You receive this statement via email on every trading day. It helps you track whether your margins are sufficient or if you need to add funds to avoid penalties.

What it includes

  • Deposited margins — funds you've transferred and any pledged collaterals.

  • Blocked margins — margins currently held against your open positions.

  • Required margins — the minimum margin needed for your positions.

  • Free margins — the balance available for placing new trades.

  • Margin shortfall — if your margins fall short, this shows the gap so you can avoid penalties.
