Hedging configuration
On this page, you can configure various hedging parameters. These parameters can be applied universally, to all traders and instruments across the platform, or individually.
Hedging parameters overview
On the Hedging configuration page, you can configure the following hedging parameters:
Hedge Ratio (Buy)
If you don’t need to hedge the entire amount of buy orders, specify the percentage of it to be hedged.
Hedge Ratio (Sell)
If you don’t need to hedge the entire amount of sell orders, specify the percentage of it to be hedged.
Min Order Amount
If you don’t need to hedge small-volume orders, specify the minimum volume at which orders start being hedged automatically.
Max Order Amount
If you don’t need to hedge big-volume orders, specify the maximum volume at which orders stop being hedged automatically.
Hedge with Symbol
Specify this parameter to hedge orders with a different instrument than the ones being traded.
Split Size
You can hedge an order in equal portions across all selected hedging platforms.
To do this, specify the minimum amount at which hedging orders must be split.
Min Notional Amount
Use this option to specify the minimum volume at which orders start being hedged automatically.
This value is defined in the quote currency, as opposed to the Min Order Amount option where the threshold is defined in the base currency.
