What about the commission?

If I have two open positions, one buy, one sell, and close the 'sell' by the 'buy' I have paid twice the commission. But I would have paid only once the commission if I just close the buy, isn't it?

But what if a broker isn't asking for a commission but has increased the spread? Don't I pay the spread twice as well?

I would imagine it is the same as MT4 - round trip commision. And same with the spread

Do you mean the two orders buy and sell are treated as if there were only one?

But I guess if you open both orders you'll see the commission for both orders and not 'half the commission'.

Or do you think if you close one by the other one commission is subtracted?

I would only be speculating Carl, as I was above. I'd suggest getting it straight from the horse's mouth (MQ) in a service desk ticket
 
This is ready to get rid of the MT4 baggage rhythm, huh?
 
MT5 can finally open hedge trading. When will the new version be available for download?
 
Unexpectedly, maybe now I should switch to new rails, because it is risky to work with pending orders.
 
Unfortunately the article doesn't say a word about the story, how the orders will be ordered, the transaction, how to look for what.

Meet MetaTrader 5 Beta - Locked Positions and New User Guide

MetaQuotes Software Corp., 2016.03.25 13:50

MetaTrader 5 beta build 1281 with locking system has been released. Unlike the previous netting system, the locking system allows for multiple trades, even reverse trades of the same instrument. Now, using the MetaTrader 5 public platform, you can use the netting mode for trading Forex instruments, as well as the locking mode for currency trading.

The new position system is similar to the widely known system used in MetaTrader 4. However, MetaTrader 5 also offers enhanced order management capabilities: filling of multi-trade orders, including partial fills. If a trader has a position in a trading instrument and executes a new trade, a new position is created. This is the core idea behind the MetaTrader 5 locking system. Traders can set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels and are able to set profit levels for each position.

Updated MetaTrader 5 Trading Platform with Position Locking System

We invite everyone to join the public test of our updated MetaTrader 5 multi-asset platform. To join the test, create a demo account on the MetaQuotes-Demo server and connect to it. The platform will be automatically updated to build 1281 and you will be able to create a demo account with the Locked Account System after setting the "Use locks in trading" option in the dialogue box. If you are sure that there is an error, please let us know via the mql5.com forum or by creating a helpdesk request.

Create a new lock-in demo account on MetaQuotes-Demo!

When testing, please consider the following:

  1. It is not possible to subscribe to trading signals via a locked account.
  2. Trading from new locked accounts only works properly with MetaTrader 5 build 1281 and later.
  3. Certain automated trades may have trading errors on locked accounts.
  4. Scripts, EA trades, and indicators compiled with the new MetaEditor build will not work on virtual servers.

In addition to locked positions, the MetaTrader 5 beta also features an updated user guide with numerous illustrations and video tutorials. Simply click F1 to get answers to most of your questions and enhance your knowledge of the platform.

With the updated MetaTrader 5, there is no longer a need to use different platforms to trade forex and stocks. It is now a one-stop trading solution for all types of financial markets.

Download the new beta version, experience all the new features and let us know the results of the test! With your help, we will make MetaTrader 5 even better!


 
Concerns!
 
Excellent idea!
As soon as there is a working release, I will look for a broker with MT5 hedge.
But there is a small problem, MT4 charts show time to the minute.
I looked at MT5 beta hedge charts, it's the same here, and this is not good.

Let me show you by example:
Here are three fragments, on the first one is a minute candle with an open position, time 15:30.



The second and third fragments show how the situation developed during this minute:
- firstly, 7 (seven!) non-standard bars were fully formed
- secondly, a Trade signal appeared and it allowed sending a Trade order to the server to set a pending order.
- on the next price movement the pending order was triggered and a position was opened.

And you can clearly see that the time on the chart, as if sleeping, on all seven bars the time is 15:30.

Of course, the time frame of the chart is non-standard, so what?
If the terminal allows to build it, then it should serve it correctly.
There are no hours or minutes on the daily bars, however their zero values are shown.
Bars of a non-standard chart are built to the accuracy of a second, so the time should be shown with the same accuracy.
Or am I wrong?

On MT4, most likely, this will not be eliminated, but MT5 hedge is at the very beginning of the way, to miss such a problem, it is necessary to try very hard.
