DislikedMetaCoder, Thanks. I noticed that in your other post, but just wanted to be sure about it. Is there a particular time of week and day that you have found that would be better to start a hedging cycle? BruceIgnored

DislikedThere probably is brucech, but all of the pairs need to move sooner or later and it's market movement we want. I've been working with an EA and as I expected the very quiet times aren't good. I don't know how it would do during major news announcements. But profit was available now several times in a row during late afternoon and early evening, USA Pacific time. The pairs open up in no predictable order, just depends on what the market does once the anchors are set and the EA waits for the market to touch the buy and sell levels.Ignored

Disliked{quote} His point was that it's a waste of time because if you completely and correctly hedge all units in the ring - you will only ever lose since the net swaps are always negative (didn't used to be that way) and the only way you are seeing any movement at all is because you aren't properly calculating lot sizes. This means you are x units long one currency and x units short another; effectively wasting capital paying for pointless swaps and tying up margin money for absolutely no reason. This is a terrible strategy for those reasons.Ignored

Disliked{quote} After a few round trips on demo accounts with the 10-pair basket I've been discussing, it became clear a good strategy needs to be employed beyond simply opening trades when the targets are hit. It's fine to recognize the connected triangles, but one shouldn't enter all available trades without some logical criteria. After the first trade opens because the target was hit, I suggest excluding certain other trades from opening. For example, if the first trade is a GBPJPY sell, then do not open another trade that sells GBP and buys JPY until...Ignored

100,000 units long EUR and ~114,000 short USD.
100,000 units short EUR and ~87,800 long GBP.
short 87,800 units of GBPUSD, Which means you would automatically be long 114,000 units of USD.
12,200 long GBP and 16,000 short USD
