Recital 4

(4)Long and short positions of market participants in a given commodity derivative should be netted off against each other to determine the effective size of a position a market participant controls at any point in time. The size of a position held through an option contract or a commodity derivative traded on the same trading venue that is a sub-set of the principal contract should be calculated on a delta equivalent basis. To allow for a comprehensive, centralised and representative overview of a person’s activity, and to prevent circumventing the objective of the position limit set for the principal contract, the aggregate position held by a person in a commodity derivative traded on a trading venue should also include the position resulting from the disaggregation of the components of a spread contract admitted to trading as a single tradable instrument on the same trading venue and the positions in commodity derivatives traded on the same trading venue that are a sub-set of the principal contract with regards to their size (so-called minis), or pricing period maturity, such as balance-of-the-month (so-called balmos) contracts.
