This hedging topic comes up over and over and over again in these forums… A yet not one member ever bothers to do a search on what has gone before… Astonishing or simply by design?
And as has been shown in this thread, most have absolutely no idea on why to apply it, how to apply it, when to apply it… Yet, are all certain it doesn’t work… Simple Hedging can be used in many risk mitigating strategies in markets as I displayed years ago.
An example of trading in both directions which can be applied to curtail losses in the retail markets for traders outside of the US… Maybe people should be thinking why this strategy is banned in the US??
Seriously, so many here would fall into a barrel of t*t’s and still come up sucking their thumbs…
Edit. Here is a thread from even further back that covers Hedging in greater detail including the math!! Worth the read if one is serious about applying hedging in the retail markets… As always, trial it on a Demo first… DYOR… It’s worth it.
