My first TP area will be 4900 and watching the 1h 62/50 for a response as well.

i cashed in on all my short except one + 10% today :-)

i think it may spike tonight and early morning... i hope it will so i can get back in again... would like to see 5200 if not 5300 (probably wont happen)

its your call; cash in now, or wait to take the full run tomorrow; i am hoping to do both :-)

NEVER EVER hedge a position. take your lickens like a man and move on to your next trade. Ask our resident nAVIN2007 about hedging. He can give you a good low down on that issue.

Professional hedging involves two currencie pairs. NOT ONE.

example of when you would want to hedge... if you were short the cable from 6000 and you thought it was going down to 3600... at 4500 when you saw the retrace - go long and pick up 800 pips and then short again today.

another example... i went short today around 5100... then it turn around and went north (i just left it along and shorted again when it got higher); i could have went long with a hedge and let it move up 100 pips before shorting again...with very little loss on my short... when the market came back down, i would have collected all the pips without have any loss and more profit.

if you are thinking about your trades; i think hedging can be a great tool; just like any tool, if it is used wrong, it can hurt you.

what say you? i know you do this for a living, your opinion counts :-)

I can see what your saying. Like you said, it's a tool that if used improperly, will cost you dearly. I've never been a fan of hedging, but to each there own.

As to me doing this for a living, I do have a company as well outside of Forex. It just so happens that my trading does support me and my company when times are lean. So, I wouldn't say I'm a professional, just a day trader.

Thank you for the compliment though!

You are correct Steelhead! Thus, why they don't allow hedging. Only one way can you control the currency with them.

Kinda silly to me if you want to close a short you have to enter a long.

It can appear to be wierd I guess. I've been using them for so long that I'm accustomed to it! Your broker probably has a close order entry. MB calls it a cover entry. It's doing the same thing essentially.
