Prop Firms That Allow Hedging
29 of the 48 CFD firms publish a hedging policy — 15 allow it, 6 attach conditions and 8 ban it. The split is sharper here than for any other rule, and the carve-outs matter more than the headline. FunderPro allows hedging but prohibits it across accounts. FXIFY allows hedging but bans reverse and group hedging. Hantec Trader restricts hedging and bans multi-account hedging. City Traders Imperium bans group hedging specifically. What firms object to is generally not hedging inside a single account but coordinated hedging across accounts or between traders, which converts a challenge into a near-guaranteed payout at the firm's expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often, within one account. 15 of the 29 CFD firms publishing a policy allow hedging, 6 apply conditions and 8 prohibit it.
Opening opposing positions on the same instrument across two or more accounts, so one account passes while the other fails. Firms that allow ordinary hedging still ban this, because the loss is theirs and the payout is guaranteed.
This is prohibited at firms that ban cross-account hedging, and the ban usually extends to accounts held elsewhere or by another person. It is one of the rules most commonly enforced at payout review.
Group hedging means several traders coordinating opposing positions across accounts at the same firm. It is treated as a scheme rather than a strategy, which is why firms name it as its own rule even when hedging is otherwise permitted.
Rules change without notice and vary by account type. Confirm with the firm before you trade.
