Definition
Hedging (restriction)
Holding offsetting positions — same-account hedging is often allowed; cross-account or cross-firm hedging is banned.
Hedging EUR/USD long and short in the same account is a strategy question. Hedging a challenge account against another account (yours or an accomplice's) turns the evaluation into a coin-flip you win either way — firms treat it as fraud.
Group 'pass services' that hedge customers against each other are the industrial version, and firms actively hunt the pattern.
