Since the candles are falling into alignment to follow the market move higher, isn't this the time for a liquidity sweep and taking it lower?

13 and 48 periods EMA's were supposed to be the most profitable combination according to a study that I read. This is an important obaservation: 48/13 ~4.[/quote]

Started reading the thread and made a quick calculation. Try 36, 54 on a 5min tf

This could very well be the Sell on GBP/JPY. Since Daily and H4 confirmed Short, I expect no less than 100 pips. Real target should be 250,300 pips if Daily is right with confirming Short if not even more.

I will be persistent with Shorting Pound vs Yen in these days to come. I have a feeling it will pay off.

{quote} Understood. Yeah, that hedge definition is written by an idiot. If you bought something (+1 unit) and then sold the same thing (-1unit) then in reality you just closed that position. This is not a hedge, that's just having two opposite positions on where you pay double the spread. Market makers just laugh at this and collect that free money you gave them. Hedging means that you hold one asset and opened a position in another correlated asset but it has different characteristics. Also, hedging can be having a position in spot market and then...
I think i'll just take Wavegarrick's word for it, since he has traded the longest.
What you are describing are the methods, not the purpose.

All the brokers describe their account type as either "Hedged" or "Netting". What do they mean by this if not the ability to have multiple positions in opposite direction. You offset risk in a timeframe.

"You secure a second position that you expect to have a negative correlation with your first position—that is, when your existing position goes down, this second position will go up. This mitigates your risk, and we know that, often times, lower risk creates higher rewards in the long run—especially in the highly volatile market.
This is called forex hedging, and as you can see the gains from your second position will offset the expected losses from your first position. This allows you to maintain your first position while still reducing your losses. The two positions should be the same size in order to zero out your losses. Of course, this also means that you will zero out your gains while you hold both positions".

It's about risk mitigation, which method being used doesn't matter if it's a hedge or not. A farmer can hedge his expectancy of lower potato prices in the fall, by not making an investment in growing them.

Is the purpose of a hedge to have a net position or get to a net position? please explain the main purpose(s).
I am not disagreeing with you, but i don't think you will agree with most people if you refer to them as idiots. Thus i am interested in why i should use your definitions, while most of the internet and brokers suggest otherwise.

{quote} Also! H4 is about to confirm Long, after this candle closes in hour and a half. R from 1.217 to 1.22. Sounds good! {image}
H4 confirmed Long of course. We'll see what the next one will do.
Due to H4 confirming Long and a big 100 pips sell we witnessed yesterday, I expect the Pound to reach between 1.217 and 1.22. They were getting rid of Buyers with that 100 pips on my opinion.

That isn't quite how trading works. You can hold buy and sell transactions open for the same currency pair. These transactions will stay open until they are closed. Once you open a transaction it must be closed and not just offset with a transaction in the opposite direction.
While holding the opposing transactions your margin and equity are not significantly impacted.
While holding the open transactions if the market moves such that one of the transactions becomes more profitable and you close the profitable transaction followed by waiting for the second transaction to become profitable from a market reversal, your hedge just made you a profit.

There are other forms of hedging as you are describing as well.
