I'm really curious does anyone here use hedging strategy in Forex and makes money with it? There are no hedging strategies discussed on this site, and I personally don't think that it is possible to make money with it. There are, however people who swear that they make money and furthermore reduce risk by using hedging. If there are some, please share your thoughts. Thank you

Hedging isn't simple, that's why not every trader is going for it imho.
Simple hedging may include two currency pairs.
More complicated one can have even more.
Even more complicated to me is hedging currency position in Forex with, say, trading options.

Is hedging profitable? I believe it is from what I read about it, however I never committed to try it out on regular basis.

I don't know if Edward of his guys have some hedging strategies, there is really nothing on the web about it, but I may add few strategies if someone is interested.

It would be nice if Edward or someone who actually uses hedging in trading posts some strategies. Maybe there should be a special thread reserved only for hedging strategies?

Hedging concept is about reducing risks and making money on daily rollovers. The trick is to find the right approach to balance trading positions in order to come out profitable. Plus having large account to sustain temporary losses is important.

Hey rich I saw your Hedging Lot Strategy and looks very risking. Actually I guess is more martingale than Hedging but you did a good job because it makes you think outside the box.

We all should help each other to create and live from this.
Thanks

for effective hedging, place a buy and sell on the same pair at the same time. let it travel 100 pips or so, until you see a reversal. then, when youre sure the reversal/retracement is imminent, sell the profitable side of this first trade, but hold onto the losing side. then place a new buy/sell heading in the opposite direction. when the second trade has traveled/retraced the 100 pips or so, close all positions.... if the distance traveled up was 100 pips, and the distance traveled/retraced back down was 100 pips, you will now have 100 pips worth of profit. don't beleive me? try it on paper and post back...
