Netting and
Hedging.

Forex and exchange market operations are counted differently, and this trading mobile app supports both systems rather than picking one.

Both order accounting systems are supported: the traditional netting system and the hedging option system.

Trading System

Netting and Hedging.

Trade Master 9 supports both order accounting systems: netting, used on exchanges, and hedging, used in Forex.

Hedging

The hedging method allows opening multiple positions of the same financial instrument, of opposite or same direction. This feature is widely used in Forex trading.

Netting

Trade Master 9 also supports the netting system, which is adopted on exchange markets, where positions in one instrument are combined into a single net position.

One platform, either model

Because both are built in, the same terminal serves a Forex trader running several positions in one pair and an exchange trader holding one net position.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

The difference becomes obvious the first time you open a second position in the same instrument. Under hedging you now hold two positions that can be managed separately; under netting they merge, and your average price moves instead.

Worth knowing

The accounting system is a property of the account rather than a setting you flip mid-session, so it is worth confirming which one your broker account uses before you build a strategy around holding opposing positions.

Who it is for

Anyone trading both currencies and exchange-traded instruments should read this, along with traders whose strategy depends on holding opposite positions at the same time.

Context

Where This Fits.

How trading system sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.

The trading system in full

The platform delivers Market Depth and separate accounting of orders and trades, supporting both the traditional netting system and the hedging option system. Four execution modes — Instant, Request, Market and Exchange — cover different trading objectives, and every order type is available: 2 market order types, 6 pending order types, 2 stop orders and trailing stop.

Good to know

TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
