We apologise for any inconvenience caused.Margin RequirementsPlease note that due to recent instability in financial markets and the fact that the Hong Kong Dollar is a fixed currency, we will be increasing the required margin for USD/HKD and HKD/JPY.Initially the margin requirement will be increased from 1% to 2%, but please be aware that it may be increased further in the future. We will, of course, provide ample notice of any future increases.While this does not affect the cost of trading, higher margin requirements may result in some of your positions being liquidated if you do not maintain a sufficient level of margin on your account. To avoid this happening, please be sure to check any open positions in these two currency pairs and either reduce the size of your positions or add extra funds to your account.Also, please be advised that Guaranteed Stops on new positions in USD/HKD will not be allowed and the minimum non-guaranteed Stop distance from market levels will be increased to 1%. Guaranteed Stops on positions opened before this date will remain at the level you chose, but any editing of the Stop will be from a minimum of 1% from market.We will also no longer be able to offer reduced margin requirements on USD/HKD trades with non-guaranteed Stops.We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, should you have any questions about margin requirements, or any other aspect of trading, please don’t hesitate to contact us.Live PricesIt is important that you (hereinafter “Client”) take special note of the matters listed in this Statement with respect to the practice of CFD Trading including Foreign Exchange Margin Trading (hereinafter “CFD Trading”).
