Margins Explanation: (Maintenance vs. Day Trading)
Maintenance Margin is set by the exchange. This is the amount required to carry a contract past the daily close.
Day Trading Margin is set by AMP Global. Day Trade Margin is solely the amount required to enter into a position per contract on an intraday day basis. It is NOT the risk liquidation trigger nor the maximum amount your account can lose.
Day Trading Margins are in effect anytime the market is open (both Day and Overnight Trading Sessions), except the last 15 minutes of each trading session. AMP Global requests that you either flatten open positions or meet the exchange required maintenance margin 5 minutes before the daily close.
Margins are subject to change at any time without prior notice.
The Maximum Position Limit for symbol MES, MNQ, MYM and M2K is 500 contracts.
Until further notice, we will be setting the US Equity Indices Margins to 25% during the US Overnight Session (starting at 5pm CST) until shortly after the following listed U.S. Economic New Releases - Please Read Full Details >>
