Initial margin requirement
Initial margin requirement - The minimum Margin Balance necessary to establish a NEW Open Position. Trading System reserves the right to change the Initial Margin requirement at it’s sole discretion. The Initial Margin requirement can be expressed as a percentage (i.e., 2% of US dollar position amount) or can be calculated by the Leverage Ratio. For example, a $100,000 position in USD/JPY would require $2,000 of margin given a 2% Margin Requirement. Expressed as a leverage ratio, if 50:1 leverage ratio is used a $100,000 position would require the same Initial Margin ($100,000 / 50 = $2,000).
