1. The two-way positions of the same member, the same customer and the same month shall be collected as trading margin unilaterally;

2. The intertemporal arbitrage position is subject to unilateral collection of trading margin.

   (2) Price limit system

The price limit refers to the maximum daily fluctuation range of the trading price allowed by the wheat futures contract. Any quotation exceeding the price limit will be deemed invalid and cannot be transacted.

When there is only a buy (sell) declaration at the closing price, and no sell (buy) declaration at the closing price within 5 minutes before the closing of a certain trading day, or when there is a sell (buy) declaration, the transaction is completed without opening the closing price, which is called unilateral no offer for the up (down) limit, or unilateral market.

 Measures for unilateral cities Measures for unilateral cities

Measure 1: Compulsory reduction of positions. The Exchange will automatically match and close all positions with the profit positions of the contract in the specified way and method at the limit price of the day for the rise and fall of all positions declared at the limit price for closing positions that have not been closed, and the unit position loss is greater than or equal to 5% of the settlement price on the trading day. Before compulsory position reduction, investors (including investors of non brokerage members and brokerage members) automatically hedge their locked positions.

Measure 2: If members have settlement or delivery risks, which are having or will have a significant impact on the market, the Exchange can decide and announce unilateral or bilateral, the same or different proportion, some members or all members to increase their trading margins, suspend some or all members to open new positions, adjust the ratio of up and down limit, limit cash out, and close positions within a time limit, One or more of the measures, such as forced closing positions, postponing the delivery date, and extending the delivery time, can defuse market risks, but the proportion of the adjusted price limit shall not exceed 20%. After the Exchange announces to adjust the margin level, those with insufficient margin shall be added in place before the market opening on the trading day. If there is no unilateral market in the same direction for the futures contract on the same day, the rise and fall limit and trading margin ratio of the futures contract on the next trading day will return to the normal level; If the futures contract has a unilateral market in the same direction on the same day, the Exchange will declare it an abnormal situation and take risk control measures according to relevant regulations.
