Trade with Margin
at MEXEM

Access additional buying power and greater
market flexibility with a Margin Account.


A Margin Account allows you to trade using both your own funds and eligible borrowed capital, giving you greater flexibility when investing in global markets.

What Is Margin?

Margin is the ability to use your existing securities and cash balance as collateral to access additional purchasing power.

It does not mean you are automatically borrowing money. Borrowing only occurs when your positions exceed your available cash balance.

Margin is typically used to:

• Increase buying power
• Open larger positions than cash alone allows
• Short sell eligible securities
• Trade derivatives and multi-asset strategies

Esempio

Eligible securities and cash can support additional purchasing power, subject to margin requirements and account eligibility.

Esempio

If your account contains €10,000 in equity, a margin account may allow you to control positions larger than your available cash balance, subject to applicable margin requirements.

How Margin Borrowing Works

When you place an order, available cash is always used first.
If the value of a purchase exceeds your available settled cash balance, a margin loan may be created automatically.

Typical Margin Loan Scenarios:

Buying securities - You purchase investments that exceed your available cash balance.
Account charges - Fees or other account-related expenses exceed available settled funds.

Important to Know

• Margin loans generate interest charges.
• Borrowing occurs only when settled cash is insufficient.
• Margin borrowing may occur in specific currencies depending on the transaction.
• When converting money, the new currency is immediately available for trading.
• When selling a position the funds are immediately available for investing (unlike a Cash Account)

Risks

Margin can enhance investment flexibility, but it also increases risk.

Before trading on margin, consider that:

• Losses can exceed your initial investment.
• Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
• Interest costs apply to borrowed funds.
• Positions may be liquidated if margin requirements are not maintained.
• Market volatility can rapidly affect available margin.

Margin trading is generally more suitable for experienced investors who understand the risks involved.
