This book was released on 2014 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effects of margin changes on futures trading activity, the composition of traders and market liquidity, using an account level data set from the Taiwan Futures Exchange. We find that margin increases reduce trading activity for all trader types, which is consistent with the hypothesis that higher margins increase the costs of trading. Institutional traders are more sensitive to changes in margin requirements than individual traders, because their trading activity decreases significantly more than that of individual traders. This in turn leads to increases in market price volatility and decreases in market liquidity. These results imply that margin requirement is not an effective policy tool in limiting the trading activity of noise speculators to reduce market volatility.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although in developed countries the futures markets have been in existence since mid-nineteenth century, they are relatively new in the developing countries. In the late twentieth and early twenty first century, many new futures exchanges were established in developing countries and in the majority of these newly established exchanges substantial growth in futures trading have been observed within a small period of time. This fast growth in the futures trading volume was mainly due to the tremendous leverage the futures provides to speculators. Thanks to futures margining system, by committing only a small fraction of the money needed to maintain a position on the underlying security in the spot market, a speculator can attain a much higher return potential by buying or selling a futures contract. This paper studies this effect by employing daily return data on 19 selected stocks listed continuously in IMKB-30 (Istanbul Stock Exchange 30, Turkey) from January 2005 to December 2010. Popular technical indicators are used to generate buy and sell signals in both the spot market (Istanbul Stock Exchange) and the futures market (VOB, a fast growing derivatives exchange located in İzmir, Turkey). The profit/loss resulting from trading strategies are then calculated and compared. The results of the study show that, although the amount invested in both markets is the same, the profit generated from the strategies applied on futures is significantly higher than that on spot market. A CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) based hedge ratio is used to apply the trading strategies generated from spot market data on futures. The results show that this strategy generates superior returns in the futures market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traders in futures markets are required to deposit initial margin requirements for their open futures positions and maintain minimum margin requirements for these open positions. Futures exchanges set these margin requirements and require higher margin requirements for more volatile contracts. It has been argued that futures exchanges may use changing margin requirements to control the volatility of futures contracts and this question is still of interest. To address this question, I investigate the relationship between margin changes and futures price volatility for 24 different futures contracts, which include contracts on agricultural commodities, livestock, equity indices, interest rate and foreign currency. I provide evidence using univariate tests that the futures price volatility is significantly reduced following margin increases, while the futures price volatility increases but to a lesser extent following margin decreases. A regression analysis shows that larger margin changes have a greater negative effect on the futures price volatility. This relationship holds for the different futures contracts. Finally, it may be argued that margin requirements and futures price volatility are endogeneous variables. To address the potential presence of endogeneity, I employ the instrumental variables technique along with two stages least squares estimation and find that the inverse relationship between margin changes and volatility still holds.
