Many prop firms (like FTMO or Funding Pips) prohibit holding positions over the weekend or trading during high-impact news events on funded accounts. By opening an equal but opposite position on a correlated pair, you can temporarily "pause" your equity fluctuations, effectively bypassing these risks without closing your high-conviction trades.
Do not use hedging to exploit "latency arbitrage" or "platform freezing" across two different prop firm accounts. This is strictly forbidden by all prop firms and will result in an immediate payout denial and account termination. This calculator is strictly for intra-account risk management.
