{quote} I think this is the best option when hedging..... Scenario...... We are trading the 08-15 bar and price breaks our upper trigger and goes for 3 pips and turns around and then breaks the lower trigger. Where price is "currently" at is still "above" the lower trigger of the 00-00 bar. At this point do we...... A) Put in a trade at the low of the 08-15 bar to put our trade in limbo. Then we WAIT for the low of the 00-00 bar to be broken, and then we put in another trade (or 2 or double lot size) and chase Modest Daily Range? EDIT......of course...
That's definitely one good way to look at it. Use a completely different trigger to unwind your hedge.

If looking at the 12am-4am bar to unwind the hedge, think about a smaller lot size because the range is much bigger, and if it goes against you, will hurt more.

Edit - this could happen today as price is stuck in no man's land.

MrC didn't take the break low cos he had one of his special hand drawn lines in the way
But he did take the break high +5 and is currently suffering from a condition known as having too many lines on his chart....

OK DAX, the PA was interesting....at 8:06 Europe time it broke the 12350 level (at this time the spread had gone done from 4 methinks to 2) so tradeable...
This is the Frankfurt 'pre-market'....... after that it went on the rampage and hit 12500
Coulda, woulda, shoulda PAY DAY trade +150 in less than 2 hours
I have a plan gather around....

Tried the Frankenbreak (break of 4am-7am range) on EG this morning. My bias was short so I went short on the low break. If only I had looked left I would have seen support in that region. Doh.

Anyway, the low break hit SL and the high break happened. This also hit SL. Hmmm, back to the drawing board.

Although everything about Cable is screaming long at the moment, and it has broken the high of the 8am 1 hour bar, I want it to drop, break through the low of the 12am-4am range, and take out the pivot.

Would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts. Billy, Claudia, being Cable veterans, what do you think?

Edit: here's me waiting for a low break, but the high break is paying dividends right now. Almost at R1.

EU, ignore my silly 15min dashed lines and that was a 'textbook trade' this morning......
4 hour bar broke in fine style, it retraced pretty much exactly to the previous high, RESISTANCE BECOMES SUPPORT, then went off again....
