If you want Hedging, XM is designed for you.

Hedging is a term to talk about the execution of symmetry trading: buy and sell at the same time. However, we highly recommend new traders should follow the trend to minimize the risk.

Currently, XM is considered the best broker for hedging. It has an execution called “Close by”, allow traders to close to 2 reverse executions of the same product at once. It will help traders to save a spread. However, you need to be aware that 2 executions have to be closed at the same time, for example, the buy to be closed together with the sell, and vice versa, the sell to be closed together with the buy, in only such cases, you can use “close by”.

Besides “close by”, XM can also provide another execution, compatible with both MT4 and MT5, that is “Multiple close by”, allows traders close multiple reverse executions at the same time. For example, you have 2 symmetry execution, you can use “Multiple close by” to close all the execution and save the spread for others compared to when you use multiple normal executions.
