The margin requirement offered on Index Futures CFDs is dynamic and adapts automatically based on the volume traded on each instrument. Consequently, as the trading volume per instrument increases, the margin requirement also increases, corresponding to the dynamic margin value specific to each instrument.
It is important to note that margin calculations are done per instrument traded. So, when a client has open positions on multiple instruments, the margin is calculated separately on each.
The following table illustrates the calculation process for dynamic margin:
| Open Lots | Margin Requirement |
| 0.01 - 24.99 | $2,500 |
| 25 - 49.99 | $5,000 |
| 50 - 74.99 | $7,500 |
| 75 - 99.99 | $10,000 |
| 100 and above | $20,000 |
