Calculating Share Margin Requirements – Example

Account base currency: EUR
EURUSD market price: 1.08459
Position: Open 5 lots BUY Alibaba Stocks at 205.4
1 Lot size: 1 shares
Margin requirement: 20% of Notional Value
Notional value is: 5 * 1 * 205.4 = 1027 USD
Margin required is: 1027 USD * 0.20 = 205.4 USD = 189.38 EUR

WHAT IS STOCKS TRADING?

Unlike orders of CFDs on Stocks, which are not directly reflected in the underlying market, a CFD on Direct Market Access (DMA) Stocks means that with HFM, your orders will be reflected live in the live orders books of global regulated exchanges.

However, as with all CFD products, you will trade a CFD and not gain ownership rights of the Stock you wish to trade.

At HFM you can trade CFDs on Stocks with leverage and ultra-fast execution.

You can trade CFD DMA Stocks on MetaTrader 5 and on HFM App.

Hedging is allowed on all instruments. When you open equal and opposite positions of the same volume on the same instrument (a fully hedged position), the margin requirement for the matched volume becomes zero.
If the hedge is partial (volumes are not equal), zero margin applies only to the matched portion, while the remaining unmatched volume follows standard margin requirements.

If you open an opposite position of the same instrument with a smaller volume:

  • Zero margin is applied to the matched portion.
  • The unmatched portion continues to require standard margin.

Example:
If you hold 1 lot Buy EURUSD and open 0.4 lot Sell EURUSD:

  • 0.4 lot requires zero margin
  • 0.6 lot remains under standard margin requirement

Yes. The feature works identically on:

  • WebTrader
  • HFM App
  • MetaTrader 5

If one side of a fully hedged position is closed:

  • The remaining open position will immediately revert to standard margin requirement.
  • Margin recalculates automatically in real-time.

No. Modifying Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) does not affect margin as long as both hedge positions remain open, and volumes remain matched.

Yes. Once a position becomes fully hedged and margin is freed, it is immediately reflected in your available margin and can be used for new trades.

No. Zero Hedge Margin applies to:

  • All account types
  • Partially approved and approved wallets
  • All instruments
