I do not have any open positions or working orders.

The deal ticket: US500 3400 CALL (MAR 20)
Size: 1 Currency: GBP Sell price: 0.38 Buy price: 0.98
Margin required: 152.12/0.98
I have 107 GBP on my account. When I press the BUY, the system warns that I do not have enough funds on my account, I have to deposit more. WHY? I costs 0.98 GBP only to BUY that option.
Could anyone help me?

Hello,
I try to buy a sp500 call option, traded at 0.71 GBP per point. The trading platform cannot execute the trade, it says that the margin requirement is 152 GBP !
I have only 107 GBP on my spread betting account. I cannot understand this big margin requirement for buying an option, it should only be 0.71 GBP for buying 1 point.
Coulld anyone help me?
Thanks,
Laszlo

Yes, it should be 0.98 GBP for buy.
But the trading system requires 152 GBP margin for buy. WHY?
