The margin for CFD is calculated as the margin ratio at the opening price of the number of contracts, not the leverage ratio based on your real account.
If trading goods in the same direction, the upfront payment ratio needs to be higher than 100%, and if CFDS are used for lock-in transactions, only 50% margin is required.
The above spread conditions apply to all types of HFM accounts
Please note that the platform will not automatically extend the futures contract after it expires.
Since the trading platform cannot trade negative priced financial commodities, when the price of any energy commodity (OIL, OIL Mn, BRENT, GSOIL and NGAS) falls to zero, the company will be forced to liquidate the position at the last market price.
