A detailed list of all instrument names is available in MARGIN TABLE.

Important:
It is crucial to remember that after calculating the swap points (which are the result of the base between two series of contracts of underlying instrument), the value of the registers of Customer's account will change. With a very large base, it may happen that the required MARGIN LEVEL is exceeded. In such a case automatic closure of the position will start, starting with the position that generates the lowest financial result and will continue until the moment when the required MARGIN LEVEL is achieved. Customers should also adjust their active pending orders. If the order activation price set by the client is within the gap related to rollover, the order will be executed at the opening price of the instrument. To avoid this situation PENDING ORDERS must be removed before the end of the trading session of the instrument on the rollover day.

Today, there is a change of delivery date for GASOLINE, LEANHOGS, LSGASOIL, OIL.WTI instruments. Clients who have open positions will be credited or debited with proper swap points amounts.

These are:

- LSGASOIL 225 swap points for long position; -225 swap points for short position

- LEANHOGS -3975 swap points for long position; 3975 swap points for short position

- GASOLINE 284 swap points for long position; -284 swap points for short position
