HomeAnnouncementsImportant Notice: Revision of Hedged Margin Requirements (Metals & Energy)

Back to all Announcements

Dear Valued Client,

We would like to inform you of an upcoming update to our hedged margin requirements. This adjustment is implemented to enhance risk management practices and ensure a fair and consistent trading environment.

Effective from 7 May 2026, 23:00 (UTC+1), the hedged margin requirement for Metals and Energy Spot and Futures products will be adjusted to 100%.

This change will apply to the following trading servers:

  • MT4: Live 03, Demo 02
  • MT5: Traze Seychelles, Traze Demo
SymbolHedge Margin (Before)Hedge Margin (After)
XAUUSD0%100%
XAGUSD0%100%
USOIL (Spot & Futures)10%100%
UKOIL (Spot & Futures10%100%
NG10%100%

Clients are advised to review any existing hedged positions and ensure sufficient free margin is maintained prior to the effective time. As margin requirements will increase for fully hedged positions, this will impact margin levels and could lead to margin calls or stop-outs if accounts are not adequately funded. Clients who utilize hedging strategies for margin efficiency are encouraged to reassess their positions and risk management approach accordingly.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Should you require any clarification, please contact our Customer Service team for further assistance.

Best regards,

Traze
