Hi,

Yesterday, one of my positions was liquidated by the broker, I was surprised because the position was closed at a small loss, and I got charged a liquidation fee. I contacted the broker and found out that they have different margin requirements than those listed on a PDF statement that the broker/clearing firm emails you daily,

On this statement they list a maintenance and initial margin, but they list the exchange margins and not the broker margins, meaning that the broker has different margin requirements. Now unless there is something I missing here, how can they list and initial and maintenance margin that are not the broker's on this statement? Shouldn't I get then a statement from the broker and not from the clearing firm?

I'm at a loss here, have anyone experienced a similar situation before? I mean I get an email daily with wrong statement? Or there is something I'm missing here?

Best.

Just out of curiosity, what is the type of gearing you were using on your account ?
you can reduce it to one contract...
capital in the account per contract traded ?
