Hedging Strategy for MetaTrader accounts

Axi permits both partial and full hedging strategies via the MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) trading platform. This allows for two transactions in opposite directions within the same instrument and is deemed a hedged transaction. When holding open bought and sold transactions in the same instrument, the transactions will be charged at half of the standard margin requirement. 

For more information about hedging, refer to our Product Schedule. 

Hedging Strategy for the Axi Trading Platform 

Hedging is current currently NOT permitted via the Axi Trading Platform. If you attempt to hedge via Axi Trading platform, your positions will be netted off. For example, if you hold a long/buy position of 0.04 lots and then open a short/sell position of 0.04 lots on the same market, the platform will automatically close these positions as they cancel each other out (i.e., +0.04 - 0.04 = 0.00). 

For more information or assistance, please contact our support team directly through the Axi Trading Platform application. 

Other trading strategies 

High-Frequency Trading (HTF) 

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) involves executing a very large number of orders in extremely short time frames, often using algorithms to capitalize on tiny price discrepancies. Axi does not accept High-Frequency Trading on our platform. 

Short-term trading Strategy 

Short-term trading is a practice where traders place a high volume of trades over very brief periods to capture small price movements. Because this involves rapid trading and frequent order activity, it can lead to increased transaction costs and higher risk exposure. 

To help maintain fair and stable market conditions, some platforms monitor or restrict this behavior. While short-term trading is permitted on our standard trading platforms, please note that it is not allowed on Axi Select accounts. 

Arbitrage Strategy 

Arbitrage is a trading strategy where traders seek to profit from price differences of the same asset in different markets, buying low in one market and selling high in another simultaneously. Axi does not permit arbitrage strategies, and any trades identified as latency arbitrage will be cancelled. 

Martingale Strategy 

The Martingale strategy is a trading system in which the trade size is doubled after a loss to potentially recover previous losses. Axi permits the use of Martingale strategies on our platform.
