Margining Requirement for Single Stock Futures=Futures Price × Multiple of Contract × Margin Rate
The futures price during the after-hours trading session is calculated based on the daily settlement prices from the previous regular trading session. If single stock futures contract adjustments take effect during the after-hours trading session, the margin is calculated based on the opening reference price for the current trading session.
Group | Clearing Margin Rate | Maintenance Margin Rate | Initial Margin Rate |
---|---|---|---|
Group 1 | 10.00% | 10.35% | 13.50% |
Group 2 | 12.00% | 12.42% | 16.20% |
Group 3 | 15.00% | 15.53% | 20.25% |
For single stock futures with risk parameters greater than 15%, TAIFEX will round up the actual computation result to the nearest hundredth and the rounded value will be used for clearing margin level. The maintenance margin and initial margin level will be calculated by adding a required mark up to the clearing margin level.
