  • Rakuten Securities Bullion has no relationship with any EA developer nor EA provider. The EA function is not supported by Rakuten Securities Bullion.
  • Rakuten Securities Bullion bears no responsibility whatsoever for the outcome of such trading. Clients agree to accept full responsibility for the use of EA.

#In case of hedging trade, the required margin on the larger amount side (Sell or Buy) will be applied. For example, if you have 1 contract of open position (Buy side) on XAU/USD and 10 contract of open position (Sell side) on XAU/USD at the same time, required margin of Sell side will be applied.

Although it is available to leverage Hedging, it is not recommended to leverage this since it is not efficient.
