Do US forex accounts allow hedging?

do any american acct.s forex allow hedging? can americans open an acct. overseas and hedge?

i believe you are not using hedging in its correct term.

you mean have open short and long positions in the currency at the same time?

then no, US brokers have a FIFO system (first in first out)

as far as real hedging, sure, you can hedge, on options, on spot, on etf, on correlated currencies, on gold,

norway than. watching a acct. make 400 pips a week, but hedging is required. of course they won't let us do it here, there won't be successful anything in the us real soon.. here we come greece

hey kara...... some people consider having an open eurusd short and an open eurusd long at the same time a hedge.....

clinically speakin, this is allowed in the states but it would require 2 accounts..... an individual can have opposing trades just not in the same account..... if using ea's, the accounts don't have to be linked but ea's using opposing trades must be rewritten in a manner that the opposed trade is a 'faux' trade known only to the ea itself.....

ibfx has a work around to the fifo issue..... it works perfectly......

my trades close only when i close them, without any interference with fifo rules and sometimes i might have opposing trades in separate accounts....h
