Hedging vs Stoploss?? What would you Prefer??

[dmambi]

hello anybody who does hedging and tight stop losses in trading, i would like to know how it works and on which technical analsys or fundamentals you people do, its my pleasure if i come to know how it works as of i know most of the financial institues and big men do..

I am using hedging not depending on any type of analysis, but using it in place of SL and trying to get some success in this one. But it needs us to wait for long time with patience for reversal and also you need to trade with lowest lot order. It is not suitable for the aggressive traders.

A forex aspirant should learn to use SL first. Hedging is a complex method to learn and if one doesnt have sound knowledge it will result in a complex situation unable to close the positions. Moreover hedging require opening too many trades and sufficient capital to bear the market movements for a considerable period of time. So my advice is to use sl for the moment and learn hedging later

I prefer the stop loss for cutting and controlling my losses due to its simple nature that it works easily. Hedging is also a good option to control losses, but it takes extra skills to completely use it effectively when we are trading.

I think stop loss is a perfect order to place to save us from loss. It is in fact a very effective method. So I think SL order is the perfect way to save our account from being nill.

that hedging will be confused when opening a hedge, greed factor will make the account always threatened, although using a good strategy, if I just imitate the strategy that is in use the master trader, then I will develop, according to my trading style

Imitating the strategy of a master trader also does not gurantee the profit in this business. Because you still have your own emotions and habits that are controlling your every action and those play a major role in trading.

newbies and individual traders require stoploss as they dont trade 24/7 hrs
if there are national calamities, major news like politics etc they will sin thier
a/c hedging is used by most experinced and financial institues...

hedging and stop loss are ways to avoid,prevent and reduce from some losing, and as we know we can use it depend to the condition, when we think that the chart will move back with a good periode so we can use hedging and if we think that the chart will move back but for long time so we can use stop loss, and i think we do not play and hold the orders too long if we just take a strategy for short time or intra day

in my opinion better stop loss and immediately open position well. and hedging separately should you master the character and range of a pair. most importantly always use good money management.

stop loss is batter for newbie..but if you are exprienced trader & you know the art of trading then you can play with hedging.
with the help of hedging you can manage money management also.
