Netting - Pending, SL, TP

1 min. readlast update: 06.07.2024

Brokers often offer 2 types of account: Netting (FIFO) and Hedging. The Trade Copier supports the 2 types.

The Trade Copier will copy the trades according to the account type, but there are additional considerations which you need to bear in mind. Netting accounts is where there is a single position per symbol, rather than hedging accounts which have separate tickets for each buy and sell. It means that trades are not segregated, the trades are sum up and you cannot have a long and short position at the same time. This makes impossible to copy and host Pending order, SL and TP to/from a Netting account in a relevant way.

However, please note that it should not be an issue, as soon as a Limit, Stop, SL or TP is triggered, it will send a relevant market order. You will always have the same position, but the way it is triggered is different.
