How To Check If Your Account Is Hedging Correctly

In this guide, we'll show you how to verify that your account is hedging correctly using TitanX. Ensuring your hedge account is working as expected is crucial for proper risk management and trading. Follow these steps to check for common issues and validate your settings.

1. Check the Green Check Mark:

   • Ensure that your connection status shows a green check mark. If it’s green, your account is connected and hedging is enabled.

2. If the Connection Status is Disconnected:

   • Hedge on Real Account Setting:
     • Go to your TitanX settings and check that Hedge on Real Account is set to True. If this setting is False, the connection will show as disconnected.
   • Magic Number Mismatch:
     • The Magic Number on both accounts must match. If there is a mismatch, TitanX will show the connection as disconnected.
     • Verify that the Magic Number is the same for both the master and hedge accounts.
       
       

1. Verify Trade Timing and Direction:

   • Open the Toolbox window in MetaTrader 5 (MT5). If it’s not visible, go to View > Toolbox.
   • Check the trade history on your master account and hedge account to ensure trades are being entered and exited at the same time but in opposite directions.
   • For example, if the master account shows buy trades, the hedge account should show sell trades at the same time.

2. Adjust Column Visibility:

   • To see more details in the Toolbox window, right-click on the window, go to Columns, and uncheck any unnecessary columns.
     
     

1. Common Causes of Missing Trades:

   • Validation Issues:
     • If trades are missing, it could be due to a validation issue. Contact TitanX live chat support for help with any validation problems.
   • Account or Broker Issues:
     • If the issue is with either the master or hedge account, you can place a micro lot trade (e.g., 0.01 lot) to test if trading is functioning correctly.

2. Perform a Micro Trade Test:

   • Place a small trade on both the master and hedge accounts to verify that trades are being executed correctly.
   • If trades are placed successfully, the issue is likely resolved.
     
     

1. Check Account Progress:

   • Compare the Prop Account Progress and Live Account Progress. Ensure that the progress between these accounts is within 10% of each other.
   • For example, if one account shows a progress difference of 5, that’s considered acceptable.

2. Investigate Discrepancies Greater Than 10%:

   • If the difference is greater than 10%, review your settings or start balance. An incorrect setting or balance could cause a discrepancy.
   • Refer to separate articles for detailed instructions on how to check these settings.
     
     

By following these steps, you can verify if your TitanX account is hedging properly. Checking the connection status, ensuring trade history alignment, and resolving any discrepancies are crucial for smooth trading. If any issues arise, performing test trades and contacting live chat support will help resolve them quickly.

If the account progress difference exceeds 10%, be sure to review the settings to ensure everything is configured correctly.
