No. Hedging is prohibited on every MILTRADERS account, challenge and funded.
What counts as hedging
Hedging means holding a long position and a short position at the same time on instruments from the same Product Group — whether in a single account, across several of your accounts, or in coordination with another trader.
MILTRADERS Product Groups
Product Group | Instruments |
Equity Index | ES, MES, NQ, MNQ |
Metals | GC, MGC |
Energy | CL, MCL |
Mini and Micro contracts belong to the same group. Contract size does not matter: long MES / short NQ is a hedge.
Examples
Prohibited (same group):
Long NQ and short NQ
Long NQ and short MNQ
Long NQ and short ES
Long GC and short MGC
Long CL on one account and short CL on another
Allowed (different groups, same account):
Long GC and short NQ
Long CL and short ES
Opposite positions across different accounts are prohibited whenever both instruments belong to the same group, regardless of who owns the accounts.
Grace period
You have 10 seconds to close a conflicting position before it is flagged. This covers execution mistakes (a stop that flips your position, a wrong-way order). Positions held in opposite directions beyond 10 seconds are treated as hedging.
What happens if hedging is detected
Our system detects hedging automatically and notifies you by email.
First violation: all profits made on that trading day are cancelled on every account involved.
Repeated violations: the accounts involved are closed and you may be banned from MILTRADERS.
If you realise you have opened opposite positions by mistake, close one side immediately — do not wait for the notification.
