Trade with easy margin requirements with K.O.K Markets

At K.O.K Markets, we offer the most competitive margins across the entire range of assets. To trade seamlessly and keep your positions open, make sure you maintain the minimum required funds in your trading account.

Types of Margin
Understanding the margin requirements can help you make informed trading decisions. There are two types of margins to keep in mind.

Initial Margin

This is the minimum amount of funds required in your trading account to open a trading position.

Maintenance Margin

This is the funds you need to maintain in your trading account to keep positions open as the asset price fluctuates. This is especially important when the market moves against you.

How to Calculate Your Margin Requirement

The amount that you will need to maintain in your account will depend on the leverage you choose, your position size, the CFD contract size and the asset price at the time of opening the position.

Margin = (Position Size x Contract Size x Opening Price of Asset) / Leverage

Margin Call

When the funds in your trading account fall below the minimum margin level required to keep a position open, you will receive a notification from us to deposit the required funds. This is called a margin call.

With appropriate risk management measures and setting custom alerts, you can ensure that your trading positions don’t get closed out due to a lack of adequate funds.
