To keep your positions open, you need to maintain a certain margin level within your account. This margin is calculated as a percentage of the total value of your ongoing trades. If your margin falls below this level – currently 50% - then the system may start closing your trades to protect you from further losses. (Starting with the trade that has the biggest open loss.) You can increase your margin level by either making further investments or decreasing your open position exposure.
Upon dividend distribution by the company-issuer of the underlying shares in a CFD, we apply a respective adjustment to your trading account on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends paid will depend on the company payout, and not on markets.com. Depending on the position, dividends can be credited or debited from your trading account.
