What is the Maintenance Margin?

The maintenance margin level is the amount of equity a customer needs to maintain in order to keep a position open. To view the maintenance margin requirement for a specific instrument, go to the main screen of the Plus500 trading platform, select the financial instrument and click on the “Details” link next to it.

Insufficient funds to meet the maintenance margin requirement will result in the closure of some or all of your positions. For more information, please read: “What is a Margin Call?”.
