Very close to Shawn - MissionFX's strategy

[@richbalkissoon5322]

very true

[@iTradeForex]

if you have a hedging mindset , you must have a "PLAN B" if things go wrong . because you dont want to close overall in LOSS after long days . So before you open your first initial trade you must know whats your level and whats your plan , because PLAN B should also be a Profitable Setup .

[@A.e.t.h.e.r.]

Any suggestions for plan B?

[@Coldstones_]

Bro what’s your plan B

[@pm7775]

If you're funded, watch the drawdown with this strategy

How he trade he protects his drawdown with an opposite trade

[@MrColoradovideos]

@@itumelengratau6128 you have to be very careful how things are calculated depending on the platform you are using, because it can differ by company.

[@jabumzizi1492]

Never hedge with a funded account because you’ll always lose

@@jabumzizi1492 not true you just have to dial down your position sizing... with a stop loss you'd be in a worse position.

[@jonathanlee5185]

👍Btw, thanks, your trade-management strategy itself is clearly presented here. 👍(Please come back on the channel and explain what to do if either a) the price crashes through multiple hedges, or b) price nicks into a hedge but then bounces about. )

[@TommySoprano1220]

I understand what this guy is doing, but what I would have done differently is kept that initial sell/buy " locked" like he did then jus waited for another setup that would have wiped out the locked position. He wiped out the buy side completely leaving a floating sell order with no backend protection. It could have turned around on him and then he would have been fuked lol

[@mikeruggles8676]

Good point - so you would have kept the hedge trade (long) open until what point? Net breakeven between the two? Or until price reached one of the 'grey zones' to see how it reacted? Or close it as he did but then have a stop buy order as a trailing hedge that would trigger if price had reverted against the original short trade?

[@tanujbhardwaj3302]

in my senses he is trying to find a loophole forcefully., however he is not understanding the concept at all., he would have closed buy trade at loss.

[@frankreed5669]

I find hedging a really interesting concept but I’m yet to see someone who explains how to exit when it goes wrong

[@jonathanlee5185]

Agreed. This was my comment, above. My solution is no more than 3 hedges, and then close them all -- accepting the loss which is still there between the initial trade and the first hedge.

[@frankreed5669]

@@jonathanlee5185 I guess it would be no different to having 3 consecutive losses would it ?

[@ek348]

Was gonna ask the same question, tbh. This is hard if it still goes against u the 2nd and 3rd time but they might have some rules around it obviously

[@pz2x5v]

One thing i have tried is that i follow support and resistance and keep adding in small sizes to my winning position. This eventually helps to reduce the initial loss side and I cut positions on next support resistance. Mostly in profit or sometimes in breakeven. I have tried this multiple times and it worked well.

[@denzelchinho7628]

Was thinking the same ,

[@RaniaQuynhTramCao]

How can you hedging in the same account, whenever you have a short position if you hedging buy it will close that short position out asap?? So please let me know how can you hedging??!!

[@coreyburns7744]

Yep..... Nick has given the Sauce he was the first I saw Hedge❗️

[@jonathanlee5185]

👍Very much like Nick Shaun -- another great trader. Nick calls this risk managment 'dynamic hedging'.👍

[@StefanReich]

*Nick Shawn. But yeah you're right

[@forexbascketmilionaire3477]

you dont learn nothing from Nick Shawn. just a course seller

[@ntokozoguzunene1973]

@@forexbascketmilionaire3477 You're wrong dude

[@ifoundthistoday]

he stopped hedging .. after several blowouts when price didn't bounce soon enough

[@StefanReich]

@@ifoundthistodayInteresting. I mean, with every additional hedge, he does make some amount of loss (because he has to wait and see if a hedge is needed while the price continues to go against him). So it makes sense that he can only cope with a handful of non-bounces in a row.

[@jonathanlee5185]

👍Dynamic hedging -- thanks, yes, a smart management- strategy.👍Btw, what if price continues to move against you, in a trend reversal, at what point - and at what loss -- would you close????

[@didymario]

I was hoping the interviewer would ask that question.

[@rjeditz45]

You Should Do This On Bigger Time Frames With Small Lot Size Aiming Bigger Target Or Do This On 1M With Resistance And Trend And Use Small Lot With Short Targets So That You Can Make Money

[@kevinjohnson3521]

SL’s in hedging is important. Otherwise losses will just keep running up. But SL’s can cause you to close a trade prematurely. Hard balance sometimes.

[@hkaniugu]

hedge only once, is enough

[@all6senses]

Aaaah, the old Nick Shawn way 😁

[@TshilidziNemukongwe-ny1wr]

Most people will never understand bt his right i trade hedge only it works u just hv to hold trades for to long bt it works

[@milkshake2781]

im using hedging if i got unpredictable moment. and opposite direction must have multiplier than other one :D

[@shimizu67]

"Let me just go back here guys", nah, your analysis is biased at this point since you saw the next candles. I don't understand how anyone could take this seriously. You don't just "go back" on a trade. Next.

[@cyphatrader6035]

Thank you sir for the thorough explanation and demonstration of your hedging strategy. My question is: Do you use the same position size for all your entries?

[@vivosereni]

yes you have to use same position size .

[@P3ac30fM1nd]

woody from toys story

[@Tripl3333]

This is good......the only issue is that you have to be constantly in front of the screen, for me its not a problem if its during the day, but after a certain time it is difficult to follow.

[@ForexStoryteller]

Just use alerts. If you miss one no big deal, just wait for another level or set up, and continue from there. You don't need to live on the charts and using the hourly or h4 really does help if you're limited with time 👌

[@musoforhire]

It can work the opposite way. If I'm in a bit of drawdown, want to stay in the trade but need to do something else or sleep, sometimes I'll just hedge the trade, then I don't have to worry about going further into drawdown.

[@Tripl3333]

@@musoforhire ...true

[@Gargamoth]

I see you're working on this one hour. You have several days worth of candles there. Do you type in you SL and TP to come out of your trades automatically or do you watch and manually make your moves on a daily basis?

[@Pulmol7]

what i dont get is the following, you put the Buyorder as a Stoploss and Closed it with the opening of the second short order. But what if you never reached your zone for the second short. instead the market picked up your buy order/SL and then goes down. so now you have your buy order in a loss and your short in profit. how to get out of this situation?

[@zergetrh5705]

What do you do if the market reverse immediately after you open the hedging position ?

[@Benny_Njoroge]

SL is crucial here. You just need to find the right position to avoid getting stopped out prematurely

[@tsondang1169]

most excellent hedging style, thank you very much

[@benz500r]

You made profit on profit! It's like printing greenbacks.

[@vivosereni]

This is perfect hedging .

[@volumentrader]

Where is the difference to close the trade and reentry with double size ? It’s exactly the same result, but you can’t give it the name hedging. If you are hedged, you are neutral. Same when you close the position 🧐

[@yxcvmk]

VAlid point. And closing + doubling other direction = martingale. As far as I currently see it, hedging reduces the occurrence of losses, but if they come, they are bigger. On the bottom line the diffences could be minor, unless hedging (position size increase) gets out of hand. Then a loss will be so big, that a blown account is likely.

[@ek348]

the difference is u dont close losing trades or u’ll have way less pretty much, but its risky if it goes the other way cause losses get bigger, if lets say on the second trade it went to “sl” which is another buy stop then you’re down 1% in one trade which is gonna be hedged but you’re down 2-3 or more in the other, ofc the profits are bigger too

[@Mpfx97-97]

Yeah it should be on appetite of your balance

[@andrewb76]

This is exactly right- this type of "hedging" is nonsense.

[@janl6806]

@mrbwetch i am a futures trader and i have the same practical question, how to operate this in real life. yesterday i was in a 45 min call with my broker trying to find a way to hedge using TradingView... but could not find a solution. we all know a buy order with a short position will close the current short position. my imperfect solutions have been : 1) to use the next contract for the hedge, but it's very complicated since the prices will not be the same, so your hedge price will be placed based on the market structure of the next future contract, also you have the risk of low liquidity in the next future contract. 2) to use another account in another broker simultaneously, both options are complicated to execute, not practical and dangerous if i need to manage the trade outside my computer environment (market closes for me at 1:30am and I'm not in the office until this time) anyone has a suggestion?

[@rustynikau]

Can we run simultaneous trades on tradingView? I though new trades cancel any previous ones?
