IHI's margin requirements are the most advantageous in the industry, the company runs a flexible margin system, enabling the client to set up his margin policy from different leverages as 1:1, 50:1, 100:1, 200:1, and 400:1
Working on a standard basis margin can go down to $250 per lot on all instruments. Equivalent to approximately 0.25% margin or 400:1 leverage.
Working on a mini basis margin can go down to $25 per lot on all instruments. Equivalent to approximately 0.25% margin or 400:1 leverage.
IHI is able to maintain these low margin requirements by enabling automatic liquidation of positions once a margin call is reached. This policy also provides the protection of client account balances in the event of rapid price movements.
A margin call is reached if a client's account equity falls below the required margin. For example, when working on standard basis, if a client has 10 lots of open positions a margin call will occur if account equity drops below $2,500. At this point, some, or all of the client's open positions will be closed immediately at current prices.
Traders are also able to monitor both usable margin and used margin in real-time directly from the platform. Positions will be automatically closed once usable margin drops below zero.
IHI encourages clients to avoid margin calls by either using stop loss orders or maintaining adequate funds on the account relative to position size.
