What is hedging in prop trading?

Hedging involves holding a buy and sell position simultaneously — on the same or correlated instruments — to manage or reduce directional risk.

Why do some firms ban hedging?

Some firms ban cross-account hedging specifically, which involves two accounts held with the same firm taking opposite sides of the same trade to guarantee a pass on one.

Is hedging the same as grid trading?

They are related but distinct. Hedging offsets directional risk. Grid trading involves placing multiple orders at defined intervals regardless of direction.
