Hi, I am starting to trade futures with Edge Clear using Teton routing. When testing a live trade with 1 micro GBP futures contract and 1 micro EUR futures contract, the Margin requirement shown in Trade Positions window is 59USD and 55USD respectively. However, these values should be above 200 USD in both cases. When I check at Edge Clear customer portal, I see Initial margin 479 USD, maintenance 435 USD, which checks out. Could you please point me to the right direction to solve this? Thank you. |

Contact your broker about this. They will look into the margin percentages they have set for your account. We can indirectly and precisely determine that they set your account to 25% margins for the Micro GBP product. You can find the margin rates here: https://www.cmegroup.com/clearing/margins/outright-vol-scans.html#sortField=exchange&sortAsc=true&exchange=CME§or=FX&clearingCode=M6B&pageNumber=1 You can also do trading on the Simulated Futures Trading service: Simulated Futures Trading Service: Introduction And see the actual margin so long as you do not change them from 100%. You will actually see 110% since the initial margin is used. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Actually before we forget, you are able to see the actual margin in the Trade >> Trade Accounts Monitor. The field is Full Margin and is documented here: Trade Account and Risk Management: Margin Requirement Full (Read Only) (Internal Values) So this is something very unique to the Teton service. No one else offers this. Although thinking about it, this field is for all positions in total. Internally the system does track the full margin, for the individual positions but it is not something that is passed through to Sierra Chart.
