Forex4pty, are you f@#king insane? (there's a bit of tough love for you)

Edging is like coming and going at the same time. You can do it but you end up nowhere.

Well, in this gig, you end up in the poorhouse.

No, let me explain how I used it, you can tell me if this is wrong or not, you are the experienced ones here....

I don't used it let say at 20 pips loss, or at certain amount, I don't used it at all, I know is a no where thing, but now that I can't open shorts and longs at the same pair, and I am changing to medium term trading (daily / weekly) there are retracements that I want to profit let say 20 pips from it when my position is green, or red if it is the case. but is not to hedge all the way to the SL, only for certain amount of pips to profit meanwhile the other position is running.

EUR/USD effectively unchanged overnight
Written by Gerry Davies
December 11, 2009 at 06:13 GMT

EUR/USD sits at 1.4735, effectively unchanged from where we closed out Thursday in North America with Asian trade being confined to an uninspired narrow range.

Asian stocks generally did well, with Chinese November industrial production rising 19.2% y/y vs median forecast of +18.2%, and these factors will have lent EUR/USD some underpinning. Another thing supporting the pairing is the little fact everytime we get below 1.4700 we don’t have to wait long for decent Asian sovereign buy interest to emerge.

European stocks look likely to open flatish and we’ve no major euro zone economic data releases, so things don’t look overly promising if you’re looking for a lot of volatility this morning unless we get a surprise.

Technical supports 1.4710, 1.4670 and 1.4620/30, resistances 1.4740/50 and 1.4780.

I hope that what you explain is that you bought for instance on a 1H chart with a long trend.

Than, in a small retrace, you take a short for some pips based on 1M TF for example, but keep the long on the 1H.

That I would not call hedging, you just trade two different TFs (methods) at the same time.

I do that very frequently but on two different accounts, trading Bemac's ICCE on 1H or 4H and scalping THV.

Yes, that's what he meant.

It can be profitable if used correctly.

If Forex was a medical school, this would be the equivalent of dissecting a human body. Because it's elaborate and you lose your lunch if you can't stomach it. It's something you don't get to do until your third year.

Thanks Jay

I want to add that I use different MM on those accounts, sometimes I make more money on a five pip scalp trade than on a 1H 50 pips daytrade.

Each method has it's own MM.

Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Asia stocks climbed after Chinese industrial production rose more than economists forecast and U.S. jobless claims fell to a one-year low. The yen and credit- default swaps for bonds in Asia fell.

Good Mrning Koalas friends ...
If I'm not wrong ... hedging is when you buy and sell a cross in the same time so it's playing with rates (& with swaps). This is great when you want to protect an international transaction of change in a commercial business. In trading I don't see the interest.
Always if I'm not wrong for Forex4pty, as he explains it, he's trying to trade the same cross with one long and one short with different time frame and I suppose with different money management ... As Cobra and Jay say it, it works but you need to be experienced ... For me (sorry for my english) this system is ok but not the reason why. I mean forex4pty is learning and young in trading as he said and for him the only goal to have is to make it simple and keep it simple. I don't like give advice because we are all different and a good advice for me could be a bad advice for you but if I was at your place I will try to trade as you do with mini lot ( and one trade by one trade because if you're using "x" mini lots in the same time it's like using one normal lot cut in "x" ) and in a simple way with just one pair ... until the day that you can say your trading is "under control" technically and emotionally except if you don't care to burned some accounts but I admit that burning some accounts is the normal way of learning trading ... Just my 2 cents
