          Margins

The margin or leverage a client can have depends on the client’s account equity. The table below shows A+T’s margin requirement for the different equity levels.

ACCOUNT EQUITY	INITIAL MARGIN	MAINTENANCE MARGIN
Less than 1′000′000	1% / 100:1	1% / 100:1
1′000′000 to 3′000′000	2% / 50:1	2% / 50:1
3′000′000 to 5′000′000	3% / 33:1	3% / 33:1

The margin levels can be changed according to profits and losses. Thus, on a margin of 1%, the level of margin will not be changed if profits were generated. For a customer with a margin of 2%, the level of margin will not decrease until 1% as losses were generated.            

Please note that margin conditions apply every working day, weekend and public holidays.
