one direction only

 

The demo version of MT5 allows long OR short.

Is this just the demo?

Is it possible for non US brokers to implement MT5 as allowing long+short at same time?

If not - why was this a feature?

Mt5 was made to not allow hedging. I dont know wether brokers can alter it to allow hedging or metaquotes will claim copyright infringement. Anyway the best way to trade many styles has many stick to mt4.
