Hedge Guard makes sure your followers never hold the opposite position to your leader. Many prop firms don't allow hedging across accounts, and a follower going the other way loses money when your leader wins.
What it does
A follower is hedged when it's in the opposite direction to your leader. For example, your leader is long and a follower is short.
When Hedge Guard detects a hedged follower, it closes that follower's position.
How a follower can end up hedged
A manual trade on the follower in the opposite direction
A missed exit on the follower, followed by a new leader trade the other way
Rejected orders or broker delays that put the follower out of sync
Example
Your leader is long 2 NQ.
A follower is short 2 NQ after a manual trade.
Hedge Guard detects it and closes the follower's short.
Hedge Guard vs. Follower Protection
Follower Protection: your leader is flat, and a follower is still in a trade.
Hedge Guard: your leader is in a trade, and a follower is in the opposite direction.
Use both for full protection.
