HK Stock Baskets

FXCM’s HK Stock Baskets contain a number of individual stocks relating to a specific sector. 
At the time of the basket inception, each stock was given a value in HKD $ terms. The baskets will from that point forward measure the collective performance of each of the correlated components.

For example: 
ATMX’s original price was $16,000 and Tencent represented $4,000 of that $16,000.
If today that same amount of Tencent shares that were worth $4,000 is now worth $4,150, that stocks contribution to FXCM’s ATMX price will be $4,150. 
The contribution of each of the stocks will formulate the current rate of a Stock Basket.

Margin Requirements 
Margin Requirements are updated daily after the market close.
Currently HK Stock Basket is leveraged at approximately 5:1 and the new margin requirement will be the equivalent of approximately 20% of the notional value of 1 contract.
For example, if the ATMX is 16,000 during the market break, the Margin Requirement for one contract will be updated to HKD 3200.

Other Information 
In the event that one of the individual components of a Basket does not receive a price update for 1 minute, the Basket will become temporarily untradeable. This may result in hanging orders on TS2 or Rejected orders on MT4^*. We recommend trading with caution around any period of low liquidity.

In the event of significant drawdown of one of the components or a corporate action, the Baskets may require a periodic rebalancing. In the event of a rebalancing a component of the basket may be replaced or all open positions may be closed with little or no notice.
