is it only the metatrader software that allows the trader to go long and short at the same time?

what brokers will let you do this?

Thanks

Oanda allows you to have multiple accounts so you can long and short at the same time.
When I buy it, it moves down. When I sell it, it moves up.

Hedging is what my strategy is based on.
It works like a charm.
I've developed a HEDGING system that I have trade with for almost 4 years now and it works regardless of market conditions.

No mean to be rude, in pure trading purposes, hedging is of no difference with stop out / reopen, only gains a sort of self-cheating, cause it hides your horror and fear in accepting the reality - your mistakes.

If your strategy really works, it will be the same without hedging.

I don't take your post as being rude, but I do have to disagree with you.
You certainly cannot judge my strategy when you don't know what it is.
I'm not sure why or how you view hedging the way you do, unless you simply don't understand the benefits to doing it or even how to do it. Hedging is a PART of my strategy, so to say it would work without it does not make sense.
There are certainly many ways to trade......and for 4 years, I have used my hedging strategy with amazing results. My strategy works in all market conditions and has proven to be a success. Don't shut yourself out of possible ways to trade.....you may pass up the one system that really works for you.

Hi Forexcoach,

I'm very interesting in hedging system. I've been try this hedging system, but not profitable yet. The main problem to me is swap, and when should close the trade.
Could you share your strategy here ? It would be very nice.
thanks

Sorry. I guess I was taking the lazy approach. Also, I was at work when I posted the question, and couldn't call them.

of course hedging is possible. i think he will mean hedging in differnet currencies at same time not in same currency (like from starting statement).
in the same currency is hedging very useless. only paying 2 time the spread. you only have some additional possibilities of using tp and sl. but with some knowledge in programming you can do this without paying the double spread.

because of many bad programmers there are many bad hedging EA in the world. last week a saw a hedging EA with buy and sell of the most hedgeable Eur/usd and usd/chf, but after closing the position was reopened again. and the mostfunny think is this was a system the programmer would like to well for 100 dollar. funny funny

normaly the risk in hedging ea is not so high then in other ea, but ofcourse to win a lot of money you have to put in much more lots then in normal ea, so hedging normaly has less profit against normal profitable strategy.
