Is hedging allowed on Match-Trader accounts during challenge and live trading phases?

Hedging is permitted on Match-Trader accounts, but it cannot be your exclusive strategy throughout the challenge phase or live account. If your account is found to be exclusively hedging, you may be asked to provide the EA used (if applicable).

Important rules:

• MT5: Hedging is not allowed on MT5 at all.
• Reverse hedging across accounts: Opening opposite positions on the same pair simultaneously across two separate accounts is not allowed, regardless of the opening time of each trade. However, if the first position is fully closed before the opposite position is opened on the other account, this is permitted.
