You've misunderstood...again. The poster understands hedging, and so I agreed with him. He was not talking about going long and short at the same time, we don't call that hedging in the industry, we call that an idiot retail trader.

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Yes. So it tells us that taking leverage of 50:1 is a very risky affair, and that we should probably be using less unless we're gambling. If you intend to build an account over years, then you will want less leverage in my opinion. BEcause over ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Yes. You are streets ahead of most on this thread. Real hedging is a position taken to reduce risk. Buying put options when long is an example but not the only possibility.

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Liquidity isn't that high right now, it's US lunchtime, London has closed, and I could easily trade 10m+ ($1000+ per pip) in EURUSD either side of the market for less than a pip total spread. Your friend bigger than that? If you're willing to pay a ...

How liquid is forex during volatile news release periods?

Yes. That's why I think it's so important to have measures in place to ensure objectivity as much as possible.

The lack of objectivity in trading

Nice post. Deserves a more detailed response than this, but I hope to come back to it.

Forex Trading Philosophy

Ahh sorry. I'll change my word. She is my favourite. Lets not say best. Just my favourite

Technical Analysis Fallacy

She did do Mulan, but not just Mulan. She also did Aladdin and maybe some other Disney ones. Mainly a stage actress, but amazing. One of my favourites I would say the best asian singer I've ever heard...although that's a bit controversial and ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hey that's fine brokertrader. I'm just trying to make the point that what we think we see, is not always what is there. I don't have a problem with people making subjective judgments, just wondering what techniques people use to avoid making ...

The lack of objectivity in trading

Sigh....No, this discussion is on a level you can't understand. I've been right all along. Hedging actually means to take up a position that reduces your risk. Buying put options when you have a long portfolio can be a hedge. Going long and short ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Have you ever heard Lea Salonga, fti? Amazing singer

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Ok so you say it's not in a downtrend. I'm not going to argue against that, but wondering is that an objective decision or a subjective one? In other words do you have a clear set of rules that say to you, this is not a downtrend yet. Or is it a ...

The lack of objectivity in trading

Ok sorry. I've seen so much nonsensical stuff written on this forum in the past few days that it's becoming hard to tell if people are even serious lol

Do you believe this market is random?

First, do you accept now that there are patterns? If not, then there's no point in me explaining any further.

Do you believe this market is random?

A bubble is a pattern. If there is no similarity between market bubbles then why are they all referred to as bubbles? Anyway, obviously this is not the sort of pattern you're looking for (with ObiWan hand wave)

Do you believe this market is random?

What makes you think we enter the market at the same price levels and manage the trade the same way? I can be pretty confident most people don't do the same, as most people lose, so they can't be. If you don't want to believe patterns exist that's ...

Do you believe this market is random?

Ahhh someone who actually understands what hedge really means.

Hedging vs Stop Loss

It is unbelievable. Another clueless poster. I'd advise as a general rule, that nobody takes seriously anything any poster says who a) doesn't understand why hedging doesn't help b) doesn't even understand how to calculate the leverage he is using. ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Right, no number, you are unable to answer. It's such a simple question. More childish giggles of embarrassment from you. If you wanted to learn, I'd be happy to explain. Everyone has to start somewhere. If you just want to laugh then go ahead. I ...
