# MetaTrader 5 iOS build 1261 with hedging available on the App Store

## The new MetaTrader 5 for iPhone/iPad features hedging. This means that you can open opposite directed positions on a single currency pair

31 March 2016

The new [MetaTrader 5 for iPhone/iPad](https://download.terminal.free/cdn/mobile/mt5/ios?hl=en&utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaign=metaquotes.download) features hedging. This means that you can open opposite directed positions on a single currency pair.

Create a hedge account to access the position accounting system that is well known from MetaTrader 4. The system allows you to have multiple positions (including opposite directed ones) on a single symbol. If you have an open position for a certain symbol and execute a new deal, a new position is opened, while the existing one remains intact.
