Margin and Leverage Options

CMS Forex offers 3 flexible margin requirement options. In an effort to maximize market accessibility while decreasing risk exposure for our clients we have designed a step based margin policy. Though we require a minimal amount of collateral for the first few lots, the more lots you trade at a given time the higher the margin requirement. Under Option 1, the default and most common choice, a margin of $250 per lot is required for your first 3 lots, $500 per lot for the next 7 lots, $1,000 for the next 40 and so on. The following table outlines the 3 Margin requirement options.
