Hedging guidelines

Hedging is allowed within a single account. Hedging across multiple accounts is prohibited and treated as toxic trading behaviour.

Hedging is allowed at PipFarm and can be used to manage risk or capture multiple opportunities on the same or correlated instruments — as long as it stays within a single account.

🚨 Hedging the same or correlated instruments across two or more accounts is strictly prohibited. This is considered toxic trading behaviour and will result in immediate and permanent disqualification from all accounts involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you hold opposing positions on the same instrument, the margin requirements for both positions are combined. For example, if you are long 1 lot of EURUSD and short 1 lot of EURUSD, the total margin is for 2 lots.

For more details, see Leverage and Margin Requirements.

Correlated instruments are those that tend to move together (positively correlated) or inversely (negatively correlated). Common examples include EURUSD and GBPUSD, or XAUUSD and silver.

No. Coordinated hedging with another user — whether on PipFarm or another prop firm — is considered toxic trading behaviour and will result in disqualification.

Copy trading is allowed only within your own accounts and subject to our guidelines. Opposing direction copying (i.e. hedging between accounts) is prohibited. See Copy Trading Guidelines.
