>Our margin department maintains specific capital requirements for accounts trading XSP calendar spreads. The following guidelines establish eligibility criteria for hedge relief on short XSP options positions. Accounts must maintain the minimum $15,000.00 net liquidating value threshold to continue trading XSP calendar spreads with hedge relief. Any account falling below this threshold will automatically revert to naked margin requirements for all short XSP options positions until the minimum balance is restored.
