Leverage, Under Control

The margin gate is wired directly into order validation: every marginable order is checked for buying power, collateral sufficiency, and concentration before it reaches the market. As prices move, coverage and margin ratios are recalculated in real time, driving alerts and — if needed — automated liquidation.

Pre-trade enforcement, real-time coverage, tiered margin calls, and a configurable liquidation engine — with conventional and Tawarruq-based financing side by side.

Key Capabilities

Everything a modern margin desk needs

Flexible Facility Types

Funded (fixed-term), utilisation-based revolving credit, overdraft, and hybrid facilities — each with its own accrual basis, limit, and lifecycle.

Collateral Management

Cash, listed equities, sukuk and bonds, eligible funds, and foreign equities as collateral, with per-class haircuts and daily mark-to-market.

Real-Time Margin Engine

Coverage ratio, margin ratio, equity, gross liquidation value, total market value, used and available margin, and buying power — recomputed continuously.

Margin Call Workflow

Tiered early-warning, margin-call, and liquidation thresholds with email / SMS / in-app alerts, grace periods, and client response options.

Liquidation Engine

Automated forced liquidation with broker-defined methodology — Most Liquid, FIFO, LIFO, Most Volatile, or Lowest Collateral Ratio — plus manual override with audit.

Interest Accrual

Daily accrual on the full facility or drawn balance, benchmark-linked floating rates (e.g. SAIBOR) with per-client spreads, and automatic GL posting.
