I understand how margin is calculated for all other markets, excluding Oil contracts (that do not have a guaranteed stop-loss attached), as the 'Deposit Factor' within the 'Information Tab' of both 'Oil Brent-Crude' and 'Oil US-Crude' is displayed as a number [e.g. 300], as opposed to a percentage [i.e. 3%]. What does '300' mean?

Hi there,
I understand how margin is calculated for all other markets, excluding Oil contracts (that do not have a guaranteed stop-loss attached), as the 'Deposit Factor' within the 'Information Tab' of both 'Oil Brent-Crude' and 'Oil US-Crude' is displayed as a number [e.g. 300], as opposed to a percentage [i.e. 3%]. What does '300' mean?
Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.
Kind regards,
