Margin is the minimum required funds to prepare the minimum trading amount, and you can trade based on this margin. Therefore, you cannot open a new position without sufficient margin. Also, if you fall into a margin shortage due to sudden market movements, you may have to close (settle) your position. To avoid this, we recommend keeping sufficient margin on your account and managing your funds.
For all products offered by XM, new positions can only be opened when there is "more margin than required" in any case.

For other financial instruments, the cross-trading margin requirement is never zero, and one-sided margin must be maintained. By the way, even in cross trade, you can have a new position only if you have "surplus funds more than the required margin".
XM allows cross-trading within the same account, but cross-trading between multiple accounts or with other securities companies is prohibited. If fraudulent activity is discovered, penalties such as account closure may be imposed. so please understand.
