Thread: Hedging Because You Dont Want To Lose

    So sorry to hear that you paid cash simply to listen for this method.

    As many said, it's a modified martingale. And since it happened with any other martingale established method, it's a slippery slope to trail. It will turn your equity into a net of margin use and end up in a margin call.

Should you ch the moment employing powerful support/resistance levels and if you have enough funds (and knowledge, of course) you can get out with profit from the worst trade ever.

    Finally your luck will soon run out. Before the trade ever becomes profitable your account will probably be wiped out. Or if the transaction size is very small, the place can be in the red for years. .

    It isn't wrong per se. Nonetheless, it is overleveraged. I'm not telling you the notion is bad but that the associated risk is high in comparison. You can do something similar while maintaining your risk under control (that's constant w.r.t. the SL distance). Your initial place opens with 1 lot. Your risk is just 1 lot x 1 SL = 1 unit of risk. If the price reaches half the SL personally and goes against you, you put in a second 1 lot. Your risk is currently 1x1 1x0.5=1.5 units. If the price goes against you personally and reaches half of the remaining diestance (3/4 of this way to your SL), you put in a second 1 lot. Your risk is currently 1x1 1x0.5 1x0.25=1.75 units. You may repeat as many times as may fit on your SL distance you're guaranteed that your risk is limited to twice the original risk (1 1/2 1/4 1/8 ... 1/2^n lt; two). For your MM you need contemplating the most risk. If you'd like risking 1% you merely use 0.5% for the initial entrance. It keeps your skill of recognizing the trade bad and exit on a re-test before the SL is struck to get a loss because in this case the point also follows you down.

    Oops sorry for that, I meant to say david_akc as he's the 1 hedging right ?

    But not just him, it was meant to anyone that hedges is that way because that is not real hedging what HEDGEFUNDS do, that is just simply going level, and paying spread evenly.

    For people who wish to learn what actual hedging is go to some index/stock hedging place and discover out there.

    I'd say you're on the right track, and you'll finally realise what is wrong with this, and then you will iterate your way to something new, after which you'll realise some thing wrong with this new egy, and then you will iterate... round the 15th time you will likely get a working system if you are focused and have been chance upon the right tools.

    Good fortune

    Oh I forgot that when/if the 1st commerce comes back a couple of pips in profit you'll be able to add again 1 lot. To the original size the SL is trailed by you at this point of time. This way the trade is half of its risk, same for its position. The second place is on BE. Any other are locked in a profit. The risk becomes less than or equal to 1 unit. Of course this restricts the breathing room for your trade. But if it turns again against you it may not have been a fantastic trade .

    Hi I am not here to state anything. I did the payoff egy as mention in the post. It did operate. But you need it to be gridded by steel balls out.

    High leverage is Essential.

    I've only 1 losing day since I was hesitant. I give the market abit more room than needed.

    The market did give me a opportunity to get out at profit but I was too hopeful that the market turnaround and came into my own favor. But that didn't last long. But the simple fact is hedging works.

    Okay here is the hard part. Irrespective of whatever egy you are currently using. You want to loe a currency pair that has been trading nowadays. Together with ADX over 30.

    Pit the powerful against the weak with your own CSI (currency power meter)

    The currency pair must be trending.

    Another hard part. You have to believe that the trend will unfold no issue and that's high leverage is needed.

    Will update but believe it work.

    Have you seen this thread https://www.forexforum.co.za/trading...g-freedom.html

    could be we can use hedge grid in S/R position.
    For instance, buy 1lot in SUPPORT =gt; price downgt; buy yet another 1lot =gt; downgt;buy 1lot.
    Okay,then ,if price continue down ,maybe there is a downward trend. We double the lots sell.
    If price reverse UP, we just need to pick up simple green buck.

    Furthermore, we can calculate the range, to Ascertain the grid size(4 or 3 buys/sells...) and grid increament(10pips or 20pips)

    Hedging is the trading platform of a CONFUSED MAN. Its trying to act before the market instead of reacting to it.if you donot understand the market direction stay from this market until the market gives you management

    If you need balls of steel to market I am not certain what kind of hedging egy this is?
    Another thing to consider is the commission you are handing your broker in terms of either spread or real commission. That. And unless you've got a couple million to hedge, I can't imagine that the rewards are big enough to justify the egy. Apologies if I've made some assumptions.
