Am I able to take hedging positions?

Hedging within a single account is fine — hedging across accounts to eliminate risk is not. Here’s exactly where the line sits.

1

Hedging within your own account

You have the freedom to open long and short positions simultaneously on the same market within a single account.

2

What’s not allowed

Taking opposite positions across multiple accounts is considered cheating and is strictly prohibited. The account(s) involved will be closed without a refund.

Example: opening a long position on EURUSD on one account and a short position on EURUSD on another account counts as opposite positions and is not permitted.
