Holding both long and short trades simultaneously—known as hedging—is a strategy used by traders to manage risk, capitalize on market fluctuations, or exploit different time frames.

What Is a Long and Short Trade?

Long trade: Buying an asset expecting its price to rise.

Short trade: Selling an asset you don't own, expecting its price to fall.

How Can You Hold Both?

1. Hedging Strategy: Traders open a long position on one asset and a short position on the same or correlated asset to protect against market swings.

2. Different Time Frames: A trader might go long for a long-term trend but short for short-term pullbacks.

3. Using Different Accounts or Brokers: Some brokers restrict simultaneous long and short trades on the same asset. Traders often use different platforms or sub-accounts to bypass this.

4. Synthetic Positions: Using options (e.g., buying a call and a put) to simulate long and short exposure.
