[B]Rules for the Hedging Radar[/B]
[B]1) [/B][B]Entry Zone [/B]-> Go both long and short at the market if [B]the currency is at any level within the Hedging Zone. [/B]
[B]2) [/B][B]Profit Taking -[/B]>Target for the long order is the [B]top of the entry zone[/B], for the short order is the [B]bottom of the entry zone[/B].
[B]3) [/B][B]Stop Levels are Key Support and Resistance Points [/B]-> Place the actual stops a few pips above the higher level and a few pips below the lower level. The break of these levels signals that the ranges have been broken and the hedging strategy should no longer be implemented.
[B]4) [/B]The lower the Average True Range, the[B] Less Risky the Currency is for Hedging.[/B]
[B]**[/B][B]How is the % ATR Rank Calculated? [/B]
[B][/B]
[B][I]The average true range is the 90 days moving average of the currency?s true range. [/I][/B]The true range is the greatest of: the difference between the current high and the current low; the difference between the current high and the previous close or the difference between the current low and the previous close.[B][/B]
[B][I][/I][/B]
[B][I]The %ATR is the relative value of the ATR when weighted against the price. [/I][/B]For example, if the ATR for the EURGBP is 26 pips then the %ATR is 0.4 percent since 0.0026/0.6602 = 0.4% where 0.6602 is the quoted price of the EURGBP.[B][/B]
