Are Hedging and Martingale Strategies Allowed?

Rules on Hedging and Martingale Strategies

At Fundex Plus, we encourage responsible trading practices and professional risk management.


Hedging

Hedging within the same account is permitted, provided it is used responsibly as part of a legitimate trading strategy.

✅ Allowed:

  • Opening buy and sell positions within the same account

  • Using hedging as part of a structured risk management approach

❌ Not Allowed:

  • Hedging across multiple accounts

  • Opening opposite positions on separate accounts to offset risk

  • Using multiple accounts to create risk-free outcomes

  • Coordinated hedging between different traders or accounts

Any attempt to manipulate platform rules, account performance, or evaluation outcomes through cross-account hedging may result in account disqualification.


Martingale

Martingale strategies are strictly prohibited.

Martingale refers to any trading approach that systematically increases position size after losses with the objective of recovering previous drawdown through progressively larger trades.

Examples include:

  • Doubling position size after a losing trade

  • Aggressively increasing risk following losses

  • Recovery systems designed to regain losses through escalating exposure

These strategies expose accounts to excessive risk and do not align with the professional risk management standards expected at Fundex Plus.


Why Is Martingale Prohibited?

Fundex Plus is designed to identify traders who can demonstrate:

  • Consistent profitability

  • Controlled risk management

  • Professional trading behavior

  • Long-term sustainability

Martingale-based systems rely on increasing risk rather than improving trading performance and are therefore not compatible with our evaluation standards.

Traders are encouraged to use disciplined position sizing and maintain consistent risk parameters throughout both evaluation and funded phases. 🚀
