Disliked{quote} Yes, exactly. And you will have 2 SL in a row. And it will be very hard to recover. Do you realize that if you lose 10%, then you have to gain at least 11.2% back (+fees, spread, swaps etc)?Ignored
Disliked{quote} What are you doing in hedge thread if you think it is useless? Say once and go away.Ignored
DislikedNothing will go my or your way. Price movement expand. But you wrong with calculations. We will be not equal. Because I'll have balance and margin, and you will have less. Think about it. Yes, my equity will be less. But you will have less balance, equity and available margin.Ignored
Disliked{quote} But they take it as we disrupting the thread, while they say the most stupid and crazy things. Guess some people need to be explained 2 or 3 times, or make it like 100 times as there are some people here ( WINGATE ) that have learning dificulties.Ignored
Disliked{quote} I have a question Pete.. when we take a trade, and close the trade at stop loss... can we assume that we have just lost a trade, and some money? Yep. Why on earth would a trader wish to lose money with a stop loss when they don’t have to. Am I the only one not getting their argument. The question is, if I lose money with a stop loss, my account, with my broker reduces. If I hedge, I close both sides in profit, I benefit from the closure of both sides and the broker does not benefit from a stop loss and my equity increases with both trades...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I'm curious: will your broker allow you to trade with negative equity? If you follow this approach and do not have the trading skills of MZ, it is very likely that you are going to experience negative equity. Some brokers will force a margin call when your equity hits -$.01. Just wondering...Ignored
DislikedLet's say your target is 10 pips, as a scalper. Your normal risk per trade is 2%. Don't worry about the RR, scalpers normally aren't but say 10 pip emergency stop. For hedging, you spilt the risk, 1% risk buy, 1% risk sell. You place a perfect hedge, once you open a buy position, a sell position is also opened. It goes up 5, close sell position, let it ride to target. Obviously, lower profits but the point is that it's safer IF the market conditions such as slippage and spread are perfect. Anyone tried? Sounds fun but messy.Ignored

DislikedWow, this discussion has gone to hell. How do I know that you guys are shit traders? Your discussion is on "hedging" a losing trade. You are thinking about losses, because you are losing. If you could trade, your focus would be on something else. Here is the blunt reality of this situation: if you don't know how to trade and aren't actual traders, you are going to lose no matter what. You can't "hedge" yourself out of stupidity. This bullshit about never taking a loss and just waiting for the market to turn around is mindless banter among you guys....Ignored
DislikedA Simple question requiring a SIMPLE ANSWER ONLY to both STrading and NUMBNUTS (sorry NubCake). Both of you please think very hard before answering just incase you continue to make FOOLS of yourselves According to both of you a LOSS is a LOSS however the trade is MANAGED Correct? Hypothetical Example you open a trade in ONE DIRECTION based on your analysis of the current market direction. Your analysis, gut feeling (whatever) is wrong and the trade goes against you so you open another equal sized trade in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION. With me so...Ignored

Disliked{quote} I'm all aflutter that you'd go back and view my history! I'm feeling kinda tingly, in a naughty way, that you're took interest in little 'ol me! Please feel free to read through my journal where I have documented my trading. I did a live trading session for a FF buddy back in March, if you'd like to see a nearly-live trading session. But, I know you are busy planning your next "hedge" campaign. But seriously, I have never tried to hide my trading approach, and let anyone interested judge for themselves. If you know anything about analyzing...Ignored
