What is changing?
Effective 19 April 2026:
Margin on hedged positions will be calculated at 50% of one side of the trade
Applies to all Blueberry Markets MT4 and MT5 servers.
No changes to margin requirements for non-hedged (directional) positions
What is a hedged position?
A hedged position occurs when you hold both buy and sell positions on the same instrument simultaneously.
Fully hedged: Equal buy and sell volume (e.g., Buy 1 lot, Sell 1 lot)
Partially hedged: Unequal volumes (e.g., Buy 1 lot, Sell 0.5 lot)
How will the margin be calculated?
Hedged portion: Charged at 50% margin on one side
Unhedged portion: Charged at the standard margin rate
Impact on your account:
Existing hedged positions will be recalculated automatically once the change takes effect
You may notice changes to your used margin and free margin
This may affect your margin level and available capacity to open new trades
What you should do
Review your current hedged or partially hedged positions
Ensure your account maintains sufficient margin to support these positions
Consider adjusting exposure if needed to avoid potential margin calls or margin stop-outs
Why are we making this change?
We periodically review our trading conditions to ensure they remain consistent, sustainable, and aligned with evolving market standards. This update strengthens our margin framework and risk management settings.
