Full Details & Trading Ramifications of Official Revisions to CFD Trade Rules in Korea

By Sanghyun Park

  • It’s crucial to note that margin balances from CFDs will also be disclosed through each brokerage’s Home Trading System (HTS), providing insight into the risk of margin call-triggered covering trades.
  • It has been challenging to discern which are being targeted for illegal trading operations using CFDs. The disclosure of CFD margin balances can be an indicator to address this issue.
  • This may lead to a short-term selling spiral on suspected stocks, where illegal trading forces rush to liquidate their positions, and additional selling pressure targeting such activities exacerbates the situation.
