More lots through hedging

Typically, you don't want to Over Leverage yourself by placing too many lots. This makes a lot of sense especially if you are only trading 1 currency pair. If you have place 2 10K lots instead of 1, that would double the movement of the currency in terms of p/l.

However, if you have a solid strategy, across mutliple pairs, couldn't you place more lots as longas they are differnt pairs?

1 lot of Eur/Usd 1 lot of Cad/Jpy 1 lot of Aud/NZD
these 3 pairs have no currency in common, thus they are unlikly to move together, and thus you can risk having them all up at once with the same amount of capital in the account right?

You could class them as different trades entirely and therefore risk being leveraged higher on the grounds that you won't hopefully get slapped on all 3.


I do this with GBPUSD and EURUSD, although there linked I feel safer splitting my $$$'s over 2 Pairs, USDCAD aswell recently, which moves on it's own and is fairer.

As long as your profitable over all, and don't leverage yourself so bad that 1 bad day takes you out
