if you have a hedging mindset , you must have a "PLAN B" if things go wrong . because you dont want to close overall in LOSS after long days . So before you open your first initial trade you must know whats your level and whats your plan , because PLAN B should also be a Profitable Setup .
Sometimes your trades can get stuck for months if you want to clear your hedges without any losses. Not all losses can be cleared without a loss and new hedges can get stuck along the way while you try to clear the losing trades
👍Btw, thanks, your trade-management strategy itself is clearly presented here. 👍(Please come back on the channel and explain what to do if either a) the price crashes through multiple hedges, or b) price nicks into a hedge but then bounces about. )
I understand this concept and acknowledge that it is better than placing stop losses. However in your working example it is important to understand that once two short positions were in place and the buy had been sold. It would have been necessary to pace 2 buy stops above the latest sell stop to fully manage risk. If then the market turned and triggered both the buy stops you would now have locked in further losses. Yes you can keep on adding to the position within support and resistance zones as the market moves. Don’t forget overnight holding fees as well. You do need a prepared plan before you start to trade and know your different levels and what risk will be locked in at each stage.
👍Dynamic hedging -- thanks, yes, a smart management- strategy.👍Btw, what if price continues to move against you, in a trend reversal, at what point - and at what loss -- would you close????
You Should Do This On Bigger Time Frames With Small Lot Size Aiming Bigger Target Or Do This On 1M With Resistance And Trend And Use Small Lot With Short Targets So That You Can Make Money
That SL of sell entry must be the buy entry against sell entry but its lot size must be 3.5 ratio in order to double the actual profit. Its TP must be the same with SL. No more losses, just don't enter in a ranging or sideways market.
This strategy is really efficient I use it everyday maybe a little bit different than how he do it but the hedging strategy is a great profitable strategy... You just have to build your own style with it 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you sir for the thorough explanation and demonstration of your hedging strategy. My question is: Do you use the same position size for all your entries?
Agreed. This was my comment, above. My solution is no more than 3 hedges, and then close them all -- accepting the loss which is still there between the initial trade and the first hedge.
One thing i have tried is that i follow support and resistance and keep adding in small sizes to my winning position. This eventually helps to reduce the initial loss side and I cut positions on next support resistance. Mostly in profit or sometimes in breakeven. I have tried this multiple times and it worked well.
This is good......the only issue is that you have to be constantly in front of the screen, for me its not a problem if its during the day, but after a certain time it is difficult to follow.
Just use alerts. If you miss one no big deal, just wait for another level or set up, and continue from there. You don't need to live on the charts and using the hourly or h4 really does help if you're limited with time 👌
It can work the opposite way. If I'm in a bit of drawdown, want to stay in the trade but need to do something else or sleep, sometimes I'll just hedge the trade, then I don't have to worry about going further into drawdown.
This is a great strategy in the first hour of the market opening. I use it everyday and been 85% Plus.. my strategy is a little bit different but similar
what i dont get is the following, you put the Buyorder as a Stoploss and Closed it with the opening of the second short order. But what if you never reached your zone for the second short. instead the market picked up your buy order/SL and then goes down. so now you have your buy order in a loss and your short in profit. how to get out of this situation?
@@ifoundthistodayInteresting. I mean, with every additional hedge, he does make some amount of loss (because he has to wait and see if a hedge is needed while the price continues to go against him). So it makes sense that he can only cope with a handful of non-bounces in a row.
How can you hedging in the same account, whenever you have a short position if you hedging buy it will close that short position out asap?? So please let me know how can you hedging??!!
as easy as as that? my God i just learnt to trade, determine direction, smaller timeframes, find support and resistance zone to enter and wait for retrace ...patience is key whether buy or sell.
I understand what this guy is doing, but what I would have done differently is kept that initial sell/buy " locked" like he did then jus waited for another setup that would have wiped out the locked position. He wiped out the buy side completely leaving a floating sell order with no backend protection. It could have turned around on him and then he would have been fuked lol
Good point - so you would have kept the hedge trade (long) open until what point? Net breakeven between the two? Or until price reached one of the 'grey zones' to see how it reacted? Or close it as he did but then have a stop buy order as a trailing hedge that would trigger if price had reverted against the original short trade?
If you trade pairs like Xauusd and Gbpjpy, the market can create a false wyckoff tricking you to release the buy order, and continue to go bullish for another 300-500 pips creating more fake reversals along the way. Even if you keep setting new buy stops, you will end up releasing them due to the fake reversals. It can still result in huge losses if you keep adding more positions Whenever the market has abnormal daily range for that day, we can still get fuked big when we release the hedges
I see you're working on this one hour. You have several days worth of candles there. Do you type in you SL and TP to come out of your trades automatically or do you watch and manually make your moves on a daily basis?
One thing i have tried is that i follow support and resistance and keep adding in small sizes to my winning position. This eventually helps to reduce the loss side and I cut positions on next support resistance. Mostly in profit or least in breakeven. I have tried this multiple times and it worked well. But again there is always room for improvement.
Where is the difference to close the trade and reentry with double size ? It’s exactly the same result, but you can’t give it the name hedging. If you are hedged, you are neutral. Same when you close the position 🧐
VAlid point. And closing + doubling other direction = martingale. As far as I currently see it, hedging reduces the occurrence of losses, but if they come, they are bigger. On the bottom line the diffences could be minor, unless hedging (position size increase) gets out of hand. Then a loss will be so big, that a blown account is likely.
the difference is u dont close losing trades or u’ll have way less pretty much, but its risky if it goes the other way cause losses get bigger, if lets say on the second trade it went to “sl” which is another buy stop then you’re down 1% in one trade which is gonna be hedged but you’re down 2-3 or more in the other, ofc the profits are bigger too
i have the same practical question, how to operate this in real life. yesterday i was in a 45 min call with my broker trying to find a way to hedge using TradingView... but could not find a solution. we all know a buy order with a short position will close the current short position. my solution has been to use another account in another broker simultaneously, but it's complicated, not practical and dangerous if i need to manage the trade outside my computer environment (market closes for me at 1:30am and I'm not in the office until this time) anyone has a suggestion?

This is one of the best video ever . Thank you And love to see more videos on Hedging ❤
SL’s in hedging is important. Otherwise losses will just keep running up. But SL’s can cause you to close a trade prematurely. Hard balance sometimes.
hedge only once, is enough
Most people will never understand bt his right i trade hedge only it works u just hv to hold trades for to long bt it works

Very close to Shawn - MissionFX's strategy
very true
If you're funded, watch the drawdown with this strategy
How he trade he protects his drawdown with an opposite trade
@@itumelengratau6128 you have to be very careful how things are calculated depending on the platform you are using, because it can differ by company.
Never hedge with a funded account because you’ll always lose
@@jabumzizi1492how do you know are you pro?
@@jabumzizi1492 not true you just have to dial down your position sizing... with a stop loss you'd be in a worse position.

in my senses he is trying to find a loophole forcefully., however he is not understanding the concept at all., he would have closed buy trade at loss.

SL is crucial here. You just need to find the right position to avoid getting stopped out prematurely
Aaaah, the old Nick Shawn way 😁
How come you did not buy on the second sell zone?
This is perfect hedging .
It in hour ? How to exit the trade ? Tp?
The age old question with this strategy is, when do you cut the loss on the trade that’s in drawdown while it’s crashing in one direction?
yup.......was thinking the same thing.

This eventually helps to reduce the loss side and I cut positions on next support resistance. Mostly in profit or least in breakeven. I have tried this multiple times and it worked well.

Thanks guys
Did he say "haachhhh" or "aahhhchhh" one LOL First time hearing it said this way.
The drawdown with this strategy is alarming.. For beginners it will blow an account waiting for that Sell point
Not if you enter buy and sell same price at same time
Fees kick your ass tho on a 50 to 100k account
