How it works:
Allowed: Opening both long and short positions on the same account (or correlated instruments) as part of your risk management.
Not allowed:
Hedging across multiple Finotive accounts (e.g., long EURUSD in one, short EURUSD in another).
Hedging with external accounts at other prop firms or brokers (also known as reverse trading).
Why we allow account hedging but ban reverse trading:
Account-level hedging is a valid professional risk tool.
Cross-account and external hedging create fake performance and undermine fairness.
We actively monitor for this behaviour and even work with other firms to detect it.
Consequences:
Any trader caught reverse trading will be banned immediately.
Accounts involved will be closed with no payout.
Benefits for you:
A level playing field — you don’t have to compete against manipulative tactics.
Confidence that the payout pool is protected from unfair exploitation.
Clear, transparent rules so you know exactly what’s allowed.
