What trading strategies are allowed?
Hedging Strategy for MetaTrader
Hedging involves opening two positions on the same asset in opposite directions (one buy, one sell). Clients under ASIC/FMA regulations are no longer permitted to hold hedged positions. We do not allow hedging positions.
Existing hedged trades will be in a Close-Only position, which means they either close one of the leg trades or use the Close-By function to close both hedged trades.
For more information about hedging, please check our Product Disclosure Statement.
Other trading strategies
High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
High-Frequency Trading (HFT) involves executing a very large number of orders in extremely short time frames, often using algorithms to capitalize on tiny price discrepancies. Axi does not accept High-Frequency Trading on our platform.
Short-term trading Strategy
Short-term trading is a practice where traders place a high volume of trades over very brief periods to capture small price movements. Because this involves rapid trading and frequent order activity, it can lead to increased transaction costs and higher risk exposure.
To help maintain fair and stable market conditions, some platforms monitor or restrict this behavior. Short-term trading is permitted on our standard trading platforms.
Arbitrage Strategy
Arbitrage is a trading strategy where traders profit from price differences of the same asset in different markets, buying low in one market and selling high in another simultaneously. Axi does not permit arbitrage strategies, and any trades identified as latency arbitrage will be cancelled.
Martingale Strategy
The Martingale strategy is a trading system in which the trade size is doubled after a loss to potentially recover previous losses. Axi permits the use of Martingale strategies on our platform.
