Dear Client,
Please be advised that we will adjust hedged positions margin rules for all symbols at 10:00 am (GMT+7), March 21. After adjustment, hedged positions won’t occupy any margin.
Take XAUUSD for example, currently used margin per lot is approximately $450 and hedged positions occupy 50% of original margin. Please check used margins before and after adjustment below:
Example 1:
XAUUSD 2 Lot Buy, 1 Lot Sell
Before: $900
After：$450
Reason: 1 lot buy and 1 lot sell are hedged, therefore margin for 1 lot buy position will be used under new rules.
Example 2:
XAUUSD 2 Lot Buy, 1 Lot Sell
Before：$900
After： $0
Reason: 2 lots buy and 2 lots sell are fully hedged, so no margin will be used under the new rules.
Example 3:
XAUUSD 2 Lot Buy, 1,9 Lot Sell
Before：$900
After： $45
Reason: 1.9 lots buy and 1.9 lots sell are hedged, therefore margin for 0.1 lot buy will be used under new rules.
Please be advised that under new rules of hedged positions margin, used margin will increase after closing partial or all positions of either side. To prevent stop out caused by insufficient usable margin, please make sure there are adequate funds on your account when you attempt to close one side of hedged positions.
