Adjusting Margin Requirements
Note:
- The TPEx will adjust the margin purchase leverage ratio and short sale margin by 10% (+/-) in response to intense share price volatility, irregular trade volume, or concentrated equity. If these conditions occur simultaneously, the margin purchase leverage ratio will be reduced by 10%, and the short sale margin will be increased by 10%.
- During two or more times dispositions period, the TPEx may reduce the margin purchase ratio to zero and raise the margin percentage for short sale by 10%.
- The TPEx Surveillance Operations Oversight Committee may also change these ratios as stated above.
- If, conditions occur at the same time, the relevant margin percentage for short sale may be further raised while the margin purchase ratio remains zero.
- Current margin purchase leverage and short sale margins for each security can be found on our website: Margin balance.
- The table includes suspended trading securities.
