DislikedHow do you figure, you can still close each entry separately, if you sell against your open overall long position then your first trades will be taken off first, but you can still close any single entry at any time, nothing has changed except you can not be long and short the same pair in a single account.
Your hedging is not a TAF rescueIgnored
DislikedScouts will always be killed forcedly if this goes into efffect. "First in first out" will disrupt attacks and rescues. I think they are aiming at much more than this. All martingales and grids will be disrupted by this rule too.Ignored

DislikedHi ALL,
Sorry that I have not been active in the Trading Room. I had been very engaged at my thread at the common area, as well as some other personal chores.

And hiding actual losses by masking them as unrealised losses.Ignored

less we are talking options. like i said, i dun even know why the call it hedging in the first place. imo this thing exists coz the broker want to earn spreads from you. Id rather call it the, "you just gave the broker a 4pip trade off." heheh
