With this release, B2TRADER enables a new Netting account type. It intelligently consolidates all orders placed on the same market into a single position. Previously, the system supported only Hedging, where each order opens a separate position.
Key points of netting
Reduced margin requirements: Instead of calculating margin requirements separately for each position, netting combines them, lowering overall capital needs.
Lower trading costs: By holding opposing positions, traders often incur double position swaps. Netting treats these positions as one, reducing unnecessary costs.
Streamlined position management: Managing multiple positions manually can become complicated, especially when balancing between different trade sizes, directions, leverages and margin requirements. Netting helps with it by combining positions into a single one.
Netting VS Hedging
Netting may sometimes lack the flexibility required for complex hedging strategies. In contrast, hedging excels by allowing traders to hold both long and short positions simultaneously without offsetting them. This enhances the ability to track and adjust individual trades easily while permitting precise margin management for separate positions.
The Hedging type is perfectly suited for traders seeking detailed control over their positions. On the other hand, the Netting type ensures simplicity and reduced margin requirements, making it the perfect choice for straightforward trading strategies.
Workflow changes
When opening a new trading account, you must now choose its type: either Hedging or Netting. This choice is permanent and influences all future trades in the account.
In the account selection interface, each account displays its type: H for Hedging or N for Netting. All existing accounts are automatically assigned to the Hedging type.
With this release, you now have enhanced control over the viewing experience:
Configuring widget columns: Certain widgets allow you to configure widget columns in a way that best suits your needs, offering you the flexibility to select which columns you wish to display or hide. Additionally, you can arrange the order of these columns for your convenience, ensuring that the information you prioritize is always at your fingertips.
Rearranging widget tabs: All widgets now feature drag-and-drop functionality for rearranging tabs effortlessly. This user-friendly feature offers a more customized and organized interface, making it easier than ever to personalize your widget experience.
The Order book widget has been upgraded with new customizable settings. This update introduces intuitive controls, empowering you to adjust the widget view according to your preference:
Full view: Shows both buy and sell orders along with the market spread.
Buy only view: Displays only buy orders and the market spread.
Sell only view: Displays only sell orders and the market spread.
There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.
With this release, the following new triggers for open positions have been implemented on the platform:
Take profit: A take-profit trigger is used to close a position automatically once the market hits a predefined price, ensuring the trader locks in profits.
Stop loss: A stop-loss order is a trigger to limit potential losses. It automatically closes a position when its price changes to a predetermined level.
Trailing stop: A trailing-stop order allows a trader to set a Stop price that dynamically adjusts as the market price moves. It's different from a regular stop-loss order because the Stop price isn't stationary but follows the market price by a specified value. When the asset price moves favorably, the Stop price updates, securing potential gains. However, if the price falls, the Stop price stays fixed to protect profits or limit losses.
These settings can be used when trading on CFD markets and can be applied to Market, Limit, and Stop orders, as well as for currently open positions.
There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.
With this release, we're excited to announce the support for CFD (Contract for Difference) trading on our brokerage platform.
This empowers you to trade with dynamic leverage, using your funds as collateral to secure positions confidently. Enjoy the flexibility to go both long and short, capitalizing on both bullish and bearish markets.
