Dear Valued Customer,
We will be introducing Intraday Hedging into the demo accounts on Dec 10th, with plans to introduce Intraday Hedging to the live accounts on or around Dec 20th. What this means to your account:
- You will be able to place both long and short orders in the same currency pair during the course of the day.
- Just before swap at approximately 5 pm Eastern Time if you are still in your hedge, the trades will be netted out, please see the example below.
We recommend that you test your experts and trading strategies that use hedging thoroughly on a demo account before using them on your live account.
