Initial Margin and Maintenance Margin
An upfront deposit in good funds of an initial margin for the trading of futures/options contracts is required. If the account's equity falls below the maintenance margin level, it will trigger a margin call. You are then required to top up to the initial margin level regardless of whether you have received any notification. For options contracts, the maintenance margin is the same as the initial margin.

The risk of trading futures and options: The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or options is substantial. In some circumstances, you may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily avoid loss. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore study and understand futures contracts and options before you trade and carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in the light of your own financial position and investment objectives. If you trade options you should inform yourself of exercise and expiration procedures and your rights and obligations upon exercise or expiry.
