Depends on your definition and understanding ... for me hedging is something that farmers do on the futures markets to protect the price of their crop. That's the problem with saying 'hedging', it means too many things. I am actually a student of ...

I would rather not call it 'hedging' if you are referring to the trading method presented in this thread. It is simply building positions in accordance to where the market seems to be heading. Notice: 'seems' ... there are no absolutes. Either way, ...

Hi stewrigh, Trading is really 'whatever works for you', and unique to each individual. Same as yonseo quoted: it is all about finding your individual profile as a trader. In this instance I will tell you my opinion: on your chart, whenever you ...

Barbossa, My trading philosophy centeres around the belief that the only thing you can control when trading is the risk, and I do that by allocating the same monetary value to every trade. Moreover, in respect to Graeme's posts, he said there was no ...

Vee, for my own trading I use "fixed monetary value", because the pips at risk with each entry (the distance between the entry price and the stop-loss price, and also spread) will be different. I want my risk parameters to remain constant, and that ...

As a reminder, realised profits, the ones that feed your family, are made at the exit of the positions, not at the entry ... so I would suggest to you that exits are even more important than the entries. It seems to me there is a misunderstanding in ...

Hi Tim, I have a few questions if you would be so kind to indulge: 1) What is your exit strategy for the long positions that you have established on USDJPY ? 2) What is the current situation of losses whilst establishing these long positions, versus ...

Hi Vee, In my view, overtrading refers to trading outside your rules, for example more than your pre-plan number of trades, if you said to yourself at the beginning of the day "I will trade, and if I get 3 losses in a row I will stop for today" ... ...

Moreover, there will be those days where out of 39 trades, 25 will be break-even and 14 losses. What then ? A change of trading system ? Cam

I personally do not use any of the items you listed ... regardless, you have to choose your own beliefs. Start with a simple theorem, like ... when price reaches the vicinity of the 200 EMA on the 4H chart, depending on the price action, see if ...

I would suggest to you, that "the main thing" is accurately identifying the areas of interest where to trade. Graeme's entries on 5 minutes seemed to work like magic because he was trading in the right area on the bigger timeframes. It is critical ...

Vee, thank you buddy, I feel the same about you still helping out. I think that we have to accept that we will be checking out this thread forever :-)

Baby steps ... firstly trade profitably, then worry about how to deal with the taxes.

Hi Vee, I can only tell what I have experienced myself ... I do trade long term, positions over a year old, but I haven't found a need to freeze profits intentionally yet. They end up being frozen from normal trading taking positions buy and sell ...

Hi Sarkel, I salute your exploration of other financial instruments. Futures are a great source of non-correlated markets to trade, and options are amazing having one more dimension to profit from compared to straight trading (i.e. volatility), plus ...

Hi Vee, In my trading freezing happens naturally, it is not something I look to do intentionally. I enter buy and sell positions according to what I think about the market, and sometimes I have buy and sell on the same pair, hence frozen profits. ...

url "I will not elaborate any further in the above 2 theorems as I know this will lead to no progress in your learning phase. What works for me is for me." There is a paradox in all of this ... Pipeasy's posts can be really understood, only after ...

Relief can only be found inside you, rather than in other people. Everything is an illusion ... truth, lies.. who defined what is what ? You do. What is a lie for me, it might be the truth for you. Lost loved ones ? Maybe, but life is change ... a ...

Hi friend, With respect, I think you missed the point expressed by Graeme and Vee throughout the thread ... precision short term entry/exit cannot really be transferred from one trader to another, you have to put in the work and find your own ...

Hi Vee, The strategy employed should depend on the goals: During a day, there are multiple short term trends, and if your interest is to trade short term, you would align your entries with those short term trends, but if you want to trade longer ...
