Does the Maintenance Margin Change for a Trader Using a Hedge Mode Position?

No, the maintenance margin requirement per contract does not typically change when a trader uses hedge mode. Hedge mode allows a trader to hold both a long and a short position on the same contract simultaneously.

While this changes the overall portfolio risk and margin utilization, the margin required to maintain each individual position is still calculated based on the standard maintenance margin percentage for that contract and tier.
