Margin capacity

Margin indicates the level of leverage on which a customer may execute transactions and serves as a credit limit that he may not exceed. On a 1% margin, an account containing USD 50'000 theoretically has the capacity to execute transactions up to USD 5'000'000. In practice, customers should aim for a lower margin utilisation. ACM offers 1% initial margin on both standard and mini accounts. As a service, ACM dealers will attempt to contact customers accustomed to dealing by telephone with the dealing desk whose open positions are close to full margin capacity. All customers are however fully responsible for monitoring the activity on their accounts. ACM is obliged to liquidate all open positions on an account in the event that a negative result on those positions causes the specified 1% margin level to be crossed.

The margin capacity ACM offers reflects our willingness to provide the traders with the level of risk they wish to adopt, we do not however recommend trading with full 1% margin capacity as this engages a large amount of risk. Ultimately the choice is left to the trader to make transactions that meet his/her appetite for risk.

ACM dealers constantly monitor margin levels for customers accustomed to dealing by telephone with the dealing desk. As a service, dealers will attempt to contact such customers whose open positions are close to full margin capacity. All customers are however fully responsible for monitoring the activity on their accounts. In the case that open positions result in excessive margin exposure and attain the allowable limit, the dealer will be obliged to liquidate all open positions in the account.
