{quote} Thanks I meant DD for the FTSE DIV trades compared to its profit ?
Sorry, good question, the FTSE DIVI trade is unique as its never gone too far away from the initial drop, this week was probably the worst week I had for DD, the fact that I 've never held on for it for any long period of time makes me trade it differently than I usually do, as a result that its never failed for me I don't hedge only average it out, but I should be aware that one day maybe it will keep going down something to think about , cheers, but back to the question think I was minus £300 at one stage the closed at +£150, I do have a big bank and trade very small lots, so minus £300 was nearly 2% of my bank...

The 2% drawdown was it because the trade was taken before the announcement and suffered the entire move down though you pocketed the dividend ? Or you opened after the drop and still had 2% DD?

opened just before announcement, then just after the initial drop then placed another 2 trades as the price went down, my BE now was at a lower price because of averaging out, could have closed at BE but because of the 100% success rate held on until the gap was closed, when the gap did closed it's hard to close for profit because greed rears its ugly head, something to watch out for ...

Hi Waveskierrob. Hedge + averaging management is quite clear, but one thing i still don't quite understand: how do you decide when the price is moving too hard in one direction and it's time to stop averaging? how do you jump out? or does this progression continue until you can close in profit between gains and losses?
Cheers

I don't know, I'm hedging at the same time so that lessens the DD, keep away or have even trades BUY/SELL at times of LON/NY opening and red news also helps, keep an eye on your equity and forget about P/L on each individual trade, treat it as one big trade, you can set your own price gaps when to average out I choose 10 pip but that's just me, play around on demo see which pair and gap size between averaging that suits you...

even the hedge out eg 3 SELL 3 BUY or close all, as you seen from some of my recent posts I am now closing all my trades before the weekend, looks like a loss but remember Ive been closing profitable trades all week which are greater than my loss, come Monday start over again from scratch...3 steps forward 1 step back.....
