10 min channel is up ... seems to be seller in 1.6220 zone but till that lower channel line is broken no point in trying to guess a top

Hello all.

Can someone help me out here.

I have been scaling in a short position and want to stay short but with the bullish move this morning I am going to be over leveraged shortly.

What pair is a good hedge against a short gbp/usd position. I don't want to close the trade as I think we have more of a downward move ahead.

Thanks

Aren't you going to be even more "over-leveraged" if you open a hedge? They very often don't work out unless you know what you are doing. If the hedge goes the wrong way you are looking at a big hole in the account. Better to close it with a loss and recap, or stick to your plan and hopefully not sweat too much.

I understand. I have done well with starting with a very small position and adding as it moves in the right direction. I move my stop as the trade moves in my direction and therefore limit my loss to a tiny fraction of my account and trade a much larger size position than my account size would otherwise warrant. That's what I mean when I say I would be over leveraged if I remove the stop. Maybe I am using the wrong nomenclature. As long as the stop stays in place I am playing conservatively. If I close out I start with a very small position again and have to wait to build the trade back up.

My problem may be that I am adding too quickly and not allowing enough room for market play. I will keep experimenting. My thought was I could hedge and break even while the trade goes opposite my position then close the hedge out when the downtrend resumes.

Admittedly haven't used a hedge before but have been using the scaling in idea successfully for a while now. Just trying to expand my trading a little.

Thanks for your response.

Hi Malcom,

If you ask me, I think Dj is gonna make a new high today....I am just playing the devil's advocate, no technical reasons behind it....I think Dj is yet to make a higher topping out...and todays rise in unemployment claim is giving one more chance for Dj to top out again.....

you were saying ?

pretty inevitable

es distributed thru globex after seeing sellers on move to 1134 last night

nice spot to go short 1135 today with 4 point stop

using vsa most moves can be seen way ahead of time ... if the market are clear , which gu is the worst pair out there rught now for seeing trade

even eu beat gu hands down today and is becoming my fav pair to trade
