Minimum margin requirements have been recommended by the com. exchanges
listed. Spread margins are intra-market only.
Consult your broker for changes that occur during spot months.
Contact your broker for individual brokerage hour margin requirements.
Contact your broker or the exchange for information on variable trading
limits.
Price limitations are imposed by the various exchanges to prevent extreme
price changes in any one day. When prices reach the trading limit, trading
beyond that limit is stopped for that day. In nearly all markets, the Board
of Directors of Governors has the power to change the limits in emergencies.
in the current month, the limitations are broadened in certain futures
contracts by permitting wider price ranges and in others by removing limitations
entirely.
The above compilation includes all active commodities and their markets.
The information contained herein is from sources believed to be reliable,
but we cannot be held responsible for either its accuracy or completeness.
All information contained herein is subject to change by action of the
respective commodity exchanges. We will make every effort to update any
