Maintenance margin requirements - 12/06/17 19:52
Hello,
I'm trying to understand where I can define maintenance margin requirements. I found in the manual that it is controlled by MarginVal that is received from a broker. If your (Equity - MarginVal) <= 0 then margin call.
If broker doesn't provide MarginVal then MarginTotal is used. But how MarginTotal is calculated.
I have an example:
I want to use leverage = 1.5
Initial margin requirement = 50%
Maintenance margin requirement = 30%
How to provide Zorro with above-mentioned values?
Thank you!
