Margin requirements affect how and when you can borrow, the type of deposits which may be needed and the level of equity that you must manage in your account. Failure to meet these requirements will result in becoming subject to liquidation of assets, either manual or automated, to bring the account back into margin compliance.

Margin requirements are based on your Country of legal residence, the exchange where you want to trade and the product(s) you want to trade.
