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.
