Margin is the amount of money or/and assets that the customer must pay before entering into the contract to ensure the ability to fulfill payment obligations according to regulations.

Eligible collateral assets are cash and listed securities. According to current regulations, the cash deposit ratio cannot be lower than 80% of the value of the total deposited assets.

Unlike the underlying market where profits can only be made from rising stock price, derivative stock trading profits can be made even when the market declines. When predicting that the market will decline, investors can take a position to SELL derivative contracts (SHORT position). If the price trend in the market goes as predicted, investors can take profits by closing the position at a price lower than the initial opening price.

The calculation of the initial margin ratio of the VN30 index futures contract is performed by VSDC based on estimates of the one-day change in futures contract prices. Securities Companies may apply an initial margin rate higher than or equal to the VSDC’s regulated rate . VSDC may increase or decrease this rate depending on market conditions and actual trading situation at any time.
