Hedge trading - all accounts

The rule: You may not hold opposing positions on the same instrument at the same time, including across separate Traderscale accounts, where used to offset exposure or exploit pricing inefficiencies.

Example of a breach

  • 14:00 — Account A: buy XAUUSD 2.0 lots

  • 14:02 — Account B: sell XAUUSD 2.0 lots

Net exposure is zero. One account books a gain and the other a loss whichever way price moves. Splitting the hedge across accounts doesn't change the finding.

Common question — the positions were opened minutes apart, not simultaneously. The review considers overlap, purpose, timing, instrument and account activity. It isn't limited to positions opened in the same second.

What may be reviewed: direction, entry and close times, overlap, exposure, activity across all your accounts.

Possible outcome: profit adjustment, payout rejection, or account breach.
