Sure there is... I buy a currency because I expect it to appreciate. I sell a currency because I expect it to depreciate. It's only one directional to obtain a profit or loss.

"Hedging" Revisited

ok my conclusions must be wrong and my thinking is severely flawed because even tho my 1546 trade example is here for you to see and your counter to this 1546 trade example is not here so your thinking must be right? Gotchya. You are now the one who ...

"Hedging" Revisited

I know the answer as demonstrated in the top of page 3 and the results pic I posted a bit later. It was what the OP stumbled upon as well which started this thread in the first place. I catch you, but you don't catch me that's the difference. The ...

"Hedging" Revisited

yes, understood... but how does this strategy make it any more or less risky than what is otherwise being discussed here? I've already warned about the inherrant danger in not knowing what you are doing and I keep doing so for obvious reasons. In a ...

"Hedging" Revisited

wow I finally found something I can agree with you on. But saying a loss is a loss is flawed... because the minute you open a trade it's usually a loss due to the spread. If you hold onto a winner long enough it can become a loss. So how do you ...

Ridiculous Trading Myths

The answer to this is that according to the "stats pic" I posted is that any single trade I open has a 78.5% chance of being profitable. In base ball this would be equivalent to batting .785 Please name 1 single batter with such a batting record. ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Yes, rarely in life are you handed something on a silver platter. Part of the reason it is here is that NFA / CFTC rules kill the method from being employed in the US. The next part is to show the pundits there is more than 1 way. A way in which you ...

"Hedging" Revisited

yeah a concept can be adapted to your own trading technique. I wouldn't go so far as to say focusing on trades could be harmful, unless you focus so much that it clouds your better judgement. By seeing the trades of others it might unlock something, ...

Let's be Honest

Bingo. Yeah there is some skill to it but most of the time it comes down to about 10-15% of the time where it can be minorly tricky / 3% quite sticky / 2% white knuckle roller coaster the other 80% of the time it's money falling from the sky. I ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Well that was part of the beauty of the idea... you really didn't have to be too skilled most of the time because the EA was designed to take advantage of a range bound market. What is a range bound market? It differs from trader to trader and chart ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Thanks for posting that... I know I have come off a little brash well maybe alot in cetain places... but undoubtley I have a short fuse for people who don't listen to what I am telling them to do. Let me help you so you understand... but they go ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Well in the statement I posted in page 3 all the spread and swap costs were figured in... the account is still profitable even though you claim it to be inefficient. But somehow someway it makes up for this inefficiency? explain that... if it is so ...

"Hedging" Revisited

I doubt it... I mean how many examples and in depth explanation do we need when all they do is run back to the calculator to figure their static example on a dynamic price chart? I give them a statment that is time stamped that they could plot out ...

"Hedging" Revisited

I thought you weren't going to address me anymore? I gave you the proof at the top of page 3 as far as you being able to equally duplicate it with as much as it made or more is beside the point. I suppose I could ask you to provide me proof ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Humility is the holy grail — Well it's not that math doesn't function IMHO... it's just that the maths are trying to compute it while looking at a static market. The market is not static and because it's not is what makes the "hedge" ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Man oh man... I wish I could have found the words to say that a couple of pages ago.... absolutely brilliant way of putting it. That was something I forgot to say... is that just because the "bar" is one size doesn't mean it only traveled the ...

"Hedging" Revisited

yeah you would never get off that easy with me.... hehehe. Well that's what everyone should be here to do as well but unfortunately we live in an imperfect world where everyone is hung up on themselves. My whole point is how are new things ...

"Hedging" Revisited

I already posted the scenario at the top of page three. It is up to you to recreate it... This isn't about making someone leave FF. Hell I could leave any time... whoopti-do who really cares? I don't have an ego that needs soothing. You don't have ...

"Hedging" Revisited

Now that there is some "FUZZY MATH" — Yeah ok you can join the party too... another pundit. I guess everybody is going to be signing up for additional math classes next semester.
