Margin Call

   Home > knowledge > What to highlight > Margin Call

1.) In case equity balance (EB) falls below the maintenance margin (MM) requirements, but stays above the forced close margin (FM) levels, the client is not allowed to open a new contract position and is required to top up collateral to restore it back to the initial margin (IM) requirements by 15:00 hrs of the following trading day (T+1)

 

2.) If the client fails to top up collateral within the specified period of time, the company will force close their positions in part or in whole by 1045 hrs of the next trading day (T+2) to maintain their collateral levels to meet the initial margin (IM) requirements, which are calculated at the end of T or T+1, whichever is higher.

3.) The client must bear the risk of the possible loss, which may be higher than the whole amount of collateral placed by the client. The client must pay such amount to the company within the following trading day.

4.) If the value of the collateral on T+1 rises until the value of force closeout narrows, the company will use the amount at the end of T+1 to force close the positions on T+2, but the client is required to top up collateral equal to the reduced amount of the force closeout value on T+2, or otherwise the client may not be allowed to create new positions.


Example 1

End of Day (T): Margin call amount of the day is Bt 180,000.
Day T+1: Customer does not add more money or close some / all positions
End of Day (T+1): The Margin call amount increase to Bt 240,000.
Day T+2: The force closeout amount shall be Bt 240,000, to be done by 10:45 hrs.

Example 2

End of Day (T) : Margin call amount the day is for Bt 180,000.
Day T+1 : Customer does not add more money or close some/all positions
End of Day (T+1): The margin call amount decrease to Bt80,000.
Day T+2: The force closeout amount shall be Bt 80,000, to be done by 10:45 hrs. A margin top-up of Bt 100,000 is still required by Day T+2, otherwise opening new position would not be allowed.
