Margins are designed to cover the market risk associated with each participant's position. They are determined using industry-accepted methodologies and designed to provide the desired level of protection to cover market movement on open positions and unsettled operations.

The initial margin represents the amount a client must deposit in his account before entering into position in the market. Maintenance margin is the additional amount to deposit in an account in order to bring it back to the required level following market fluctuations.
