Do you allow hedging?

Yes, you are free to hedge positions on any of your MT5 trading accounts, but not between two different accounts. Hedging means opening a long and short position on the same instrument at the same time.

When you hedge trades, margin is required for both sides to meet regulatory requirements. For example, if your account currency is AUD and you open a long and short position of 1.5 standard lots (150,000 units) on AUDUSD, 10,000 AUD will be collected as margin (5,000 AUD for each position, based on a 3.33% margin rate).
