Margin Position Management
Intraday margin rates are effective from the product open until 15 minutes prior to the session close, when initial margin is required. Initial margins are set by the exchange and represent the amount required to hold a position into the next trading session.
Accounts that do not meet margin requirements are subject to liquidation and applicable fees.

The NinjaTrader risk team evaluates market conditions in real time and reserves the right to adjust intraday margins in accordance with market volatility. If required, temporary changes to the amount of margin required for trading may be made without prior notification.
Margin Changes For Economic News Announcements
Intraday margins will be set to 4X our standard rates 15 minutes prior to the release of key economic news announcements, as listed in your account dashboard, for any and/or all products. The temporary elevated margin requirements will remain in place for approximately five minutes following the announcement once market volatility is determined to present manageable risk for our traders.
Please be aware these elevated margin rates apply only when entering a new position, which may present significant risk to the account.
Margin and Position Management Violations
If an account does not meet the margin requirement at all times during the trade:
- The entire position may be liquidated and closed
- An e-mail will be sent notifying the account owner of the violation
- 1st Violation: $25 execution fee
- Subsequent Violations: $50 execution fee
Delivery And First Notice
Trading in physically deliverable futures contracts is prohibited beginning on the business day preceding the earlier of the Last Trade Date or the 1st Notice Date through the Last Trade Date.
