AVOID UNTIMELY MARGIN CALLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MARKET DYNAMICS ARE CHANGING FAST.

The Imagine Margin Engine calculates portfolio margin using various exchange rules, Portfolio Margin, or even a prime broker’s house rules – allowing firms to better control and deploy capital.

The T+1 margin process is no longer relevant in fast-moving markets that require up-to-the-minute data.

HOW IT WORKSThe Imagine Margin Service is a complete

operational workflow that incorporates

Imagine’s trading system, data and library

of margin calculators. The functionality

is integrated directly into the Imagine

platform, allowing calculations to be invoked

programmatically. Clients can simultaneously

perform stress tests, for example, “what will

my margin be if a particular market event

occurs?” Users also have complete visibility

into the calculations and can change them or

make additions.
