I think it depends on how you look at it. Many people say they are hedging trade, when the trade has gone against them 50--100 pips. All they did was make matters worse. That is not a hedge just because they went the opposite way.
OTOH, let's say you get in a trade that you have been holding for a few days, and you know it is going to continue in your favor. You also know at a certain point it is going to correct, so in order to stay in the previous trade, but to collect some pips on the correction you believe is going to happen, you enter a hedge....

I do not think AUD/USD will be going lower. The correction from 1.08xx seems to be an end. Now lets thinks of LONG this pair for the upside soon.

Both AUD/USD and NZD/USD.

maybe long between 225 an 180?

AUD at a critical support level - if it can break below 9470 - we should go to atleast 9400/9380.

Fundamentals not supporting the Aussie in the short term and a rate hike probability is diminishing.

Aussie is a high-yeild currency and could lose investor appeal very very quickly.

I am taking a short at 9505 with a SL at 9650 and TP (1st lot) at 9400

we technically aren't allowed to hedge, unless we use two brokers/accounts

or if we do, we have to close the older position first

A straddle or a strangle isn't a hedge. I put a pending order either side of 1.0305 and 1.0325 and waited for price to tell me which way it was going.

Pardon me. That was my fault.
If I'm now understanding you right, you put a long at the high end of the channel and a short at the low end.

I do that every NFP report.

Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Are your orders usually filled during sudden moves? It's a great idea but usually doesn't Fill my order. In other cases I've longed and shorted before the news at same price with tight stops in both directions but its failed to stop

I've had many brokers, and by far, Hot Forex is the best. I'm talking customer service, the whole thing.
I once had a TP on the AUD/USD. I set the trade, went to bed, and was shocked my TP was not hit. A closer look showed me it was, but their platform did not execute it. I called the tech department. They not only gave my money back on the trade, but paid me an additional 150%.
Accidents do happen. This broker became huge in my eyes when they took care of business that way for me. That happened only 2 weeks after they became my broker. So they drove down a permanent stake for me.

There are some brokers that you can't trade the news by. Impossible slippage, platform sluggish and gaping.Hunt around.
