Hey , i am a newbie here and i have a question .

I was trading on demo initially and the deposits it required to buy 3-4 contracts of oil us crude , brent crude , ftse 100 cash $10 contract and us tevh 100 $10 contract was between $2500-3000.

 

Now all of a sudden it demands more deposit . Almost 4 times more . Is it going to go back to normal ? And why has it changed

Hi - there hasn't been a change based on the general margin, however if you specific circumstances have changed then this may have caused it (for example change of country, change of account status from regular to limited risk etc). Please give our trading services team a call and we can go through the specifics of your account, which unfortunately I can't do on a public forum.

I actually have contacted the help desk in this regard, and all they could answer is this " our regulations have been changed and the margin required to place trades on commodities, indices and forex has been increase 4 times to what it was before."

So james all of a sudden this has happened which is limiting users like me to place traders as freely as we were doing before . I have the account in UAE office. 

Are you sure that the regulations have not been changed and margin requirement has not been increased, and it may be because of change of status of my account? 

I am bound to reach you here because the help desk is not providing satisfactory answers .

Hi - So in regards specifically to the UAE there have been a number of regulatory changes requested by the Dubai regulator. We emailed clients letting them know the following:

 

We would like to inform you that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has recently revised Supervisory Guidelines for firms offering services to Retail clients; due to these regulatory changes as of 15/12/2017 our margins on Indices, commodities, shares, interest rates and bonds will increase.

 

Margin Changes

  • Major indices at 2%
  • Minor indices at 5%
  • Oil and Gold at 2%, all other commodities at 5%
  • Shares starting at 10%
  • Interest rate and bonds will start from a 5% margin

These changes will only effect new positions opened from 15/12/2017. Please ensure that you read the full list of margin changes on the different tiering structures carefully. Once the change comes into effect, you can view the revised margins on our website at www.ig.com/ae. As mentioned, this change comes in line with the new local regulation mentioned above. 

 

I hope this clarifies things for you. Let me know if you have any questions.

    • Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced an extraordinary surge in January 2021, skyrocketing by 45,131%. Despite its fall from an all-time high of $0.00008845 in October 2021, data from Coinpedia Markets shows SHIB is still up by a staggering 1,028,241% from its launch price in August 2020. As of Writing Shiba Inu was trading at  0.00001308 With 1.21% Loss in the Last 24 Hours  In recent months, Shiba Inu, like many other cryptocurrencies, has been in bearish territory. However, this hasn’t dampened investor enthusiasm. According to CoinMarketCap, 80% of Shiba Inu community members remain bullish on the token’s future. Positive Sentiment and Breakout Predictions Shiba Inu’s community remains optimistic, with several analysts predicting an imminent breakout. One analyst noted the contraction of SHIB’s Bollinger Bands as a signal of potential price movement. Trader Dexter recently forecasted that Shiba Inu could reach a price of $0.00015, sparking further interest in the token. Potential Returns on Shiba Inu Investment Although some argue that SHIB may not replicate its 2021 rally, even a fraction of that growth could result in substantial gains. Let’s break down potential returns from an investment of $1,000 at different growth rates. At SHIB’s current price of $0.0000138, a $1,000 investment would buy 72,463,768 tokens. If SHIB rises by 1,000%, the price would jump to $0.0001518, turning a $1,000 investment into $11,000. A 10,000% increase would take SHIB’s price to $0.001393, yielding $100,999 on a $1,000 investment. Shiba Inu may have seen ups and downs, but its community remains optimistic about its future. With potential breakouts on the horizon and the possibility of significant returns, SHIB continues to be a token worth watching in the crypto market.
    • Over the past year and a half, Tron (TRX) has shown impressive growth, with its value increasing by 80% despite some market corrections. Here’s a quick breakdown of Tron’s price action and recent developments: Price Movement: TRX reached a high of $0.17 last month before retracing by 8%, finding support at $0.147. After some fluctuation, it currently sits in the $0.15 range, showing signs of a positive trend. Bullish Indicators: This week, TRX has posted gains, with increased trading volatility signaling a potential rebound. The daily chart suggests a “buy” signal, indicating a bullish impulsive phase may be starting. If this momentum continues, Tron coin could rise to $0.20 in the next few days. Stable Growth: Despite market ups and downs, Tron has been relatively steady, thanks to its strong DeFi ecosystem, efficient DApps, and fast transaction times. These factors help TRX remain competitive, even as new players enter the market. Justin Sun Challenges Coinbase Over PoR Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, has been vocal in his criticism of Coinbase’s approach to Proof-of-Reserve (PoR). Here's what's happening: PoR Debate: Sun expressed confusion over Coinbase’s refusal to adopt PoR, especially after the exchange launched its cbBTC product. Sun pointed out that major exchanges like Binance have embraced PoR, questioning why Coinbase considers it “unfeasible.” Transparency Concerns: Sun emphasized that the crypto community isn’t asking for perfection but simply for more transparency. He believes that revealing wallet addresses is a simple task that can foster trust within the industry, especially in the wake of the FTX collapse. Trust Issues: Sun also raised concerns about relying solely on audit firms for security, stating that being a public company doesn’t guarantee protection from bankruptcy. He mentioned the collapse of Signature Bank as an example, highlighting the need for self-regulation in the crypto space. Tron’s Long-Term Potential Looking ahead, Tron continues to show promise as a long-term investment. Its strong developer base and wide range of applications, from games to entertainment, make it an attractive option in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. With Justin Sun pushing for more transparency and the continued development of Tron’s ecosystem, TRX remains one of the few cryptocurrencies trading steadily and positioned for future growth.
