Is Hedging Allowed at FundedX?
The Simple Answer
Yes, on a single account. FundedX allows hedging within one account, so you can hold opposite buy and sell positions on the same instrument together. However, hedging across multiple accounts is prohibited.
What Is Allowed and What Is Not
How Hedging Works at FundedX
FundedX keeps the boundary simple. A hedge held inside one account is treated as legitimate risk management, so opposite positions on the same instrument can sit together as long as they share a single account. Therefore a same account hedge is not the target of the rule.
The prohibition applies across accounts. Specifically, opposite positions on the same instrument spread over two accounts are prohibited. As a result, netting exposure across accounts falls outside the rules.
In practice the intent matters. Moreover, a hedge that stays on one account and manages a genuine position is what the rule is designed to allow, while a coordinated offset across accounts is what it is designed to stop.
What Counts as a Breach at FundedX
Cross account hedging is the breach. Inter account hedging is prohibited, alongside grid trading and account transfers.
By contrast, a hedge kept inside one account is permitted and does not breach on its own. Ultimately the safe path is to hold both legs on the same account and avoid coordinating opposite positions across accounts.
Final Comments
Overall, FundedX is comfortable with single account hedging and firm against anything spread across accounts. In short, keep both legs on one account and the hedge stays compliant, while cross account hedging is prohibited. In short, keep the hedge on one account, since FundedX permits same account hedging but rules out any hedge spread across accounts.
