Summary:
The platform will update hedged margin rules from 30 April 2026, applying single-sided margin, which may increase margin use and liquidation risk.
To further enhance the stability of client accounts under extreme market conditions, the platform will implement adjustments to the Hedged Margin for US stocks and ETFs. Effective 30 April 2026, all Hedged Margin orders will be subject to a single-sided margin requirement. Please take note of this change.
Holding 1 lot of TSLA.OQ requires a margin of USD 70.
Under a fully hedged position, the required margin remains USD 70.
Clients are advised to make appropriate arrangements for their account funds in advance to avoid their accounts being stopped out due to the margin adjustment. The aforementioned measures will be continuously assessed in light of prevailing market conditions. Should there be any further adjustments or updates, a separate notice will be issued accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
