And if you are in the USA, you can do a synthetic hedge.

EURJPY = EURUSD * USDJPY.

Short EURJPY is hedged by long EURUSD and long USDJPY.

If anything, also have a serious look into the stats. I know I will

Funny how that works. I know someone who doesn't give a thing about stats, enters at breakouts and takes it from there making decisions as time progresses. As long as one has a belief system that is profitable, all is good. If not, change the belief system and dump the old one.

Do you split the position between the two?

No. Same size for a full hedge.
To fully hedge 1 lot short EJ you have to go long 1 lot EU and 1 lot UJ.
short EJ = selling E and buying J
long EU = buying E and selling U
long UJ = buying U and selling J
They even out if you use the same lot sizes. If not, then not.

[quote=wannalearn12;9125593]Billy, or anyone really, a few questions, if you don't mind.

Hi, I use stops for stats purpose.
I actually do not use stops as I counter trade. This appears odd to some people but it is my style.
I have counter set up before I open first trade.
My broker allows Forced Trades plus I have 2 accounts and have a second back up broker.
Pull back is safe to trade with the added option of gaining more points (and smaller stop if used).
It does not matter which time frame you use as it breaks regardless.
I take 5 but up to 20 is pretty good too.
It might only be 5 points but try banging a 100 or 1K per point trade on it.
A/U is best in my opinion as it suits me, Cable very good but be careful with E/J..
Compounding is another option, once you get a feel how the Daily Range works you can then hunt it.

[quote=PippyTheGrt;9125738]{quote} Some suggestions (subject to improvement ) 1. Trading the break means setting buy/sell stops on the extreme of the candle before it breaks, not after. 2. see video below 3. cutting losses: set counter trade at other end or 30 pips away, the idea being that if a lousy 5 pips isn't reached, it'll likely go at least 20 pips from the other extreme towards a modest daily range.
hi and welcome,,
I agree with what you say,
I trade 04-00 break slightly different from the Daily. I wouldn't say 5 points was lousy, I bought my wife a totr merc trading for 5 points.

{quote} I was going to post a non-MT4 chart with some food for thought but my other laptop that replaces my PC with MT4 has decided to black-screen on me. Insert two swear words here I wouldn't close the trade, just see it in a different light. There are several options going forward from there, like calculating the position size of the new trade based on a likely scenario that you envision based on the historical research that you have done. I'm actually doing that too (laptop permitting ) by the way. Think "modest daily range"...
we sound so a like, trade style

[quote=PippyTheGrt;9125808]{quote} Yes in the US I believe, but not for me. Worst case you'd have to open two accounts in the US so as to be able to do the same effectively lowering the leverage. Or set up a company in XYZ-land as a trading vehicle. Here's an example of a few weeks ago. The long hedge could be a) 100% so you would lock in negative profit or b) more than 100% to catch up with the negative profit while the market goes up. And/or you can stack when it is going your way, and perhaps start a bit earlier than I did fcol. But this is only an example - many ways to skin a cat. You could also wait for the next trigger the day

More or less what I do, if you counter wait for next legitimate trigger, then either add lots or recoup over time.

Thanks.
lol
That "lousy" was meant to be ironic or something along those lines.
90+% straight profits of 5 times a big number is not to be sniffed at.
Not sure what a totr merc is but your wife obviously likes it or you wouldn't be here I suppose
Yeah I take lousy any time of day.
