Clients can opt-in to have all their free cash available to be used to cover variation margin requirements for their futures positions. This reduces the likelihood of liquidations but increases your potential total losses up to your entire available Free Cash.
To request to Opt-In, you will need to login to the Client Portal and select Settings, then select “BaFin Futures for German Retail Investor” and follow the prompts. This will allow you to complete the agreement and confirm the request.
