The big question is: When do you "lift" the hedge to take your system into profitability?

By placing a hedge, you do stop the bleeding, but you still have the wound which is your loss. You also add to the bleeding by incurring another spread cost.

If you can figure out a good method of lifting your hedge into a profitable situation, I would like to hear it!

my thought

If i am trading , with my money managment, risk what ever.
and 50pips stops is in my plan , why take the 50 pip loss,
Why not hedge it at 50 pips + 2 spread eurusd 52 that may collect
interest or pay interest. Than I get to your question, lifting the hedge
and I have no good answer.
But I have recovered some bad trades by hedge, maybe just by luck or what ever.

Figure out a good way to lift the hedge, and guide the system into profitability, and I will take a crack at coding this for you.

Hedge

Never release a hedge. Let the lock to be permanent.
You may add possition to sell or to buy to make total positions in profit, then close them all at once.

You're welcome.

There are a lot of things actually to master this Hedge. You need to have enough pips to let the price move in the correct direction. For EUR/USD 100 pips, for GBPJPY 166 pips. You need to place trade in line with fundamental. There is a support/ressistance to decide to buy or sell.

You can place buy stop / sell stop as a hedge, not necessary an EA.

By having this hedge, you are buying time, to fix it later somewhere sometime when the trend is clear.

Once you master this, you can have consistant profit, without any fear of losses.

Todd, Have you tried the auntie hedge EA for Jacko's trading style? The name of the thread on FF is "EA for Jacko's trailing stops". Scroll down to post #6 to find the EA. Goldensight
