Margin

Introduction to Margin: Margin Accounts

We offer a cash account which requires enough cash in the account to cover transaction plus commissions, and two types of margin accounts: Reg T Margin and Portfolio Margin. New customers must select an account type during the application process and can upgrade or downgrade their account type at any time.

A Portfolio Margin account can provide lower margin requirements than a Reg T Margin account. However, for a portfolio with concentrated risk, the requirements under Portfolio Margin may be greater than those under Reg T, as the true economic risk behind the portfolio may not be adequately accounted for under static Reg T calculations. Customers can compare their current Reg T margin requirements for their portfolio with those current projected under Portfolio Margin rules by clicking the Try PM button from the Account Window in Trader Workstation (demo or customer account).

Requirements and supported products for each of these accounts are detailed in the Account Types section on the Choosing and Configuring Your Account page on our website.

Margin has a different meaning for securities versus commodities. For securities, margin is the amount of cash a client borrows. For commodities, margin is the amount of cash a client must put up as collateral to support a futures contract.

Securities Margin Definition

For securities, the definition of margin includes three important concepts: the Margin Loan, the Margin Deposit and the Margin Requirement. The Margin Loan is the amount of money that an investor borrows from his broker to buy securities. The Margin Deposit is the amount of equity contributed by the investor toward the purchase of securities in a margin account. The Margin Requirement is the minimum amount that a customer must deposit and it is commonly expressed as a percent of the current market value. The Margin Deposit can be greater than or equal to the Margin Requirement. We can express this as an equation:

Margin Loan + Margin Deposit = Market Value of Security
Margin Deposit >= Margin Requirement

Borrowing money to purchase securities is known as "buying on margin". When an investor borrows money from his broker to buy a stock, he must open a margin account with his broker, sign a related agreement and abide by the broker's margin requirements. The loan in the account is collateralized by investor's securities and cash. If the value of the stock drops too much, the investor must deposit more cash in his account, or sell a portion of the stock.

Securities Initial and Maintenance Margin

The Federal Reserve Board and self-regulatory organizations (SROs), such as the New York Stock Exchange and FINRA, have clear rules regarding margin trading. In the United States, the Fed's Regulation T allows investors to borrow up to 50 percent of the price of the securities to be purchased on margin. The percentage of the purchase price of securities that an investor must pay for is called the initial margin. To buy securities on margin, the investor must first deposit enough cash or eligible securities with a broker to meet the initial margin requirement for that purchase.

Once an investor has started buying a stock on margin, the NYSE and FINRA require that a minimum amount of equity be maintained in the investor's margin account. These rules require investors to have at least 25 percent of the total market value of the securities they own in their margin account. This is called the maintenance margin. For market participants identified as pattern day traders, the maintenance margin requirement is a minimum of $25,000 (or 25% of the total market value of the securities, whichever is higher).

When the balance in the margin account falls below the maintenance requirement, the broker can issue a margin call requiring the investor to deposit more cash, or the broker can liquidate the position.

Brokers also set their own minimum margin requirements called "house requirements". Some brokers extend more lenient lending conditions than others and lending terms may also vary from one client to the other but brokers must always operate within the parameters of margin requirements set by regulators.

Not all securities can be bought on margin. Buying on margin is a double-edged sword that can translate into bigger gains or bigger losses. In volatile markets, investors who borrowed from their brokers may need to provide additional cash if the price of a stock drops too much for those who bought on margin or rallies too much for those who shorted a stock. In such cases, brokers are also allowed to liquidate a position, even without informing the investor. Real-time position monitoring is a crucial tool when buying on margin or shorting a stock.

Commodities Margin Definition

Commodities margin is the amount of equity contributed by an investor to support a futures contract. This can be expressed as a simple equation:

Collateral = Amount of Equity Required to Support Futures Contract
Collateral >= Margin Requirement


Margin requirements for futures and futures options are established by each exchange through a calculation algorithm known as SPAN margining. SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) evaluates overall portfolio risk by calculating the worst possible loss that a portfolio of derivative and physical instruments might reasonably incur over a specified time period (typically one trading day.) This is done by computing the gains and losses that the portfolio would incur under different market conditions.  The most important part of the SPAN methodology is the SPAN risk array, a set of numeric values that indicate how a particular contract will gain or lose value under various conditions. Each condition is called a risk scenario. The numeric value for each risk scenario represents the gain or loss that that particular contract will experience for a particular combination of price (or underlying price) change, volatility change, and decrease in time to expiration.

Commodities Initial and Maintenance Margin

Just like securities, commodities have require initial and maintenance margins. These are typically set by the individual exchanges as a percentage of the current value of a futures contract, based on the volatility and price of the contract. The initial margin requirement for a futures contract is the amount of money you must put up as collateral to open position on the contract. To be able to buy a futures contract, you must meet the initial margin requirement, which means that you must deposit or already have that amount of money in your account.

Maintenance margin for commodities is the amount that you must maintain in your account to support the futures contract and represents the lowest level to which your account can drop before you must deposit additional funds. Commodities positions are marked to market daily, with your account adjusted for any profit or loss that occurs. Because the price of underlying commodities fluctuates, it is possible that the value of the commodity may decline to the point at which your account balance falls below the required maintenance margin. If this happens, brokers typically make a margin call, which means you must deposit additional funds to meet the margin requirement.

Real-Time Margining

We uses real-time margining to allow you to see your trading risk at any moment of the day. Our real-time margin system applies margin requirements throughout the day to new trades and trades already on the books and enforces initial margin requirements at the end of the day, with real-time liquidation of positions instead of delayed margin calls. This system allows us to maintain our low commissions because we do not have to spread the cost of credit losses to customers in the form of higher costs.

The Account Window in Trader Workstation (demo or customer account) shows your margin requirements at any time.

Universal AccountSM

Your Universal Account provides you with the ability to trade both securities and commodities/futures and therefore consists of two underlying accounts, a securities account governed by rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a futures account governed by rules of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Whether you have assets in a securities account or in a futures account, your assets are protected by U.S. federal regulations governing how brokers must protect your property and funds. In the securities account, your assets are protected by SEC and SIPC rules. In the IB futures account, your assets are protected by CFTC rules requiring segregation of customer funds. You are also protected by our strong financial position and our conservative risk management philosophy. See our Strength & Security page.

As part of the IB Universal Account service, IB is authorized to automatically transfer funds as necessary between your IB securities account and your IB futures account in order to satisfy margin requirements in either account. You can configure how you want IB to handle the transfer of excess funds between accounts on the Excess Funds Sweep page in Account Management: you can choose to sweep funds to the securities account, to the futures account, or you can choose to not sweep excess funds at all.

Margin Model

Margin requirements are calculated either on a rules basis and/or a risk basis.


Margin Calculation Basis Available Products
Rule-Based Margin System: Predefined and static calculations are applied to each position or predefined groups of positions ("strategies"). Reg T accounts: US stocks, index options, stock options, single stock futures, and mutual funds.
All accounts: Forex; bonds; Canadian, European, and Asian stocks; and Canadian stock options and index options.
Risk-Based Margin System: Exchanges consider the maximum one day risk on all the positions in a complete portfolio, or subportfolio together (for example, a future and all the options delivering that future). Portfolio Margin accounts: US stocks, index options, stock options, single stock futures, and mutual funds.
All accounts: All futures and future options in any account. Non-US/Non-Canadian stock options and index options in any account.

Margin requirements for each underlying are listed on the appropriate exchange site for the contract. A summary of the requirements for the major futures contracts as well as links to the exchange sites are available on the Futures & FOPs tab above.

Supplemental Margin Model

Systems that derive risk-based margin requirements deliver adequate assessments of the risk for complex derivative portfolios under small/moderate move scenarios. Such systems are less comprehensive when considering large moves in the price of the underlying stock or future. We have enhanced the basic exchange margin models with algorithms that consider the portfolio impact of larger moves up 30% (or even higher for extremely volatile stocks). This 'Extreme Margin Model' may increase the margin requirement for portfolios with net short options positions, and is particularly sensitive to short positions in far out-of-the-money options.

If you sell a security short, you must have sufficient equity in your account to cover any fees associated with borrowing the security. If you borrow the security through us, we will borrow the security on your behalf and your account must have sufficient collateral to cover the margin requirements of the short sale.To cover administrative fees and stock borrowing fees, we must post 102% of the value of the security borrowed as collateral with the lender. In instances in which the security shorted is hard to borrow, borrowing fees charged by the lender may be so high (greater than the interest earned) that the short seller must pay additional interest for the privilege of borrowing a security. Customers may view the indicative short stock interest rates for a specific stock through the Short Stock (SLB) Availability tool located in the Tools section of their Account Management page. For more information concerning shorting stocks and associated fees, visit our Stock Shorting page.

  • In the interest of ensuring the continued safety of its clients, IB may modify certain margin policies to adjust for unprecedented volatility in financial markets. The changes will promote reduction of leverage in client portfolios and help ensure that clients' accounts are appropriately capitalized.
  • IB is focused on prudent, realistic, and forward looking approaches to risk management. In order to provide the broadest notification to our clients, we will post announcements to the IB System Status page. We strongly encourage all clients to monitor this web page for advance alerts regarding margin policy changes.
  • Note that the credit check for order entry always considers the initial margin of existing positions. Therefore, although an account may be holding an existing position at 35%, for example, it is the initial margin requirement of that position that is used in the credit check calculation for order acceptance.
  • The market values/prices used to compute the equity or margin requirement in an Interactive account may differ from the price disseminated by exchanges or other market data sources, and may represent Interactive's valuation of the product. Among other things, Interactive may calculate its own index values, Exchange Traded Fund values or derivatives values, and Interactive may value securities or futures or other investment products based on bid price, offer price, last sale price, midpoint or using some other method. Interactive may use a valuation methodology that is more conservative than the marketplace as a whole.

Margin Calculations for Reg T Margin Accounts

IB applies margin calculations to Reg T Margin accounts as follows:

  1. At the time of a trade.
  2. In real-time throughout the trading day.
  3. At the end of the trading day.
  4. Overnight.

One important thing to remember about our margin calculations is that we apply the Regulation T initial margin requirement at the end of the trading day (3:50 PM) as part of our Special Memorandum Account (SMA) calculation. At the time of trade and in real time throughout the trading day, we apply our own margin calculations, which are described below.


You can also use the following liquidation calculations:

  1. How to Determine the Last Stock Price Before We Begin to Liquidate the Position?
  2. How Much Stock Do We Liquidate?

You can monitor most of the values used in the calculations described on this page in real time in the Account Window in Trader Workstation. For more information about real-time margin monitoring, click the Real-Time Monitoring link above.

1. Time of Trade Margin Calculations


When you open a new position, we apply the following:

  • Initial Minimum Equity Requirement
  • Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculation
  • Time of Trade Position Leverage Check

Initial Minimum Equity Requirement

You are required to have a minimum of $2,000 or USD equivalent of securities equity with loan value or commodities net liquidation value to open a new position. If you do not meet this initial requirement, you will be unable to open a new position in your Reg T Margin account.


Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculation

Upon submission of an order, a check is made against real-time available funds. If available funds, after the order request, would be greater than or equal to zero, the order is accepted; if available funds would be negative, the order is rejected.

Time of Trade Initial Margin calculations are pictured below. The initial margin used in these calculations is IB's initial margin, which is listed on the product-specific Margin pages.


Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculation

Available Funds > 0
(Available Funds = Securities Equity with Loan Value - Initial Margin Requirement)
Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

Commodities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculation

Available Funds > 0
(Available Funds = Commodities Net Liquidation Value - Initial Margin Requirement as set by the exchange)
Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

Time of Trade Position Leverage Check

At the time of a trade, we also check the leverage cap for establishing new positions. The leverage limitation is a house margin requirement that limits the risk associated with the close-out of large positions held on margin. We perform the following calculation to ensure that the Gross Position Value is not more than 30 times the Net Liquidation Value minus the futures options value:

Securities Gross Position Value <= 30 * (Net Liquidation Value - Futures Options Value)

If the result of this calculation is true, then you have not exceeded the leverage cap for establishing new positions. If the trade would put your account over the leverage cap (that is, the calculation is not true), then the order will not be accepted.


Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

2. Real-Time Margin Calculations


Throughout the trading day, we apply the following calculations to your account in real-time:

  • Real-Time Maintenance Margin Calculation
  • Real-Time Position Leverage Check
  • Real-Time Cash Leverage Check
  • Decreased Marginability Calculations
  • Real-Time SMA Calculation
  • Soft Edge Margining

Real-Time Maintenance Margin Calculation

IB's Real-Time Maintenance Margin calculations is pictured below. The maintenance margin used in these calculations is IB's maintenance margin requirement, which is listed on the product-specific Margin pages. In the calculations below, "Excess Liquidity" refers to excess maintenance margin equity.

Securities Real-Time Maintenance Margin Calculation

Excess Liquidity >= 0
(Excess Liquidity= Securities Equity with Loan Value - Maintenance Margin Requirement
)
Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

Commodities Real-Time Maintenance Margin Calculation

Excess Liquidity >= 0
(Excess Liquidity= Commodities Net Liquidation Value - Maintenance Margin Requirement
)
Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

In addition, any account that has a negative cash balance on a trade date or settlement date basis will be liquidated. It should be noted whereas futures settle each night, futures options are generally treated on a premium style basis, which means that they will not settle until the options are sold or expire. Therefore, for certain combination futures and futures options positions, there may be a mismatch in cash flows which could cause cash to go negative even though Net Liquidation Value is positive. In addition, there are a handful of options where local custom is to cash settle the option each night at the clearing house (e.g. HKFE HSI Options), but we may choose to margin these options on a premium style basis.

Real-Time Gross Position Leverage Check

There is a real-time check on overall position leverage to ensure that the Gross Position Value is not more than 50 times the Net Liquidation Value minus the futures options value. The leverage limitation is a house margin requirement that limits the risk associated with the close-out of large positions held on margin. The calculation can be expressed as:

Securities Gross Position Value <= 50 * (Net Liquidation Value - Futures Options Value)

If the result of this calculation is not true, positions may be liquidated to reduce the Gross Position Leverage.

Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

Real-Time Cash Leverage Check

An additional leverage check on cash is made to ensure that the total FX settlement value is no more than 250 times the Net Liquidation Value as follows:

Total Settlement Value of All Unsettled FX Trades <= 250 * (Net Liquidation Value)

If the result of this calculation is not true, account liquidation may occur.

Securities Time of Trade Initial Margin Calculations

Decreased Marginability Calculations

IB reduces the marginability of stocks for accounts holding concentrated positions relative to the shares outstanding (SHO) of a company. For Reg T accounts, this algorithm increases the margin requirement for stock positions exceeding 1% of the published SHO from its default to 100% (in other words, decreases the amount of money that can be borrowed against a stock position toward zero). At 5% concentration, positions have a 100% margin requirement.

Large bond positions relative to the issue size may trigger an increase in the margin requirement. The review of bond marginability is done periodically to consider redemptions and calls, as well as other factors, which may affect the remaining liquidity of the particular bond instrument. Less liquid bonds are given less favorable margin treatment.


Soft Edge Margining

IB will automatically liquidate when an account falls below the minimum margin requirement. However, to allow a customer the ability to manage risk prior to an IB-initated liquidation, we calculate Soft Edge Margin (SEM) during the trading day. From the start of the trading day until 15 minutes before the close of the trading day, Soft Edge Margin allows for an account's margin deficit to be within a specified percentage of the account's Net Liquidation Value, currently 10%. When SEM ends, the full maintenance requirement must be met. When SEM is not applicable, the account must meet 100% of maintenance margin.

Soft Edge Margin start time of a contract is the latest of:

  • the market open, the latest open time if listed on multiple exchanges;
  • or the start of liquidation hours

Soft Edge Margin end time of a contract is the earliest of:

  • 15 minutes before market close, the earliest close time if listed on multiple exchanges;
  • or 15 minutes before the end of liquidation hours;
  • or the start of Reg T enforcement time.

If an account falls below the miniumum maintenance margin, it will not be automatically liquidated until the it falls below the Soft Edge Margin. This allows a customer's account to be in margin violation for a short period of time. Soft Edge Margin is not displayed in Trader Workstation. Once the account falls below SEM however, it is then required to meet full maintenance margin.

Please note that IB reserves the right to restrict soft edge access on any given day, and may eliminate SEM completely in times of heightened volatility.

3. SMA and End of Day Calculations


Real-Time SMA

On a real-time basis, we check the balance of a special account associated with your Reg T Margin account called the Special Memorandum Account (SMA). We calculate a running balance of your SMA throughout the trading day, then enforce Regulation T initial margin requirements at the end of the trading day. No cash withdrawal will be allowed that causes SMA to go negative on a real-time basis.


End of Day SMA

As described above, we calculate SMA in real time throughout the trading day, but we enforce Regulation T initial margin requirements (typically 50% for stocks or 100% for nonmarginable securities) at the end of the trading day. Whenever you have a position change on a trading day, we check the balance of your SMA at the end of the US trading day (15:50-17:20 ET), to ensure that it is greater than or equal to zero.

We use the following calculation to check your SMA balance in real time and apply Regulation T initial margin requirements to securities that can be purchased on margin. Note that this is the same SMA calculation that is used throughout the trading day. In the first calculation, "today's trades initial margin requirements" are added for SELL orders and subtracted for BUY orders, and are based on US Regulation T Initial Margin requirements.

SMA = ((Prior Day SMA +/- Change in Day's Cash +/- Today's Trades Initial Margin Requirements)
or
(Equity with Loan Value - Reg T Margin))

whichever is greater
End of SMA

If the SMA balance at the end of the trading day is negative, your account is subject to liquidation.


SMA Rules

SMA is calculated based on the following rules:

  • Cash deposits are credited to SMA.
  • Cash withdrawals are debited from SMA.
  • Dividends are credited to SMA.
  • Trades are netted on a per contract per day basis.
    • Realized pnl, i.e. day trading pnl are posted to SMA.
    • Commission and tax are debited from SMA.
    • All trades (one per contract) are posted to the portfolio at the end of the trading day, if RegTMargin of the portfolio increases, the increased amount is debited from SMA, if RegTMargin of the portfolio decreases, the decreased amount is credited to SMA. The current price of the underlying, if needed, is used in this calculation.
    • Option sales proceeds are credited to SMA.
    • Premiums for options purchased are debited from SMA.

      The change to SMA resulting from trades is effectively the change in RegTEquity minus the change in RegTMargin.
  • Universal transfers are treated the same way cash deposits and withdrawals are treated.
  • Market appreciation: If RegTExcess of a margin account is greater than SMA at the close (normally 16:00 US/Eastern), SMA is set to equal to RegTExcess. Note that SMA balance will never decrease because of market movements. RegTExcess = 0 or (RegTEquity - RegTMargin), whichever is greater.
  • Currency trades do not affect SMA.
  • Fees, such as order cancellation fee, market data fee, etc. do not affect SMA.
  • Exercises and assignments (EA) are reported to the credit manager when we receive reports from clearing houses. They will be treated as trades on that day. For example, on expiration, we receive EA notices on the weekend; these trades have Friday as trade date in the clearing system, but they will be treated as Monday's trade for SMA purposes by the credit manager. Exercise requests do not change SMA. DVP transactions are treated as trades.

4. Overnight Margin Calculations


Stocks and futures have additional margin requirements when held overnight. For overnight margin requirements for stocks, click the Stocks tab above. Futures margin requirements are determined by each exchange and can change frequently. IB applies overnight initial and maintenance requirements to futures as required by each exchange. For more information, click the Futures tab above.

5. How to Determine the Last Stock Price Before We Begin to Liquidate the Position?


Use the following series of calculations to determine the last stock price of a position before we begin to liquidate that position. Note that this calculation applies only to single stock positions.

How to Determine the Last Stock Price Before We Begin to Liquidate the Position
To see an example click the Examples link at top of page.

6. How Much Stock Do We Liquidate?


As shown on the Margin Calculations page, we calculate the amount of Excess Liquidity (margin excess) in your Reg T Margin account in real time. If your Excess Liquidity balance is less than zero, we will liquidate positions in your account to bring the Excess Liquidity balance up to at least zero.

You can use the following calculation to determine how much stock equity we will liquidate in your Reg T Margin account to bring your Excess Liquidity balance back to zero. Note that this calculation applies only to stocks.

How much stock do we liquidate
To see an example click the Examples link at top of page.
  • Note that the credit check for order entry always considers the initial margin of existing positions. Therefore, although an account may be holding an existing position at 35%, for example, it is the initial margin requirement of that position that is used in the credit check calculation for order acceptance.
  • IB Japan margin accounts are not subject to US Regulation T margin requirements, which IB enforces at the end of the trading day.

  1. All liquidations are subject to the normal commission schedule. Advisor clients will not be subject to advisor fees for any liquidating transaction.
  2. Calculated at the end of the day under US margin rules.
  3. Initial margin requirements calculated under US Regulation T rules. You can find these requirements by using our Contract Search feature to find a specific symbol, then drilling down to the details.
  4. Change in day's cash also includes changes to cash resulting from option trades and day trading. Changes in cash resulting from other trades are not included.

Margin Examples

Example: Securities Margin Example

The following table shows an example of a typical sequence of trading events involving securities and how they affect a Regulation T (Reg T) Margin Account.[1]


Day 1: Deposit $10,000.00 Cash in Margin Account.
After the deposit, account values look like this:
Cash = $10,000.00
Securities Market Value = $0.00 No positions held
Equity with Loan Value (ELV) = $10,000.00 Total cash value + stock value + bond value + fund value + European & Asian options value
IB Initial Margin = $0.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin (MM) = $0.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $10,000.00 ELV - IM
Excess Liquidity $10,000.00 ELV - MM

Day 1: End of Day SMA Calculation
Reg T Margin = $0.00 Reg T Margin = 50% * Stock Value
SMA = $10,000.00 (Prior Day SMA +/- Change in Day's Cash
+/- Today's Trades Reg T Initial Margin)
or
(Equity with Loan Value - Reg T Margin)
whichever is greater
SMA >= 0 SMA Requirement Satisfied, NO liquidation

Day 2: Customer BUYS 500 shares of XYZ stock at $40.00/share. Total Amount = $20,000.00. After the trade, account values look like this:
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $20,000.00
Equity with Loan Value = $10,000.00
IB Initial Margin = $5,000.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $5,000.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $5,000.00 ELV-IM
Available Funds were >=0 at the time of the trade, so the trade was submitted.
Excess Liquidity $5,000.00 ELV - MM

Day 2: End of Day SMA Calculation
Reg T Margin = $10,000.00 RegT Margin = 50% * Stock Value
SMA = $0.00 ($10,000.00 – $0.00 – $10,000.00)
or
($10,000.00 – $10,000.00)
Whichever is greater
SMA >= 0 SMA Requirement Satisfied, NO liquidation

Day 3: First, the price of XYZ rises to 45.00/share. Account values now look like this:
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $22,500.00
Equity with Loan Value = $12,500.00
IB Initial Margin = $5,625.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $5,625.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $6,875.00 ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity $6,875.00 ELV - MM
Excess Liquidity >=0, so NO LIQUIDATION occurs.

Day 3: Then the price of XYZ falls to $35.00/share. Account values now look like this:
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $17,500.00
Equity with Loan Value = $7,500.00
IB Initial Margin = $4,375.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $4,375.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $3,125.00 ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity $3,125.00 ELV - MM

Day 3: End of Day SMA Calculation
Reg T Margin = $8,750.00 RegT Margin = 50% * Stock Value
SMA = $0.00 ($0.00 +/– $0.00 + $0.00)
or
($7,500.00 – $8,750.00)
Whichever is greater
SMA >= 0 SMA Requirement Satisfied, NO liquidation

Day 4: Customer SELLS 500 shares of XYZ at $45.00/share. Total Amount = $22,500.00. After the trade, account values look like this:
Cash = $12,500.00
Securities Market Value = $0.00 Positions no longer held.
Equity with Loan Value = $12,500.00
IB Initial Margin = $0.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $0.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $12,500.00 ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity $12,500.00 ELV - MM

Day 4: End of Day SMA Calculation
Reg T Margin = $0.00 RegT Margin = 50% * Stock Value
SMA = $12,500.00 ($0.00 +/– $0.00 + $11,250.00)
or
($12,500.00 – $0.00)
Whichever is greater
SMA >= 0 SMA Requirement Satisfied, NO liquidation

Day 5: Customer attempts to BUY 500 shares of ABC stock at $101.00/share. Total Amount = $50,500.00. Account values at the time of the attempted trade would look like this:
Cash = $12,500.00
Securities Market Value = $0.00
Equity with Loan Value = $12,500.00
IB Initial Margin = $12,625.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $12,625.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = ($125.00) ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity ($125.00) ELV - MM
Available Funds <=0, so the trade is Rejected.

Day 5: Later on Day 5, the customer buys some stock.
Customer BUYS 300 shares of ABC stock at $100.00/share. Total Amount = $30,000.00. After the trade, account values look like this:
Cash = ($17,500.00)
Securities Market Value = $30,000.00
Equity with Loan Value = $12,500.00
IB Initial Margin = $7,500.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $7,500.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = $5,000.00 ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity $5,000.00 ELV - MM

Day 5: End of Day SMA Calculation
Reg T Margin = $15,000.00 RegT Margin = 50% * Stock Value
SMA = -$2,500.00 ($12,500 +/– $0.00 – $15,000.00)
or
($12,500.00 – $15,000.00)
Whichever is greater
SMA = ($2,500.00) which is < 0 Shares are Liquidated.

Day 5: Consider an alternate Day 5 scenario in which the price of ABC stock drops.
Price of ABC stock drops to $75.00/share. Account values would now look like this:
Cash = ($17,500.00)
Securities Market Value = $22,500.00
Equity with Loan Value = $5,000.00
IB Initial Margin = $5,625.00 IM = 25% * Stock Value
Maintenance Margin = $5,625.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Available Funds = ($625.00) ELV-IM
Excess Liquidity ($625.00) ELV - MM
Excess Liquidity < 0, so shares will be Liquidated.

Example: Commodities Margin Example

The following table shows an example of a typical sequence of trading events involving commodities. Although our Universal Account automatically transfers funds between the securities and commodities segments of the account, to simplify the following example, we will assume that the cash in the account remains in the Commodities segment of the account.

Example: How to Determine the Last Stock Price Before We Begin to Liquidate the Position

For example, suppose a customer buys 2,000 shares of ABC stock at $10.00/share on margin. The loan amount in this case is $10,000.00, so the calculations would be: (1)


1. Customer deposits $10,000 in Reg T Margin account.
Cash = $10,000.00
Securities Market Value = $0.00
Equity with Loan Value = $10,000.00
Maintenance Margin = $0.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity $10,000.00 ELV - MM

2. Customer buys $20,000.00 of ABC stock (2,000 shares at $10.00/share)
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $20,000.00
Equity with Loan Value = $10,000.00
Maintenance Margin = $5,000.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity $5,000.00 ELV - MM

3. The price of ABC begins to drop.
Determine the last stock price of ABC before we begin to liquidate the position:
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $13,333.33
Equity with Loan Value = $3,333.33
Maintenance Margin = $3,333.33 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity = $0.00 ELV - MM
Price = ($10,000 / 2,000) / (.75) = $6.6667(2)

Example: How Much Stock Do We Liquidate?

In the following example, a customer buys stock, but then the price of the stock drops enough to bring the Excess Liquidity balance below zero, prompting liquidation.


1. Customer deposits $10,000 in Reg T Margin account.
Cash = $10,000.00
Securities Market Value = $0.00
Equity with Loan Value (ELV) = $10,000.00
Maintenance Margin (MM) = $0.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity $10,000.00 ELV - MM

2. Customer buys $20,000.00 of ABC stock (2,000 shares at $10.00/share)
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $20,000.00
Equity with Loan Value = $10,000.00
Maintenance Margin = $5,000.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity $5,000.00 ELV - MM

3. The price of ABC drops to $6.00/share
Cash = ($10,000.00)
Securities Market Value = $12,000.00
Equity with Loan Value = $2,000.00
Maintenance Margin = $3,000.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity -$1,000.00 ELV - MM
Excess Liquidity is now < 0, so positions will be liquidated to bring Excess Liquidity back to at least zero.

4. Determine the liquidation amount using the calculation listed above:
Liquidation Amount = $1,000.00 * 4
= $4,000.00

5. After liquidation, the customer's account balances look like this:
Cash = ($6,000.00) Original $10,000.00 loan – Liquidation Amount
Securities Market Value = $8,000.00 $12,000.00 Market Value – Liquidation Amount
Equity with Loan Value = $2,000.00
Maintenance Margin = $2,000.00 MM = 25% * Stock Value
Excess Liquidity $0.00 ELV - MM
Note that this ONLY brings the Excess Liquidity balance back to zero. Depositing more than this amount will provide the ability to open additional positions and/or a cushion to prevent further liquidation.
  1. The example uses Initial and Maintenance Margins of 25%. These percentages are used for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect current Interactive Brokers margin rates.
  2. Using a margin requirement of 25%, the account would become subject to liquidation at a price of (Cash Borrowed / # of Shares) / (1 – margin rate). Using the values in the above example, the account would become subject to liquidation when the price falls to (10,000 / 2,000) / (1 - .25), or $6.6667.

Real-time Monitoring

Unlike other brokers who calculate margin only at the end of the trading day, IB provides real-time data that gives you the edge you need to react quickly to the markets. The Margin Requirements section of the Account window allows you to understand your trading risk at any moment of the day by calculating requirements for initial margin (at the time of the trade) and maintenance margin (when holding positions) on a real time basis.

For more information regarding any of the real-time monitoring features mentioned here, see the TWS Users' Guide.


The TWS Account Window

The Account window in Trader Workstation lets you monitor every aspect of your account activity, including the values used in IB's margin calculations. We present key account values as the default when you first open the Account window, and you can expand each section of the Account window to display all values.

The Account window displays real-time values, including those listed below.

Balances

Margin What-Ifs

Margin scenarios provide the margin implications of any transaction before transmitting an order. From the trading window, right click any order row and select Preview Order/Check Margin. Commission for the trade is also displayed.


Note:

This portfolio margin estimate is by way of example only based on current margin requirements. The margin estimate we are providing you does not represent a specific agreement to provide these margin terms and is not a guarantee or warranty that your account will be margined in the manner described in this margin estimate. Please note that margin terms are subject to change at any time, including between now and when you open your account or transfer positions to Interactive. Among other things, IB just like other brokers, can increase its "house" maintenance margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you with advance written notice.


Margin Warnings

IB will automatically liquidate when the account falls below the minimum maintenance margin requirement. To help avoid this scenario, TWS provides pop-up warning messages and color-coded account information as a notification that you are approaching a margin deficiency. This allows you to take action such as entering margin-reducing trades instead of risking liquidations.

To help customers monitor margin deficiencies, TWS displays color-coded messages on the Account Screen and pop-up warning messages to notify customers that they are approaching their margin limits. This feature allows you to take action, such as entering margin-reducing trades, to avoid having IB liquidate your positions. The colors on the Account screen convey the following information at a glance:


Yellow - You have only a 5% cushion above the margin requirement.

Orange - Your margin cushion is depleted and you have a short time to enter into margin-reducing trades before IB begins to liquidate your positions. During this time you should be able to enter a trade that will decrease your margin requirement, but not increase.

Red - IB will shortly start to liquidate positions as necessary to bring your account back within the margin limits.

Margin Reports

Margin reports show margin requirements for single and combination positions, and display both available and excess liquidity. Each day at 16:15 ET we record your margin and equity information across all asset classes and exchanges.

You can access your margin reports under the Margin Report menu item (Report Management) within Account Management. Here is an example of a portion of a margin report.

US Stocks

The following table lists margin calculations for Reg T Margin, Cash and Reg T Margin - IRA Accounts. See our Portfolio Margin page for US Stock requirements in a Portfolio Margin account.

The NYSE and FINRA have imposed rules to limit small investor day trading. Customers that these organizations classify as Pattern Day Traders are subject to special Day Trading Restrictions for US securities.

The following table shows stock margin requirements for initial (at the time of trade), maintenance (when holding positions), and Overnight Reg T (Regulatory End of Day Requirement) time periods.

These formulas make use of the functions Maximum (x, y, ..), Minimum (x, y, ..) and If (x, y, z). The Maximum function returns the greatest value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Maximum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value 2000. The Minimum function returns the least value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Minimum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value of 500. The If function checks a condition and if true uses formula y and if false formula z. As an example If (20 < 0, 30, 60) would return the value 60.

Special Margin Stocks


IB may reduce the collateral value of securities (reduces marginability) for a variety of reasons, including:

  • small market capitalization or small issue size
  • low liquidity in the collective primary/secondary exchanges
  • involvement in tenders and other corporate action

Changes in marginability are generally considered for a specific security. However, in cases of concerns about the viability or liquidity of a company, marginability reductions will apply to all securities issued by, or related to, the affected company, including bonds, derivatives, depository receipts, etc.

See the section on Decreased Marginability Calculations on the Margin Calculations page for information about large position and position concentration algorithms that may affect the margin rate applied to a given security within an account and may vary between accounts.

US Options

The following calculations apply only to Reg T, Reg T Margin - IRA and Cash Accounts. See our Portfolio Margin page for US Options requirements in a Portfolio Margin account.

FINRA and the NYSE have imposed rules to limit small investor day trading. Customers that these organizations classify as Pattern Day Traders are subject to Day Trading Restrictions for US Securities.

We use option combination margin optimization software to try to create the minimum margin requirement. However, due to the system requirements required to determine the optimal solution, we cannot always guarantee the optimal combination in all cases.

Please note that we do not support option exercises, assignments or deliveries which may result in an account being non-compliant with margin requirements. For additional information about the handling of options on expiration Friday, click here (Knowledgebase Article http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/1767).

These formulas make use of the functions Maximum (x, y, ..), Minimum (x, y, ..) and If (x, y, z). The Maximum function returns the greatest value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Maximum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value 2000. The Minimum function returns the least value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Minimum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value of 500. The If function checks a condition and if true uses formula y and if false formula z. As an example If (20 < 0, 30, 60) would return the value 60.

  • Specific options with commodity-like behavior, such as VIX Index Options, have special spread rules and, consequently, may be required to meet higher margin requirements than a straightforward US equity option. Clients are urged to use the paper trading account to simulate an options spread in order to check the current margin on such spread.
  • If a combination of options is put on in such a way that a specific strategy is optimal at that point in time, the strategy may remain in place until the account is revalued even if it does not remain the optimal strategy. A revaluation will occur when there is a position change within that symbol. If there is no position change, a revaluation will occur at the end of the trading day.

  1. Minimum charge of USD 2.50 per share of underlying. This minimum does not apply for End of Day Reg T calculation purposes.
  2. For Leverage Options, Minimum (20% * Leverage Factor, 100%).
  3. For Leverage Options, Minimum (15% * Leverage Factor, 100%)
  4. For Covered Basket Calls, (short basket call, long component stocks), the margin requirement is for all the component stocks.

These formulas make use of the functions Maximum (x, y, ..), Minimum (x, y, ..) and If (x, y, z). The Maximum function returns the greatest value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Maximum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value 2000. The Minimum function returns the least value of all parameters separated by commas within the paranthesis. As an example, Minimum (500, 2000, 1500) would return the value of 500. The If function checks a condition and if true uses formula y and if false formula z. As an example If (20 < 0, 30, 60) would return the value 60.

The following table shows option margin requirements for each type of margin combination.

Non-US/Non-Canadian Options Margin Requirements

Margin requirements are determined by risk based portfolio analysis models specified by each exchange. For specific details, visit the specific exchange site in question. US Reg T Margin requirements are also applied at the end of each trading day. For more information, see the US Stock and Index Options tab above.

For Australian single stock options, we apply US rule-based and Reg T margin requirements.

Futures

Futures margin requirements are based on risk-based algorithms. All margin requirements are expressed in the currency of the traded product and can change frequently.

Risk-based margin algorithms define a standard set of market outcome scenarios with a one-day time horizon. A price scanning range is defined for each product by the respective clearing house.

In addition to the exchange scanning ranges, we will consider additional scenarios which incorporate extreme moves in the underlying. Accordingly, we may require margin over and above the exchange-mandated margin on short options in order to account for the risk inherent in an extreme market move. You can view the current projected margin requirements on a specific option or futures order that you are considering before you submit the order by creating the order in TWS and using the right-click menu to "Check Margin" before you transmit.

Note that for commodities including futures, single-stock futures and futures options, margin is the amount of cash a client must put up as collateral to support a futures contract. For securities, margin is the amount of cash a client borrows.

Please see the following special articles and links, which describe important information on futures/options risk management and financial controls:
