Hedging is permitted and defined as maintaining trades in both directions for the same instrument simultaneously. This means having both long (buy) and short (sell) positions open concurrently for the same asset within the same account. Hedging with the aim to lock in a price/spread arbitrage is a prohibited trading strategy and will result in the forfeit of your account. Hedging across 2 separate evaluation accounts is also prohibited and will result in the forfeit of both accounts.
