hedged long @648. Added short @ 684. Closed all 669. BE
Nice work, I am short but I have very low lot sizes.

I've found hedging can be better than SL's for rescuing trades provided that you do not break the 2% equity drawdown rule.

I look where supply and demand zones are and trail one side of the hedge upto that.

I closed out my long hedge at 5681 just before the supply zone. she appears to be falling now, of course if we get another leg up I'll close out the trades and loose 2%. But like i said, it's nice to have a second chance.

If I get near 2% I'll start to look where supply and demand zones are and trail one side of the hedge upto that.

I'm not really that good I just open a hedge when drawdown hits 1%, then I trade my way out. If I get it wrong a second time then I take a 2% loss.

f you know price is going to bounce off somewhere rather than use a fix stop loss you can use the hedge to freeze drawdown whilst price reaches the level you want. So rather than widening the stop and increasing risk exposure you freeze the risk with the hedge.

Really it's the same thing as a stop loss except if you know price is going to bounce off somewhere rather than use a fix stop loss you can use the hedge to freeze drawdown whilst price reaches the level you want.

I agree in theory but in practice it work different for me, especially when u let one out..i will do it thou when i have a profit and expect a retrace..then it work quite well

It didn't work out for me in the end, I hit my -2% equity so had to close out both trades, although it does work out more often than not. It depends on the situation, your lot sizes and how far away your price targets are.

It could work nice on retraces, just remember to stick to the equity rule as runaway hedges can be really dangerous. When I first started trading I used to double up the size of the hedge lol. I quickly learnt the danger of that the day I lost 10% of my account ;-)

I'm expecting price to rise to .5720, if it breaches that then I'm closing up shop for christmas.

I think so too, there's some nice supply zones coming up, one of them has to hold, the market can't go up for ever, this short squeeze will be over soon.

If this breaches 1.5700 then it's heading to the moon.

checking the crazy again , ok for any but seems not great further , d top & d bottom all in place earlier , down channel . smaller tf another bull attempt I see breaking 5693 also but if breaks anyway 5684 then will mark as weakness & breaks 60 ( better 49 ) will mark as failure for now, not talking about final confirmation starts with 5556 . waiting see if over 5700 or not .
seeing broken 5684 .
