Warning: As the Buyback Deposit will be included as part of your account equity and Margin, in the event that the Buyback Deposit is withdrawn from a Participant’s account this will affect the Margin level and could result in the account meeting the Liquidation Level and open positions being closed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
