Margin Requirement

  1. Initial Margin (IM): The initial deposit of collateral required by a broker/dealer that extends margin or leverage to an investor in order to enter into a position.
  2. Maintenance Margin (MM): The minimum amount of equity that must be maintained in a margin account in order to keep an open position.
  3. Force Close Margin (FM): Open a position in investor’s account is forced to liquidate by SCBS due to the following reasons:
   - Investor doesn't response to the margin call. If the margin call is issued on Day T, investor neither closes open positions nor deposits margin into his/her account in the morning on Day T + 2
   - Low margin: Investor's account equity is lower than 30% of total initial margin due to extreme averse market movement that goes against investor's open positions

      **Outright is a derivatives transaction that long position in one futures contract such as buy (open long) S50H11 1 contract , you have to put initial margin 5,700 baht. (Please notes that initial margin may be changed upon the TFEX announcement.)

      ** Spread is a derivatives transaction consisting of a long position in one futures contract and a short position in one futures contract with the same underlying asset, but different contract month. 1 spread position margin is 25% of 1 contract of outright margin. Initial Margin is calculated from customer’s existing position: The pair futures contract will use the spread position margin, the unpaired futures contract will use outright position margin.
