled
Sometimes investors will encounter such problems. My account is obviously profitable. Why do I have to add margin after the close? At this time, you need to understand the concept of futures settlement price and the interpretation of futures bills. Please poke the link for details.

Third, if investors hold heavy positions and have huge floating losses, resulting in insufficient available funds, they need to immediately add margin in the intraday trading. Under normal circumstances, futures companies will call investors in advance to make up the margin. If the market was extreme at that time and investors failed to make up the margin within the specified time, the futures company would close the position of investors, so investors would try to close the position manually or make up the funds themselves.
If the funds available to investors are negative after the market closes, they need to be added before 8: 50 am on the second trading day, and the varieties with night trading need to be added before 20: 50 pm, otherwise they may be forced to close their positions by futures companies, or there is a risk of strong trading during night trading. Futures companies are forced to trade at the market price, so if the account needs to be insured, investors are advised to add margin as soon as possible or handle it by themselves.
