The ability to hold multiple open positions in the same market in opposite directions at the same time. By default, cTrader accounts are hedging accounts, meaning you can open several positions on the same symbol — including simultaneous longs and shorts — and manage each position individually. (In contrast, a netting account would merge or offset positions.) Hedging is useful for strategies that require independent trades on one instrument without automatically closing each other out. cTrader’s platform fully supports hedging, allowing, for example, one EUR/USD buy position and one sell position to coexist separately.
