Exchange Minimum Margin Requirements
XPRESSTRADE'S margin requirements for self-directed traders are identical to those required by the various futures exchanges themselves. In fact, we've built the SPAN computer-based margining system used by the exchanges to calculate minimum margin requirements right into the XPRESSTRADE system. By doing soand by downloading updated SPAN files directly from the exchanges each eveningwe've ensured that our system automatically charges current exchange-minimum margins. How do you know what the margin requirement is for a certain position? Simple! Our Margin Calculator enables you to instantaneously calculate margin requirements on existing and theoretical positions! It's fast, it's easy to use, and it removes the guesswork. You'll also notice that our Quick Quote feature shows you at a glance what the margin requirement is on the contract you've selected. And on the public side of our website, our Margin Table gives you a one-page list of margin requirements on every contract available for trading through XPRESSTRADE. All of this information is always current, and it's at your disposal.
