Thank you kindly Caseynoes. 😉 As helpful as always. Much appreciated!

Hi Forum, I was just wanting to know how the margin requirements work with "events"** (**eg NFP, Central bank Rate announcements, FOMC, etc...) Not sure if it reflects in the demo trading platform, but my understanding is that the margin requirement increases around these events(certainly in ones live account). How long before the "events"** do these increased margin requirements kick in and how long after the event**? What would happen in the instance where one has an open position(with a guaranteed stop loss in place), and one does not have sufficient margin in the account? {I also am assuming that the account is a "limited risk account"}. How much is the increase in margin requirement?
