Is hedging allowed?
Yes. You can use hedging to manage risk or take multiple opportunities with the same instrument or correlated instruments in the same simulated trading account.
However, hedging the same or correlated trading instruments across two or more accounts is prohibited. This is considered cheating and will result in an immediate and permanent disqualification.
Type of hedging | Allowed |
Hedging the same instrument in one account | Yes |
Hedging correlated instruments in one account | Yes |
Hedging the same instrument between different accounts | No |
Hedging correlated instruments between different accounts | No |
FAQ
How is margin calculated for hedged positions?
When you hedge a long and short position, we combine the margin requirements for both positions. For example, if you are long 1 lot of EURUSD and short 1 lot of EURUSD, the margin required will be for 2 lots.
