The margin requirement for all hedge positions is equal to the margin requirement of the positions with higher margin requirements. For example: you place a BUY order for 1 lot of GOLD with a margin of 800 USD, then to hedge this position you place a SELL order for 1 lot of GOLD with a margin of 750 USD, the total margin you need to pay will only be 800 USD for both lots of GOLD.
Note: Hedge positions do not completely guarantee that your positions will not be stopped out. During periods of high price volatility or larger-than-normal spreads, these positions may still be closed due to insufficient margin.
Detailed information on margin requirements for each instrument can be viewed directly on the xStation platform or in the Margin table on our website.
