Impact to your trades
Please note that new margin requirements will affect both EXISTING and NEW positions. Make sure you have enough available margin / equity for your transaction(s). Additional margin increases may be implemented should volatility continue to grow.
We would also like to stress that Stop Loss orders are not guaranteed to be filled at your order level: Stop orders are converted to Market orders once triggered, and dislocations in available liquidity could result in significant slippage on Stop orders.
