Hedging & SL.

[raja jee]

I think that for new traders, S/L is a better tool than hedging because in hedging you are using more free margin because you will open 2 trades for it. One in buy and one in sell. Whereas, S/L can be set on a single trade that defines your maximum range of loss that you can bear.

As far as I am concerned, I think the best choice for me to choose it using Stop Loss when I am trading in forex.The real reason that I do not like to use Hedging is that I can not manage my trade properly.I think most ofus may not manage it well.

there is no doubt that the hedging is a good methodology to trade into the market but trader should not forget that if you not know how to hedge the psoition when to close the reverse order then may you get the more bigger loss

hedging and stop loss both are different identity when traders use hedging mean select two product which product move opposite direction e.g gold and crude oil if i buy gold on the other hand i will sell the oil this is called hedging buy stop loss is you liquidate your position from the market in loss

actually hedging is not a good practice in forex. when you hedged your account it means you will fixed the floating loss. if your account got a lot of floating loss due to some trade in a single direction. if you have enough money then it is better to wait for the trade to get in profit. when it got in profit then it will be a big one. stop loss is also a good option so that you did not need to face big loss in long swing.

I wanna to say that the hedging and stopp loss are two different thing i think both of them are good in trading strategy but i think on should take decision if the market go on oposite direction one should take the decision of stop loss or hedging but its difficult to operate hedging while toploss means you end your position by takeing stop losses so you need to be perfect and perfections will comes with the times that you spend on tradin !!

The stop lost is like a must in every trader strategy, when the price goes to my direction then i set the SL at the entry point so when reversal happened i dont losers anything, and about a hedging i prefered a crossed hedging over directed the hedging, direct hedging is so plain that could make a double sword i see really !

[Sumber.Rejeki]

using the stop loss is much better because when the trader use the stop loss he make the trades and close them in short time so that he can open new trades and get some profits but with the hedging the trader open the trades for a long time and may close the trades on losses

I see why a lot of traders choose technical analysis over fundamental analysis as technical analysis can always be carried out as the price history is always there etc so it's easily accessible and everything, so i can see where you are coming from although i think having both would definitely complement one's trading decisions .
