and so i can say at last
hedging is out.. professionalism is in..
Well, let's be clear, "hedging" still has it's place and you can still hedge with non NFA regulated brokers (most non-US brokers). There are a few successful ways to hedge (i.e. the Martingale as one example), but "the reason" that most retail traders hedge, didn't make sense. So there are 2 sides to this issue. I'm not a hedger, but to say that all hedging is "pathetic" is not a fair or accurate argument. (my 2 cents)

thanks for your reply riffster

i won't say much..
but i'm sure that all the true forex traders who spent months studying the market, do not hedge.
there is enough strategies that professional traders go by, without the need of "hedging"

Yep, I agree... I only use hedges to replace stops if I have to step away from my office. A hedge will lockin your profits/losses while you are away and protect your equity, but that's about the only good use that I've found for hedging.

Would like you to tell more about the recent NFA fine, ( 225,000.00 USD) of IBFX was all about. It had something to do with misleeding People about FIFO rule?

Well, if you have a strategy that involves hedging, and you are making money with that, I think that's a valid system. According to you, I'm a pathetic making money. I'm happy to be that pathetic!!
For other instance, the example of the money changer would be similar to this procedure: buy a lot, then close the trade. Nothing to do with hedging. Bad example.

Lol, I won't touch that one, but most of the info is posted on the NFA website:

National Futures Association | News Center

You can dig deeper by searching "Todd Crosland" on the NFA site.
