Scientist replied Apr 13, 2007I made a mistake today so I took a hit of about 200 pips unnecessary. Makes you appreciate EAs
It wasn't such a bad idea entering 2 lots today after all. The cost of the spreads though would bring me to about B/E. A move above 236.70 would find ...Daily Scalping Hedging/ATR Discussion

Scientist replied Apr 12, 2007Looking back, it was a good call to use only 1 lot for today. Primary buy/sell hedge were stopped out and reversed. GBP/JPY moving higher now after the ECB (not very hawkish statement) dip. Lets see if it can reach pre-ECB levels or it will just sit ...

Scientist replied Apr 12, 2007It might be a good idea to increase lots after G7, hoping that it will spark some volatility. The recent lack of comments about the carry trade may prove this wrong though. Stay tuned...

Scientist replied Apr 12, 2007The advantage is yet to be determined, thats why I started this thread. I'm guessing that this hedging version will provide high probability trades (less losses from whipsaws/ranging, one of the reasons I opened only a 5k demo) so a progressive type ...

Scientist replied Apr 12, 2007It will be a stop or limit order at the price of the previous one. So if we started the day with a buy/sell (the buy being the primary) at 235.90 and the sell gets stopped at 236.40 you should enter a sell stop order at 235.90, SL=236.40, TP=235.40.

Scientist replied Apr 11, 2007We are currently at 236.18 and I'm plus $250. I feel that a new short-term uptrend is developing. Rhythm will be entering with a buy later today so I will be doubling my lots in hope that if it breaks up it will hold and I at least will break-even. ...

Scientist replied Apr 11, 2007yezbick, On another thread you mentioned starting at +50/-50. You could do that but you would not have any protection against whipsaws/ranging market. What you could do is start at those levels and then continue with the above system, saving some ...

Scientist replied Apr 11, 2007I plan to increase the lots after we are trading in an established range (something like first day all orders 1 lot, second day 1, third 3 etc). With the hedge order we allow for a 200 pip range. Yesterday the day ended with a $200 loss. Today the ...
