Is hedging allowed?
Updated
No, hedging is strictly prohibited. This includes:
- Hedging within the same trading account.
- Hedging between multiple accounts owned by the same trader.
- Hedging between accounts owned by different traders.
- Hedging between a GoatFundedTrader (GFT) account another Firm’s account, either if the two accounts are owned by the same person or by two different people.
Hedging is defined as opening two opposite positions on the same asset, regardless of lot size or calculated risk. This rule is in place to maintain fair and transparent trading practices and to protect the integrity of our trading environment.
If we detect any hedging activity—especially between a GFT account and an external firm—the account will be breached immediately, and the user will be permanently banned from our platform. In the case of a Simulated Funded Account, the trader will not be eligible for any rewards.
