Margin Update Notice

As part of our regular process to keep simulated instruments aligned with current market conditions, the initial and maintenance margin requirements for the following simulated futures contracts have been updated, effective immediately:

  • XAUG26.sim – New margin: $2,000 per lot
  • USOILF26.sim – New margin: $509 per lot

Please review your open positions and ensure that your account maintains sufficient equity to meet the updated requirements. Accounts that do not meet the new margin requirements may be subject to automatic position closure.


Each Friday at market close, the trading platform enters maintenance mode. During this window, trading may be disabled and access to the platform may be fully restricted.


Overnight rollover swaps are subject to regular changes and adjustments, reflecting, among other things, interest rate differentials and dividend adjustments. If you are holding positions overnight, please be reminded that it is your responsibility to check these swaps in the contract specification for each simulated symbol, and to adjust (if needed) and manage your positions accordingly. FTMO is not responsible for trading results affected by swap changes or adjustments.
