Margin trading enables traders to engage in futures trading by depositing a specific amount relative to the contract value and borrowing the remainder for increased buying power. Traders are encouraged to monitor their positions daily. If their account balance drops below a certain threshold, they must promptly cover the deficit, or the exchange may close open positions until the balance meets the minimum requirement.

Second is the Maintenance margin - the minimum amount of equity to be maintained in the account during the life of each contract and is always lower than the initial margin. This is the Variation margin - the difference between the initial margin and the current (margin) balance and is calculated in case of a margin call, i.e., when the account balance falls below the required maintenance margin. [8]
