    As you know, constituent stocks of an index will periodically pay dividends to shareholders. When they do, the overall value of the index is affected, causing it to drop by a certain amount. Each week, we receive the forecast for the number of points any index is due to drop by, and we publish this for you. As dividends are scheduled, public events, it is important to remember that leveraged index traders can neither profit nor lose from such price movements.

    ASIC margin rules from March 27th

    By MaxIG,


    ASIC regulation changes
    New ASIC regulations coming into force for Australia are set to standardise the way margin close out rules work for retail traders. If the total equity of your CFD account fall below 50% of the margin required for all your open CFD positions on your account, one or more of your open CFD positions will be closed out as soon as market conditions allow. On the IG trading platform the new margin close-out rules will come into effect from Saturday 27th March 2021. Please find an overview of the new regulation and how this may affect your account.
    Please remember that these changes only affect retail client accounts held with the Australian office of IG Markets Ltd (this includes New Zealand clients), and do not apply to IG Pro clients. Please add any query, question, or request for clarification in the comments box.
     
    What is the new ASIC margin close out rule?
    Put simply, under the new ASIC rules we will need to include running losses for limited risk positions when looking at the equity calculation. Let's look at a worked example. 
    Say you have $1200 cash on your IG account.  You place an Australia 200 trade with a guaranteed stop and it requires a margin of $1000.  If the market moves against you $200's worth you would then start to eat into your equity. If the market continues to move against you by a further $500 (i.e. 50% of the margin required to open your trade) your position would be closed. This is because your equity is now only 50% of your margin requirement.  The new ASIC rules require us to close the position.  You would be left with $500 in your account. Please remember if the market gaps over this level then there is no guarantee to close your trade at this exact 50% level. There is a 'negative balance protection' rule which will be in place from March 27th, however this applies to the account as a whole and only applies to new positions opened after March 27th. There are a couple of other important things to note
    We will not be implementing 24 hour or weekend close out rules for ASIC retail clients.  This change will be made on March 27th and will be applied on an account level (both existing and new positions). If you have a regular trader account, you can still use running profits to cover margin on new positions. Positions which have guaranteed stops will be margined at the higher value; maximum risk on the trade or the underlying market margin rate.   
    What does this mean for me?
    "I currently have a limited risk account" - If you currently have a limited risk account (i.e. every time you open a new trade you have to have a guaranteed stop attached to your trade) then you may be at risk of having your positions closed out automatically. This will be the first time that previously 'limited risk' accounts could get closed out automatically. 
    "I currently have a regular account" - If you currently have a regular account (i.e. you don't need to apply a guaranteed stop to every position, however it is an option if you wish) then you may be at risk of having your positions closed due to the above change in close out rules. When we calculate account equity today, we do not currently include running losses on positions with guaranteed stops. Under the new ASIC requirements, we will need to include running losses on such positions as part of the margin ratio calculation. This means that your positions will be closed out when your equity (ie cash including all running profits and losses) covers only 50% of your margin requirement.

    How will the new ASIC rules affect my IG account?

    By MaxIG,


    ASIC regulation changes
    If you have any questions regarding the information below please add a comment. To get the best experience on Community please make sure you LOGIN. Notifications, private messages (if required), and tagging are only possible if you are logged in.
     
    In August 2019, ASIC has proposed changes to the way CFDs can be offered to Australian retail clients and kicked off a consultation period to open up the discussion. After gathering feedback from traders and the industry ASIC announced new regulations which are set to go live on 29th March 2021. To comply with these new regulations you may notice some changes on your IG account from the week commencing Monday 22nd March 2021, you can find a roadmap for these changes below.
    Some of the changes include leverage ratio limits, standardized margin close out procedures, and negative balance protections for retail clients. The reason for such changes are to enhance protections for retail clients trading leveraged financial products in a rapidly growing market.

    Below is a timeline listing the key dates of the ASIC release and our implementation of the changes made on retail CFD accounts.  The changes outlined below will apply to retail CFD accounts held with IG’s Australian office, this includes New Zealand accounts. Pro clients will not be impacted.

     
    Wednesday 24th March
    Collateral - Clients were able to link their CFD and share trading accounts to use funds and shares held in their share trading account to cover margin for their CFD positions. As of Wednesday 24th March linked collateral accounts will no longer be an option for retail clients. Once we delink collateral accounts as part of the regulatory changes, clients will no longer be able to rely on their share trading account to cover CFD margin and need to ensure enough funds are held directly in their CFD account to cover the required margin deposit. If you have insufficient funds at this time your leveraged trading account will be at risk of position closures.


    Thursday 25th March  
    Select accounts set to closing only - Some clients may be trading with us under a select account, which allowed tailored rules around margin and liquidation. These account types will be switched to ‘closing only’ (i.e. the account type and agreed terms will remain, but you can only close your positions at your convenience and no new positions can be opened under this account type). Any new position would need to be opened under a newly set up, regular IG retail account, which will be accessible under the same login details.


    Saturday 27th March 2021
    Margin Changes - Margin requirements to open and maintain leveraged positions was one of the more prominent aspects of the ASIC regulations. On the Saturday, 27th March new margin floors will be implemented across all ASIC retail accounts for all new positions. Pro Level 1 accounts will also have new margin floors applied to their accounts. Existing positions will keep current margin rates. You can find more information regarding retail margin requirements here and Pro margin requirements here. Retail clients will no longer be able to reduce their margin requirement by using stops.
    Negative balance protection - All retail clients contracting to our ASIC regulated entity will have negative balance protection applied to their account. Pro Level 1 accounts that have not activated collateral will also benefit from negative balance protection. Please note this will only apply to debts incurred on positions opened after 27 March 2021.
    Offsetting long and short positions - If a client is currently long and short a particular market then they will currently pay 10% of either leg. From 27th March, clients will have to pay 100% of the ASIC margin on each position. This change will only apply on new positions, therefore if you are currently long and short the same market then you will continue to receive the concession.
    Rollovers - When Retail or Pro Level 1 clients futures contracts rollover and a position is opened after the 27th March, then the new position will be margined basis the ASIC or Pro Level 1 minimums.
    Automatic Close Out - Although margin will not increase for existing positions opened before this date, all accounts will be subject to the standardised 50% closeout rule. If your account equity falls below 50% of the total margin deposit required then we will need to close positions on your account as soon as market conditions allow. IG has already had a 50% liquidation rule in place for standard accounts, however limited risk accounts and anyone using guaranteed stops will need to ensure they obtain enough funds on their account to cover margin in addition to all running loss on their positions. We will no longer be closing positions if your account is on margin call for 24 hours or leading in to the weekend. We will also ensure to waive any negative balance incurred on retail clients CFD trading accounts.

    Monday 29th March 2021
    Rebates - Some retail clients may have received rebates based on trade volumes. ASIC regulations mean that retail clients will no longer receive any form of rebate. Any rebate accrued before the 29th March will still be credited.
    Refer-a-Friend – Bonuses for the refer-a-Friend scheme can only be paid on qualifying trades placed before 29th March.
    Share trading subscription fee - Clients that have held shares in their share trading account were able to have the quarterly subscription fee waived if they placed at least 3 trades in their linked CFD account.  After this day, we will no longer be able to count CFD trades for the waiver of the quarterly subscription fee applied to share trading accounts. Any client that holds shares on a share trading account at the end of each quarter and has not traded at least 3 times across their share trading accounts only, will be charged the quarterly subscription fee.
