Stop Limit Order: The combination of stop order and limit order. Similar to stop order, the stop limit order will be executed when the market price reaches the designated stop price. However, the stop limit order will not become a market when the stop price is triggered but will become a limit order to buy/sell at the designated limit price.

Example: The market is traded at 500.00; a valid buy/sell stop limit order should be looked like as below,

Initial Margin: the margin amount required to initiate trading for 1 futures contract.
Maintenance Margin: the equity amount that investor has to maintain at or above in order to maintain his/her open position
Super Margin: the additional margin requirement that may apply when the market will close for more than 4 days (NOT includes Saturday and Sunday). The amount would be [Square Root of (T + 1) X Initial (Maintenance) Margin]

2. Mark to Market
Everyday, the profit/loss of all open positions in investor account will be recalculated based on the settlement price of the trading day. Investor's account equity wills either increases or decreases resulting from marking to the market procedure.

3. Margin Call:
In the case that total equity in investor's account is lower than the maintenance margin, KGI will issue a margin call letter to investor. The investor has to either close out his/her open positions or deposit mare margin in order for his/her total equity increases to a level above the initial margin.

4. Forced-Close
Open positions in investor's account is forced to liquidate by KGI due to the following the reasons,

Investor doesn't response to the margin call. If the margin call is issued on Day T, investor neither closes out open positions nor deposits margin into his/her account in the morning on Day T + 2
Low margin: Investor's account equity is lower than 30% of total initial margin due to extreme averse market movement that goes against investor's open positions
