Dear Client,
Margin requirements will be adjusted after market close on 26 June, 2015. Margin requirements (per 1K lot) at FXCM are determined by taking a percentage of the notional trade size plus a buffer to help alleviate fluctuations.
See a Complete List of New Margin Requirements
Note: Monitor usable margin closely, making sure it stays above zero. We recommend a usable margin that’s at least 80% of your account equity (usable margin plus used margin).
To increase usable margin, either:
Deposit funds to raise equity
Close open positions or trade smaller lot sizes
Based on price fluctuations, margin requirements are subject to change without notice and adjust in increments of 1 unit, determined by the account denomination (¥100 for JPY accounts). At present, FXCM does not anticipate more than one margin requirement change a month. Up-to-date margin requirements are displayed in the Simplified Dealing Rates window of Trading Station.
Remember that forex and CFD trading can result in losses that could exceed your deposited funds and therefore may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.
If you have any questions, please contact one of our specialists, who are available 24 hours a day, by live chat, by calling 1-212-897-7660, or by e-mail at
