Hedging is for suckers and people who cannot take a loss. Went through this early in my trading journey, after failing to build an edge many times - and being a constantly losing trader. Hedging is not an answer. Build your edge, build your psychology, your ability to take good losses (losses that occur when you have executed your strategy flawlessly) and your risk management. You cannot be awake for all the moves you need to fix hedged positions, and the swap fees will destroy you. Nick Shawn used to pimp hedging - even he stopped after getting destroyed on a USDJPY never-ending run with no workable pullbacks. Do the hard work. Face up to your psychological weaknesses. You'll win. It is so freeing to simply day-trade Forex and be out of all positions before the close - with a peaceful mind.

Do a video where you make reference to amount per trade and not lots or units That would help me understand your videos..... Thanks

Hedging is a very good strategy as long don't use it on XAU or BTC & their friends that cost high margin. it just works only on currency pair w/ the largest leverage setting. 1: unlimited if possible.😊

The last time I invested in a stock that did extremely well was during Covid when I invested in Moderna & zoom and I am so sad that i missed out on Nvidia. I have $360,000 in cash and am looking for new sectors to invest in for the next five years. Any suggestions?

I'm mostly in cash and waiting for market to re-level on the reality of our situation. Or are there any ways I can avoid crunch and maximize my savings of $550k? I know election years are positive for the stock market about 90% of the time. Meanwhile, I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases

Good method if you have a 250k account, Good for 3-5% a month. Overlords are destroying us. Now if one was in Dubai or say UK its spread betting and NO taxes

Your calculations are wrong ..after taking the first profit below at 40pips... And set a sell stop 30 pips below.. What if market triggers the sell stop and goes back up....

Very good videos. Too much to take in on first view. I will be studying it. I am stuck in Gold right now with sell at 2504 and buy at 2565. In your video you set the stop loss 40 pips below and TP 40 pips above - moving them as price moves (I think). What boundaries would you recommend for XAUUSD? Please help.

We need more videoooooos

Hi Chad, thank you for all your videos ,they're great! One question : usually you pocket 20% of a profitable trade and use the remaining 80% of it, to trim the most distressed opposite trade. my question is why not use the whole 100% profit to trim? After all, the 20% you pocketed ,don't increase your equity at all. It increases only your balance. So why not use all our profit to trim? - that way we'll have more lots (units) on the sidelines ready for action. I hope that makes sense... Cheers mate!

Did anyone here tryed using this on Bitcoin, im having dificulty with the spreads, i keeep getting my orders opened so far away from market price an it sucks

Hello, I love this technique It really is my last piece in puzzle...I just have one question. What is max risk we should take for this.

Some questions: (1) can you do the hedge on same account or need another account? (2) when you trim, it is at a loss on that account, it will incur a wash Sale since you have a position on same. after multiple trims through the year, wash sale calculations will be a mess, or you need to be mark to market trader status?

Perhaps in such a trade, where you do not use the indicator signals, it is better to make an initial entry using pending orders, rather than entering immediately.I want to say that based on the current price, set the buy stop 15 points higher and the shell stop 15 points lower and let the market choose the direction itself.If it gains momentum, then there may be fewer false entries.

Does anyone know of any group or channel where we can discuss aspects of yhis strategy ?

I am back! Where are you? I do hope you come back. It has been nice following you and I have been doing well with it so far. I hit a huge $3k loss when I messed up and thought I really understood it......got too much of a gap between and got margin called. I have since recovered 1K and just slowly working my way back 'to infinity and beyond' I hope all is well and you are just silent due to not keeping up with YT and nothing more than that.

Not clear if youre long or short.

Can we Get this Calculator?

Are you waiting for price cross? If so then false break will enter position which is not confirmed by closed candle. Or if you wait for price close then you can't limit the 30/40 pips .theoretically it is working but running EA won't work.

I've only started hedging this week, thankfully very successfully so far. I think this will add an extra layer of security for me so thanks very much for sharing :)

Can u make a strategy with volume lot not Unit

What happened? wheres the uploads?

can you make a video about squeeze the hedge

What about a case where it hits the first sell stop but then reverses and continues upwards. Or say a much more ranging market than the strong trends you showcases

Your strategy is the game change for my entire trading journey, I made lots of backtesting, exactly followed your steps (its a math matrix few traders can catch this), for both xau and eur (hedge spread to take profit 1:2, max positionning for up and down 100k 100k when its required), yes its possible to make 10% per month without losses ❤ txn

Just on Question. What if the inside Hedge puts up the Buy and the Sell Order... do you have to trimm and squeez the inside trade now until its gone and then come back to the outside? or how to do this?

How do you close 184 units?? My min is 1000 units or 0.01 lots.

Why 30pips? What if 50pips?

I would like to draw your attention to your narration between 15:25 and 15:45 in the video. Shouldn't you have opened the hedge of the short position side by the size of the short position? which according to the video should be 29137 units. But you opened 11275 units, is that correct?

hello sir, i would like to get the calculation table formula

Just what I was looking for on USDCAD hedging

I want to thank you for providing all that you have. I have worked myself into a pickle and was able to work there a similar scenerio using FXReplay. It took me from Oct to April to get out of my trades and eventually get flat....taking a $2000 account to a balance of 6169 once I was flat (yes I know going flat IS not the point, but that is when I knew I would make it).

Hey I got a problem. I am trading LTC atm and using 45 lots. When I put that in the calculator it shows „4500$ keep and -4486$ apply“. Works fine for BTC and ETH tho. Any solves?

Can this be done on mt5 since the position size on mt5 is quantized and can only be trimmed in multiples of micro lots (0.01)(1000 units)??

Do you have the download the the spreadsheet available? I swore I had downloaded it before.

@theforexhedge Hello. Are you squeezing all stop orders, or just if you have just one opposide position opened? For exemple you have a 0.5 buy positions in minus, you will open at the market 0.5 buy, and place a stop sell order 1 lot. You will squeezing this stop order? Overall... are you squeezing all stop orders? Or just when you are starting the hadge?

Where can I buy the EA

Hi, I just wanted to ask you if there is any indicator to provide us the best position which can be used for openinv position in this great strategy?

i want to create a EA for mt5 to trade using hedging , but the bad this is working with lots and also i dont really understand how to trim from inside

Hi Chad, this channel is AMAZING, thanks man!

I LOVE this channel! I've just discovered you after trying to find someone to teach me all about hedging and on here its great to see the workings of what you do when you trade, thanks! Just subbed!

Hi Chad, hope you are well! Why you paused your new videos in the channel? I'm sorry for this!

How are you able to have long and short accounts with Oanda open at the same time? It alow me to have open just one account.
