Margin requirement refers to the percentage of marginable assets that an trader is obliged to pay with his own assets. The margin requirement can be further subdivided into the Initial Margin Requirement and Maintenance Margin Requirement.
Should you have positions in several symbols of one trading pool, a total margin requirement would be calculated for all of your positions of the same pool.
