Disliked{quote} Hi Alan, Please help answer my questions described on your chart! {image}Ignored
The first div you pointed out I should have hedged as you correctly pointed out and I can't for the life of me understand why I didn't.
The next one I took but we don't need a two bar test just to lock up the trade.
Then the word long was used because this is the start of a new trade (the other is locked up)
When this long passed the entry of the previous hedge I close the hedge and this widens the distance of the trade profits and the long becomes the new hedge. So once again the profits are all locked in.
I then closed this last hedge(the old long) at the EMA for the profit and was getting ready to close the short also but it bounced so all was good.
The last one why not hedge, I did but this time the price started running short. Too late to take off the hedge as profit so I just closed all instead and made a coffee.
Got back just in time to take the long (somewhat late) off that last bullish div looking for about ten pips so to get that it had to get across the EMA or come back and stop me out. It got across so I just kept moving my stop up and finally just closed with a very nice profit.
