Where can I find out more about non-U.S. margin trading?

Outside of the U.S., margin requirements can vary. When determining global margin requirements, there are three key factors:

  • Where you are a citizen or resident
  • Where you want to trade
  • What products you want to trade.

Most leveraged trading abroad uses some form of a risk-based margin model to determine the risk of your portfolio, as opposed to a rules-based system such as Reg T in the U.S.

The complete margin requirement details are listed within the Margin Trading section of our website.
