Alpha Capital allows hedging, which it defines as running trades in both directions on the same instrument at the same time. However, <strong>hedging across two Alpha Capital accounts is a prohibited strategy<\/strong>, and correlated instruments may be counted when cross account hedging is analysed. Additionally, hedging that aims to lock in a price or spread arbitrage will result in closure of the account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(140px, 1fr));

font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Alpha Capital defines hedging as trades running in both directions on the same instrument at the same time. So a long and a short can sit side by side on the same asset. Stacking is fine too, meaning 3 or more open trades on one instrument.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">The limit is cross account. The firm reviews your positions across accounts, and correlated instruments can count. As a result, opposite exposure split over two accounts can be caught, even when neither account hedges on its own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">The rule sits in the general trading rules, not a plan specific section. Therefore it reads the same on 1 Step (Alpha One), 2 Step (Alpha Pro), 3 Step (Alpha Three) and 2 Step (Alpha Swing).<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">\n<span style=\"width: 26px; height: 3px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg, #2563eb, #93c5fd); display: inline-block;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0;\">What Counts as a Breach at Alpha Capital<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Two things turn an allowed hedge into a breach. Firstly, hedging to lock in a price or a spread arbitrage is a prohibited strategy and, according to the help centre, closes the account. Secondly, hedging across two Alpha Capital accounts is prohibited, and reverse trading and group hedging sit on the same list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">The consequence depends on severity. Alpha Capital classes violations as soft or hard breaches. As a result, some end the account, and the most serious lead to a ban from the platform and from funding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Additionally, profits from invalid trades or an entire payout window can be removed and the remaining payout postponed. Ultimately every passed evaluation stays subject to review, so a hedge that looks fine during the challenge can still be examined later.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Overall, Alpha Capital is a comfortable firm for traders who hedge as part of a genuine strategy on one account, and an uncomfortable one for anyone thinking about spreading opposite exposure across a portfolio of accounts. In short, keep the hedge inside a single account, keep the intent directional rather than arbitrage driven, and the rule stays on your side. By contrast, the published position on hedging against a position held at a different firm or a different broker is not addressed anywhere in the official documentation, so anyone running that structure should confirm it with Alpha Capital directly before relying on it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">\n<span style=\"width: 26px; height: 3px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg, #2563eb, #93c5fd); display: inline-block;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0;\">Related Pages<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid rgba(37,99,235,0.28); border-radius: 14px; background: rgba(10,14,34,0.55); overflow: hidden; margin: 16px 0 30px;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/does-alpha-capital-have-a-consistency-rule\/\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 14px 18px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(148,163,184,0.12);\"><span style=\"width: 8px; height: 8px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#2563eb,#93c5fd); flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #dbe4ff; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;\">Alpha Capital Consistency Rule<\/span><span style=\"margin-left: auto; color: #60a5fa; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold;\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/alpha-capital-news-trading-rule\/\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 14px 18px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(148,163,184,0.12);\"><span style=\"width: 8px; height: 8px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#2563eb,#93c5fd); flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #dbe4ff; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;\">Alpha Capital News Trading Rule<\/span><span style=\"margin-left: auto; color: #60a5fa; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold;\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/is-copy-trading-allowed-at-alpha-capital\/\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 14px 18px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(148,163,184,0.12);\"><span style=\"width: 8px; height: 8px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#2563eb,#93c5fd); flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #dbe4ff; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;\">Alpha Capital Copy Trading<\/span><span style=\"margin-left: auto; color: #60a5fa; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold;\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/alpha-capital-scaling-plan\/\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 14px 18px; text-decoration: none;\"><span style=\"width: 8px; height: 8px; border-radius: 2px; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#2563eb,#93c5fd); flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #dbe4ff; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;\">Alpha Capital Scaling Plan<\/span><span style=\"margin-left: auto; color: #60a5fa; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold;\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#128073; Learn more details and get exclusive discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/alpha-capital\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Capital Prop Firm Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(37,99,235,0.7) 0%, rgba(96,165,250,0.55) 55%, rgba(203,213,225,0.45) 100%); border-radius: 16px; padding: 1px; margin-top: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(160deg, #0a0f22 0%, #0e1a3d 100%); border-radius: 15px; padding: 26px 22px; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #ffffff; margin: 0 0 16px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\">Unlock Your Discount with Alpha Capital<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/alpha-capital\/\"><br \/>\n<button style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #1d4ed8 0%, #3b82f6 100%); color: #ffffff; padding: 12px 26px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; box-shadow: 0 4px 18px rgba(37,99,235,0.5); font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.02em;\">Get Discount<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(10,14,34,0.55); border: 1px solid rgba(37,99,235,0.22); border-radius: 14px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 14px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff;\">Is hedging allowed at Alpha Capital?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 14.5px; line-height: 1.7;\">Yes.
