Hedging is being eliminated as a strategy by the CFTC and the NFA?!?

 
What the hell? I've spent over a year perfecting my hedging strategy - now, they want me to trade naked, uni-directional positions? Does anyone know of a broker that will continue to provide in-account, in-currency offsetting positions?

hedging the same symbol is going to be affected, i.e. long eurusd, short eurusd


Other hedges are still legal, i.e long eurusd short gbpusd


Depends on your trading system

 

Is there the possibility to open a second account and run long and short trades on the same cross on different accounts?

Is it possible to run 2 different accounts on the same platform?

Thank you!

This is a chnge in regulations in the US should not effect European or other off shore brokers
