Hedging within a single account is permitted. Hedge Mode is enabled by default on both the evaluation and funded account. This allows you to hold both a long and short position on the same asset simultaneously within the same account.
What's not allowed:
Cross-account hedging — Opening opposite positions on the same or closely correlated assets across multiple accounts (funded, evaluation, or any combination).
Cross-trader hedging — Coordinating with another trader to take opposite sides of the same or correlated assets across your respective accounts. This includes sharing signals, strategies, or timing to engineer a guaranteed profit between accounts.
Copy trading across users — Copying trades between different users' accounts is also prohibited.
Cross-account hedging is strictly prohibited. This means opening opposing positions on the same asset, or on assets that are closely correlated enough to function as an economic offset, across two or more accounts in any combination. This applies regardless of whether the accounts are held under the same or different names, email addresses, or identities.
Cross-trader hedging is also strictly prohibited. This covers two or more traders coordinating to open opposing positions across their respective accounts, including through shared signals, strategies, timing, or infrastructure, where the intent or effect is to engineer a guaranteed or near-guaranteed profit across those accounts.
Breakout monitors trading activity on both the evaluation and funded account and evaluates timing, entry prices, notional values, position sizes, and overall exposure patterns to identify prohibited hedging. Determinations are made at Breakout's sole discretion.
A confirmed violation will result in immediate termination of all associated accounts, forfeiture of all accrued profits, and permanent suspension from our services. A first-time inadvertent violation may receive a formal warning at Breakout's discretion. Any deliberate or repeated violation will not.
