      description: >
        The endpoint returns the current [hedge mode](/glossary#hedge-mode)
        status for the collateral trading account. When hedge mode is enabled
        (`true`), the account supports simultaneous long and short positions on
        the same market. When disabled (`false`), the account operates in
        one-way mode.
