The formula used for the credit check is as follows:
cost = Legacy TT Margin + Portfolio SPAN Margin - Open Trade Equity + Options Premium (filled orders) + Working Long Options Premium
Cost | Total credit requirement for the account. |
---|---|
Legacy TT Margin | Margin requirement for products in a market which is not enabled for Pre-Trade Portfolio Margin. |
Portfolio SPAN Margin | Margin requirement for Pre-Trade Portfolio Margin enabled markets, this includes Initial Margin Requirements and the Net Option Value (if applicable).
|
Open Trade Equity | The open trade equity (marked to market P/L) of positions (excluding options margined Equity-Style), is calculated using midpoint. |
Options Premium (filled orders) | Premium on filled positions for options margined Equity-Style. |
Working Long Options Premium | Estimated premium for long options margined Equity-Style. |
Note If Net Option Value exceeds the value of Initial Margin for orders and positions, a cost-credit is created within the same exchange.
