Yes, FXTRADING.com allows hedging on the MT5 platform. You can open both long and short positions in the same market simultaneously. Additionally, MT5 offers flexibility with its account modes.
Hedging on MT5:
You can open a long position and a short position on the same instrument at the same time
For example, if you have a long position of one lot on EUR/USD, you can hedge by opening a short position of one lot on the same currency pair
Both positions will remain open independently until you decide to close either one
This allows you to protect against market volatility while maintaining your original position
MT5 Account Modes:
Hedging Mode: The default mode that allows multiple positions of the same symbol in opposite directions
Netting Mode: An optional mode that combines multiple orders into a single trade, calculating the net position
For example, if you have 1 lot long and open 0.5 lots short, your position becomes 0.5 lots long
This mode may be preferred by traders who want simplified position management
To switch between modes, please contact our Service Hub as this setting needs to be configured at the account level.
Hedging can be a valuable risk management strategy during uncertain market conditions or when you anticipate short-term price movements against your main position.
