The trading commissions you pay also depends on your margin requirements - the amount required to enter into a position per contract on an intraday basis. ITG Futures provides margins based on a percentage of the initial margin or a nominal amount. Intraday margin (day trading margins) are determined by our clearing firms and based on many factors including market volatility, open interest, customer credit profile and the level of funding in the specific customer's account.
| Day Trading Margins | Clearing Firm | Commissions Per Side |
|---|---|---|
| 50% of Initial Margin | All of FCM’s | $1.00 |
| 25% of Initial Margin | All of FCM’s | $1.20 |
| 20% of Initial Margin | All of FCM’s | $1.50 |

| ITG Futures and/or our Clearing FCMs maintain the right to liquidate any position at any time if a margin call and/or deficit occurs. The customer would be responsible for any deficit that occurs as a result of liquidations. We will make our best efforts to contact customers to address margin call depending on the severity of the call. Accounts that are subject to margin calls may experience higher commissions due to increased risk. Specific day trading margins from select FCMs that are well below average rates may subject you to much higher fees than provided above. Contracts with relatively low liquidity may subject you to additional fees |

SmartQuant product line includes all the components that are necessary for an end-to-end automated trading infrastructure capable of supporting institutional scale deployment for hedge funds, investment management firms and buy-side and sell-side trading groups. At the same time, it is modular and flexible, allowing individual professional traders or small teams to start with a minimal configuration before proceeding to a full-scale installation.
Our objective is to fill the gap between expensive high-end institutional systems which are typically out of reach for emerging managers, and the lower-end (retail level) systems which do not have the industrial strength necessary for professional investment managers. We can offer a tailored solution to each client comprised of just the right set of products, for each stage of their development, and a seamless path to growth with minimal expenses.
