In the futures market, clients receive a more favorable margin requirement for trades that are not held overnight, called intraday margin. This is typically set at $500/contract, although we do not recommend using full leverage. Overnight margin is the required amount in your account per contract to hold positions overnight,(defined as holding a position when the market closes). This overnight margin requirement is set by the exchange and does fluctuate. You can view recent margin requirements here.

It is important to understand the risks and structure of broker-assist and managed futures programs, therefore, we ask that you contact us at 1.800.496.1683 to discuss those offered at Mirus.
