"Hedging" Revisited

No. It does not add any safety nor does it in any other way influence the profit, the loss or the risk. Please see the links to the other threads and postings mentioned near the beginning of this thread where this has been discussed and explained in ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Why? This is the whole point of this discussion: it can be replicated EXACTLY. Not almost, not somehow similar, it can be replicated absolute EXACTLY! Merlin is not in danger of losing the 100k and Hanover is not in danger of having to leave the ...

"Hedging" Revisited

This might be true but why do you need "hedging"? You could trade your strategy unchanged at any NFA br0ker by applying the transformations I mentioned before. They are 100% equivalent and provide the same profit, loss and risk but you would at no ...

"Hedging" Revisited

This only means that your trading signals are correct, the "hedging" does not contribute any advantage. If you think otherwise then you are profitable without knowing why. This is dangerous. This posting (and anything else I might write in this ...

"Hedging" Revisited

no, this has nothing to do with where price will go. The "hedging"¹ will not help you. "Hedging" is just a more expensive way to close a trade. You still have to know when to open and when to close and for this you need to analyze the market and ...

"Hedging" Revisited

I have tried many times and many dll versions and never succeeded. You seem to be the first person who has ever claimed to have it fully functional! I (and many others) would be very interested which exact version of wine and which versions of the ...

Good Broker for a linux user?

Martingale is not a system, it is a money management scheme. And as such it cannot make a losing trading system into a winner. This is a mathematical fact, we don't need to discuss this part, trying to prove it wrong or insisting that it is wrong is ...

Martingale EA. Almost can't lose!

You don't need hedged trades for anything.

"Hedging" Revisited

I just see there is a pfgbest official on this thread. I have discovered the following at 0:00 server time (on the demo server) each day: image In a same pair hedge it will close the hedge at 0:00 but it will only close the older one normally ...

PFGBEST

I have not outlined something similar, I have 1:1 translated what you wrote, lot for lot. With your more generalized requirements we can write it as follows: translates to completely close the long and open x% short exposure before: +100% (100% ...

"Hedging" Revisited

translates to: close the long completely and open a half-sized short exposure before: +1 exposure after: -0.5 (needed order: sell 1.5) translates to: sell another half to make it a full sized short. exposure before: -0.5 exposure after: -1 (needed ...

"Hedging" Revisited

For the sake of completeness (if rapidminer is mentioned one must also mention its competitor knime): url Both are quite interesting and their feature lists are of the same caliber. Some things work better in rapidminer while other things are ...

Emulate the "Expert Advisor" button click

you can try to use spy++ to find the button ID and then use PostMessageA() to press the button (also you might have to find the handle to the main window by getting the parent window of the chart window). I have done a similar thing to make an EA ...

Synthetic hedges, cointegration, mean reversion and similar stuff

Yes, thats what I am trying to do currently. But it is too early to draw any conclusions, I had some profitable trades so far, some losses also, but overall profitable. But only a few trades during not more than a week or so don't mean much (or ...

spread monitor - Help with exponential calculation needed

I just closed it: image 200+something pips (I entered a bit late). I cosed it 10 pips above the mean, since it is meant to be "reversion to the mean" and not "reversion of my profits 10 pips before it could have hit (but unfortunately missed) an ...
