## Definition

```csharp

    Print("Hedged positions only use the margin of the larger side");
else
    Print("Total margin calculation type: {0}", Account.TotalMarginCalculationType);
```

Python:

```python
if api.Account.TotalMarginCalculationType == TotalMarginCalculationType.Max:
    api.Print("Hedged positions only use the margin of the larger side")
else:
    api.Print(f"Total margin calculation type: {api.Account.TotalMarginCalculationType}")
```

## Values

- `TotalMarginCalculationType.Sum` — Total margin requirements per Symbol are equal to Sum of all margin requirements of all positions of that Symbol.
- `TotalMarginCalculationType.Max` — Total margin requirements per Symbol are equal to Max margin requirements from all Long and all Short Positions of that Symbol.
- `TotalMarginCalculationType.Net` — Total margin requirements per Symbol are equal to the difference between margin requirements of all Long and all Short Positions of that Symbol.
