Initial margin
The initial margins listed below are the collateral per contract which you must have in your account to open a position.
Maintenance margin
Futures contracts are traded on margin enabling you to leverage a small margin deposit for a much greater market effect.
You must maintain the Maintenance Margins listed below per contract in your account at all times. If the funds in your account fall below this margin, you will be subject to a margin call to either deposit more funds to cover your positions or close positions - normally you will be notified through our trading platform. If your margin situation is not remedied, we may close positions on your behalf.
Support for orders
Various orders are supported depending on the market place on which the contract is negotiated. The available order types are indicated in the contract specifications.
Futures expiry
Please note that Synthesis Bank does not support physical delivery of the underlying security upon expiry of a futures contract. We therefore advise you to be aware of the expiry and first notice dates of any futures contracts you invest in and ensure that you close your position before this date. If you do not close a futures position before its expiry or first notice date, Synthesis Bank will close your position for you at the first available opportunity at the prevailing market rate. Any resulting costs, gains or losses will be passed on to you.
Expiry dates are stated in the contract specifications listed below; you can open them by placing your cursor on the contract.
If you require any assistance or clarification regarding the expiry of futures contracts, please contact Synthesis Bank.
