Inside Trade Master 9.
Both order accounting systems are supported: the traditional netting system and the hedging option system.
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.
Ask two traders how many positions they hold in EUR/USD and you can get two answers that are both correct, because a trading mobile app for operations in the Forex and exchange markets can count positions in two different ways. Hedging keeps each position separate: buy one lot, sell one lot, and you hold two positions that can be managed and closed independently. Netting combines them: the same two operations leave you flat, with the history showing how you got there.
Neither system is an accident of software design. Hedging grew up in Forex, where traders routinely run several positions in one pair, sometimes in opposite directions, as a way of scaling in or holding a view through noise. Netting is the exchange convention, where a single net position per instrument is the standard the venue and the clearing process expect. Trade Master 9 supports both, which is why the same terminal suits a currency trader and an exchange trader without either of them working around the other's conventions.
The practical consequence shows up the first time you open a second position in an instrument you already hold. Under hedging you now have two lines to manage, each with its own stop. Under netting you have one line and a new average price. A strategy written for one behaves very differently under the other, which is why the accounting system is worth confirming before you build anything on top of it.
Because the accounting system belongs to the account rather than to a setting you toggle, this is a question for your broker when you open it. The rest of the trading system — order types, execution modes and Market Depth — works the same either way. The home page covers the app in full.
Both order accounting systems are supported: the traditional netting system and the hedging option system.
Trade Master 9 supports both order accounting systems: netting, used on exchanges, and hedging, used in Forex.
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.
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.
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.
Three short notes on how this works day to day.
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.
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.
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.
How trading system sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.
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.
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.
