Support for Stop and Stop Limit orders

Stop and stop-limit orders are subject to support by the exchange on which the contract is traded. The order types available are noted in the popup details for each contract.

Initial Margin

The initial margins listed as part of the Contract Specifications are the collateral per contract that you must have in your account to open a position.

Maintenance Margin

Futures contracts are traded on margin, enabling you to leverage a small margin deposit for a much greater market effect.

You must maintain the maintenance margins listed per contract in your account at all times. If the funds on your account fall below this margin, you will be subject to a margin call to either deposit more funds to cover your positions or close positions — normally you will be notified through our trading platform and via email. If your margin situation is not remedied, we may close positions on your behalf.

Partial Fills

Partial fills may occur on limit orders and the remaining amount will stay on the market as a limit order and may be filled within the order duration.

Market orders can be filled at numerous levels, the price paid will be the volume weighted average price of all the fills.

Expiry of Futures Contracts

Please note that GDI Markets does not support physical delivery of the underlying security upon expiry of a futures contract. We therefore advise you to be aware of the expiry and first notice dates of any futures contracts you invest in and ensure that you close your position before this date. If you do not close a futures position before its expiry or first notice date, the platform will automatically close your position for you at the first available opportunity at the prevailing market rate. Any resulting costs, gains or losses will be passed on to you.

If you require any assistance or clarification regarding the expiry of futures contracts, please contact GDI Markets.

Profit/Loss Conversions

Currency conversions of trading costs as well as profits and losses from trading activities are done using the prevailing close rate as of 17:00 New York Time, plus/minus 0.5%.
