Is hedging (opposite trades) allowed?

7 сарын өмнө шинэчлэгдсэн

On iTrader’s Challenge and Live accounts, it is strictly prohibited to create two or more accounts and place opposite trades between them.
Hedging is only allowed within a single account.

What is considered "opposite trading" (hedging)?


Opposite trading refers to placing trades in opposite directions at the same time.

Example (Prohibited):

Opening a BUY trade on EUR/USD in one account

Then opening a SELL trade on EUR/USD in another account at the same time
→ This is not allowed.

What is allowed?


You are allowed to open opposite trades within the same trading account.
This method is called “hedging” and is recognized as a legitimate trading strategy.

Example (Allowed):
On the same account, opening both BUY and SELL positions on EUR/USD simultaneously

What is prohibited?

Opening opposite trades on the same trading pair across two different accounts (either two Challenge accounts or a Challenge and a Live account you own).

If such activity is detected, all your accounts may be terminated, your challenges forfeited, and your registration permanently blocked.
