Risk of Liquidating Position and Liabilities for Resulting Loss. When the Client establishes certain positions on derivatives, i.e. long futures, short futures and short options, he/she is obliged to perform its obligations under the contract. The Client’s Derivatives with such position will be marked to market by its derivative agent at least at the end of business day to reflect a daily gain or loss from the Client’s position. Should the loss sustained by the Client’s position in the market cause the balance in its margin account to drop below the maintenance margin, the Client will be called by his/her derivatives agent to deposit an additional fund to maintain its initial margin within a specified period of time. If the Client does not provide the required margin within the time required by his/her derivatives agent, the Client’s position may be liquidated, and the Client will be liable for any resulting loss from such liquidation. The derivatives agent may also include Forced Close Position as an additional term in a Contract Appointing Derivatives Brokerage or its trading regulation that is when the Client’s balance in its margin account drops to the Forced Close Level, the derivatives agent will call the Client to deposit additional margin during trading hours. If the Client does not provide the required margin within the time set out in the agreement or the regulation, the derivative agent is entitled to close out the Client’s position, and the Client will be liable for any resulting loss from such Forced Close Position. Clients who maintain a position in derivatives, whether for their own account or through third party, in excess of the amount determined by the Derivatives Exchange and are unable to offset such excessive position as informed by their derivatives agents will be exposed to the similar foregoing risk.
