well...hedging and wait it's meaningless.
But hedging and stacking positions as the market flows can be useful.
if you take a Three pair hedging you can think about adding positions to the most performing pairs....or if you want to countertrade you can add positions to the worst performing pair , hoping that the market will turn somehow.
The relationship of the price between a three pairs hedging is very strong .

From one of your posts:
"i am serious , learning how to recover from bad trades is an art ...... "

If FX is understood correctly, sort of hedging of 3, 4 or even more pairs (not talking about basket trading), could be the best way to trade imo.
Don't mind others who have no idea what you have been digging thru. (& Good Luck to you!)

FX is 24hr 5day non-stop moving market. However, I hear that moving part is only 4-5%. Even though slow, it still moves and there are known news event and unknown news events all the time to stir.

Getting out of bad trade is very important part and hedging (substituting) is very important to control the risk (and to profit too).

I wonder also if hedging is a viable way to trade fx. I traded options for a few years but did only straight buying/selling of calls and puts. I saw others putting on multi layered delta neutral and hedging positions (condors, butterflies, debit and credit spreads) and wondered how the hell they made money as options start decaying and losing value fairly quickly. So, was wondering if the deficiencies of options could be could be overcome with fx when you can hold a position indefinetly without losing value ?

Hedging can be done but I wouldn't recommend it for someone that doesn't know what they are doing. Assuming you made a trade on the 4 hour chart at the close of the candle. There is a possibility that volume can come into the market on a smaller time frame and make the trade go against you. Now I wouldn't recommend you use the same trading sizes on both time frames either, and but you can make a small trade going against you first trade. But it takes real skills to be able to recognize significant volume that can go against you enough to warrant covering you position. And this wouldn't be the "Zero" Risk Trade that most people want. I am not saying someone in this world wouldn't be able to pull it off, because you learn something new everyday, but no matter how you slice it, you would have to know what you are doing to use it properly.

I don't even do it anymore.
