# New MetaTrader 5 Android build 1262 features hedging!

## The latest version of the MetaTrader 5 Android is already available for download on Google Play

1 April 2016

The latest version of the [MetaTrader 5 Android](https://download.terminal.free/cdn/mobile/mt5/android?hl=en&utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaign=metaquotes.download) is already available for download on Google Play. One of the main features added is [support for hedging](https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/2299). Now, you can open oppositely directed positions on a single currency pair.

Open 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.
