RepoClear Margin Calculator
The RepoClear Margin Calculator is a rest API tool that helps our members monitor their margin requirements in regards to their trades cleared at LCH. Access to the tool is included with the RepoClear Clearing Membership.
The RepoClear Margin Calculator can be utilised in two ways to calculate margin, by API call or by simulated trades. To maintain the effective performance of the tool, additional fees will apply if the usage of the margin calculator exceeds the fair usage threshold (set out below).
