Trading short and long simultaneously

[576]

i was looking to trade both short and long in app. So added a buy position to hedge over the short term but the trade resulted in the expose to my short position being reduced. Is It possible to avoid this and run multiple trade simultaneously

Hi @576

You would need to use the 'Force Open' feature which allows you to hedge. If 'Net Off' is selected than your buy order would close the already existing short position. You can find this feature on the Trade/Deal ticket when placing a trade. 

All the best, OfentseIG

You must be switched on when doing this because you can accidently close out the wrong position. .

before you fire the trigger take two seconds and check you have the correct short or long possition and ensure you have the force open clicked on. Be carefull.....
