Full transcript
- 0:00It amazes me how many traders overlook
- 0:03this simple strategy. And what we're
- 0:06going to look at is hedging. Now,
- 0:08hedging can mean many different things
- 0:11for many different traders, right? Cuz
- 0:14there's many ways that you can hedge,
- 0:16but I'm going to show you a very simple
- 0:19methodology that I use with every single
- 0:22one of my trades. And ultimately, what
- 0:25it does is maximize profits and minimize
- 0:28losses. Okay. Now, I'm actually going to
- 0:31take later on in the vid, I'm going to
- 0:33take uh a tutorial from our VIP Discord
- 0:37and I'm going to share that with you.
- 0:39But before I do, guys, we need to
- 0:42understand how I hedge. All right? So,
- 0:46let's start there. We're going to look
- 0:47at how I hedge. We're then going to look
- 0:49at the pros and cons and we're going to
- 0:53help you make a decision as to whether
- 0:55you want to add hedging into your
- 0:58trading system or not. All right. So,
- 1:00first of all, let's take a look at how I
- 1:03hedge and what I mean by hedging. So,
- 1:05firstly, let's understand how I hedge
- 1:09and why I hedge, right? Why do I think
- 1:11this is such a powerful tool? Let's
- 1:14understand that. Now to understand it
- 1:17you need to understand my entry right.
- 1:21So let's understand that first. Now any
- 1:24entry I
- 1:25have I want to be with daily trend. So
- 1:28this is Aussie dollar US dollar. This is
- 1:30the daily chart and I've put this blue
- 1:33line in right because this is the point
- 1:35where we break these highs and this
- 1:37becomes an uptrend. Okay. And at that
- 1:42point it continues to be an uptrend.
- 1:44Right? just following structure. If you
- 1:47haven't checked out my price action
- 1:49video, guys, go check that out. This
- 1:51explains structure and trend. But we are
- 1:54in an uptrend all the way until we break
- 1:58that low, right? So from here to here,
- 2:04right, I can look for buy
- 2:06trades.
- 2:08Okay. So I want to be with day trend.
- 2:12Now the second thing we need to
- 2:13understand is my entries right. So
- 2:18normally guys I enter on H4 and or H1
- 2:21but let's drop down to the H1 just to
- 2:23keep it on one time frame and we can
- 2:25understand. So in all of this price
- 2:28action right I'm looking for the same
- 2:31entry and I'm looking for a buy right
- 2:34and my entry. Okay. So, you can see that
- 2:38blue line, guys. That's where we had
- 2:40that big bullish candle on the day
- 2:42chart, right? Breaking these highs.
- 2:44That's when that day chart uh day trend
- 2:47starts now. What I'm looking for is
- 2:50this. Right? If I just show you this
- 2:52level through
- 2:55here, right? I am looking for a piece of
- 2:59price action where I
- 3:02see price creating a level. Right? So
- 3:06you can clearly see this has become good
- 3:09resistance. Then it breaks that level.
- 3:12It retraces and then what be what was
- 3:15once resistance becomes support and then
- 3:18we get a nice bullish candle which we
- 3:21see here bouncing off that level. And
- 3:24for added confluence I like to be above
- 3:27the moving average 20. Right. So this
- 3:30te's up. This is a pretty textbook A1
- 3:33setup for me. Right.
- 3:36Now, at this point, okay, let's zoom in.
- 3:40Let's put in a couple of levels. So, I'm
- 3:42going to enter on this bullish
- 3:45candle. Okay. And I'm going to put my
- 3:48stop
- 3:49loss below this swing low here. So, I'm
- 3:52going to give it a little bit of room.
- 3:54I'm going to put my stop loss down here.
- 3:57Okay. So, I've marked them on the chart,
- 4:00guys, because this is where I entered
- 4:02the trade. This is my buy. And this is
- 4:05where most people would have a stop
- 4:07loss. But at this point, I am going to
- 4:11have a sell
- 4:16stop, not a stop loss. And this is how I
- 4:20hedge. So let's say we buy one. If price
- 4:25goes against me, I will sell one of the
- 4:30same
- 4:32value. Okay.
- 4:34Now, let's just say for argument's sake,
- 4:37my
- 4:38target was up here, right? So, I'm
- 4:42looking for roughly one once. Let's say
- 4:45my target was up here.
- 4:49Okay, so let's zoom in. There's my
- 4:51trade, right? It's set. I've entered. I
- 4:55want price to come up here and hit that.
- 4:57Or worst case scenario, it will come
- 4:59down and hit my sell trade. Not a hedge.
- 5:03uh not a stop loss, sorry. Okay. And as
- 5:06you can sorry, just drawing random
- 5:08lines. As you can see, guys, right, this
- 5:12trade doesn't work
- 5:14out. Okay. So, you can see we tried to
- 5:17come up, price actually broke structure
- 5:21here, right? But price continues to come
- 5:24down and bang. At that
- 5:27point I am entered into a sell trade.
- 5:32Right? So I bought
- 5:34here and now I am in a sell trade of the
- 5:38same value. So I am
- 5:40holding this as a loss, right? And it
- 5:44will be 1%. That's my risk
- 5:47management. And I will just hold this 1%
- 5:51loss. I'm still in it. A normal stop
- 5:54loss would mean you're totally out of
- 5:55the trade, right? And you've lost 1%.
- 5:58But I will hold this trade open with a
- 6:01buy and a sell until I get another
- 6:04setup, right? It's as simple as that. So
- 6:07hedging allows me to have another bite
- 6:10of the cherry, right? So to speak. And
- 6:15remember guys, in all of this price
- 6:16action that I'm showing you, I'm looking
- 6:20for a buy trade. Uh, I'm looking for
- 6:23buys because we're in a daily uptrend.
- 6:26So, let's just follow price action,
- 6:28trend, and structure, right? So, this is
- 6:31where we're
- 6:33at. Um, okay. So, this is coming down
- 6:36here, right? And
- 6:39then we can see a new level forms here,
- 6:42right on the H1.
- 6:46So, if I put this level in, and remember
- 6:48guys, if you remember my first entry up
- 6:51here, I'm looking for a break of that
- 6:53level. Comes back, retests it, nice
- 6:56bullish candle, away we go. It just so
- 6:59happens that trade didn't play out,
- 7:01right? But let's zoom in on this trade
- 7:04now. Right, you can see I have the same
- 7:08setup, right? It's proving to be good
- 7:10resistance. We break it, we retest it,
- 7:14we get a nice bullish
- 7:16candle.
- 7:17Okay, so it doesn't matter what your
- 7:21trade entry criteria is. The idea of
- 7:24hedging is the same. If my first one
- 7:26doesn't work out, let's see if my second
- 7:28trade works
- 7:30out. Now, at this point, right, I'm
- 7:33going to draw this in again.
- 7:37Right, I will
- 7:40close this sell trade. Right, cuz
- 7:44remember I don't want to look for sells.
- 7:46I'm looking to buy the market,
- 7:49right? And at this point, I will close
- 7:53this sell trade at this point because
- 7:56it's a new setup. It's a buy
- 7:59setup, right?
- 8:02So at this
- 8:04point all the way down to roughly
- 8:08here, I have made profit on this sell
- 8:12trade. Okay, that is profit on the sell
- 8:16trade and I've closed it. But remember,
- 8:20I'm still in this buy trade all the way
- 8:23up
- 8:24here.
- 8:26Okay? Right? But my target is still the
- 8:29same because I'm with the day chart,
- 8:33right? And then I still need to protect
- 8:36myself, right? I'm not using a stop
- 8:38loss. But below
- 8:40here, I will put in a new sell stop,
- 8:44right? I need to protect myself. I've
- 8:46closed this sell stop over here. I need
- 8:50to put a new sell stop in here. And this
- 8:52was a buy one. This will be a sell stop
- 8:55one again, right? And I've taken profit
- 8:58on the way down. And then I'm just
- 9:00looking, you know, for this trade to
- 9:02play out as well.
- 9:05Right. And then if we just play things
- 9:07along, right now you've got some great
- 9:11options. Okay, remember your buy trade
- 9:14was up here, right? And now you've taken
- 9:17all of this profit here on the sell
- 9:20trade. Now, even if you just hold this
- 9:23trade back up to the buying level,
- 9:27right, you
- 9:29have a profitable trade, even if you got
- 9:32out of break even, right? And at no
- 9:36point did this did this trade break
- 9:40structure. Okay? Right? And then it
- 9:43breaks down again. But that's my point,
- 9:46guys. Right? It gives
- 9:48you another option to enter the trade.
- 9:51Now, just to
- 9:54recap, if we just let this trade get
- 9:57stopped out, right, that would have been
- 9:58a losing trade minus 1%. Okay. Now, as
- 10:04it happens, we didn't do a stop loss and
- 10:07we hedged and we started selling all the
- 10:09way down to here, right? And then we
- 10:12closed that sell hedge.
- 10:15Now if this was
- 10:171% right then
- 10:21this was
- 10:23also roughly 1%. So we made 1% on this
- 10:27sell trade and then it come
- 10:30back to break even and you know you've
- 10:33got decisions to make. You can get out
- 10:35of break even you could perhaps let some
- 10:37profit run etc. But you can see we
- 10:41turned a losing trade back into a
- 10:44profitable trade if we close this at
- 10:46break
- 10:47even. And while the market is in this
- 10:51uptrend, I will continue to do that,
- 10:54right? I will continue to do that
- 10:57looking for H1 structure breaks, right?
- 11:01And just keep following that system. If
- 11:03we go back to the day chart now, right,
- 11:07you can
- 11:08see right eventually, right, all the
- 11:11trades because we're with the day chart,
- 11:14right, you could have potentially left
- 11:16some of it and we would have had a
- 11:18really nice trade. So that is why I
- 11:23hedge and that is how I hedge. I have
- 11:27the same trade entry. I take the first
- 11:30entry. If it doesn't work out, I hedge
- 11:33and then I wait for another entry. You
- 11:36do need to be careful, guys, with, you
- 11:38know, increasing risk, right? Every time
- 11:41I move my sell stop, my hedge, I'm
- 11:45increasing risk, right? And you got to
- 11:48be careful of commissions. All right?
- 11:50But I just wanted to simplify what I
- 11:53look for when I hedge. Now guys, we're
- 11:55going to try and we're going to look at,
- 11:57you know, the positives, uh, some of the
- 12:00drawbacks, and we're going to look at
- 12:01some examples that I actually shared in
- 12:04the VIP trading academy. All right, so
- 12:07let's go check out that video now. Um,
- 12:09and it gives you real life examples
- 12:12again. Hello traders, trader Tom here
- 12:15from Simply Forex, the channel created
- 12:17to help you succeed at trading. In
- 12:20today's tutorial vid, we are going to
- 12:23look at the good, the bad, and the ugly
- 12:26of hedging. Okay, I'm not talking about
- 12:29ex-girlfriends. We're talking about
- 12:31hedging. And the good, the bad, and the
- 12:33ugly is also an excellent western film
- 12:36starring Clint Eastwood. Check it out.
- 12:39But let's focus on trading. Um, so yeah,
- 12:42basically we're going to look at pros
- 12:43and cons of hedging, guys. And if you
- 12:45stay till the end of the vid, I'll show
- 12:46you exactly how I hedged my trades this
- 12:49week. So, I decided to do a hedging vid
- 12:53because we found ourselves in a couple
- 12:54of hedges. And as you can see, these are
- 12:57my trades from my VIP trading academy.
- 13:00So, we're going to look at Canadian
- 13:02dollar Swiss Frank sells. Yeah, you
- 13:05know, look at the entries, the
- 13:08stop-loss, hedge position, etc. But
- 13:10they're all mapped out on my charts,
- 13:12which I'll show you in a minute. We got
- 13:14hedged in that trade. I closed the
- 13:16hedge, etc. We're going to discuss all
- 13:19of that. That's more the bad and the
- 13:21ugly. And then we're also going to look
- 13:24at this trade as well. Euro pound. Okay.
- 13:26And again, please check out entries uh
- 13:30hedge positions. This also hit uh the
- 13:34hedge as well. And we're going to see
- 13:35how I've managed both of these trades.
- 13:37This is more of the good. Okay. So,
- 13:40let's get rid of them. Now, do you know
- 13:42the trades that we're talking
- 13:44about? Okay. And we're going to look at
- 13:46these on the charts to make sense of
- 13:48them. So, let's start with the bad and
- 13:52the ugly. So, Canadian dollar Swiss
- 13:54Frank um was a sell trade. And with
- 13:57hedging, right, let's make this a bit
- 14:00bigger. With hedging, right, the number
- 14:03one rule like top rule is we must be
- 14:07with day trend. Okay? And as you can see
- 14:10guys, we are with daily trend. Okay, we
- 14:15were getting lower highs, lower lows. I
- 14:18will only hedge with daily trend. Okay,
- 14:23this was in a downtrend. Okay, so check.
- 14:25And look what's happened here. Come down
- 14:27and hit our higher time frame target.
- 14:30But we will look at this in more detail
- 14:32in a minute. Now, if we drop down to the
- 14:35H1, right? And I'm going to get rid of
- 14:37this big price action on the left so we
- 14:39can actually see the chart, right? And
- 14:41I'm just going to, you know, discuss my
- 14:44trade, okay? And how I got hedged. So,
- 14:48if we follow H1 structure, there was
- 14:50this big move down, you know, breaking
- 14:53these lows over here. And I just waited
- 14:56for a retrace. And as you can see, this
- 14:59is S1. This is my first sell. Okay? And
- 15:04I started selling with a view to price
- 15:06coming lower. And what happened is it
- 15:10hit my buy my buy order here. So most
- 15:13people will put where I've put my buy
- 15:16order will have a stop-loss here. Okay?
- 15:19And price will hit that stop-loss and
- 15:21the trade will finish. The trade is
- 15:23over. We are done. Okay? And there's
- 15:25nothing wrong with that either, guys.
- 15:28You know, as long as you protect
- 15:29yourself. If you use a stop-loss, no
- 15:31problem. that is a good idea or we can
- 15:34use hedging which I'm going to show you
- 15:36now which also protects us and is a good
- 15:38idea right they both offer protection
- 15:43um so yeah I entered here with a view to
- 15:46price coming down it didn't it come up
- 15:49and it hit my buy hedge all right now
- 15:53I'm in a loss and this here is the
- 15:57equivalent of 1% this is important so we
- 16:00can gauge our risk as this trade
- 16:04continues. So that's 1% risk. All right.
- 16:07So I'm carrying a 1%
- 16:10loss. And then this area here is where I
- 16:15closed my buy trade. Remember my bias is
- 16:20to sell. So I don't want to be in a buy
- 16:24trade. Okay? I want to be selling. So
- 16:28why did I get out of this position here?
- 16:30So if we go to the H4
- 16:34now it become a bit of a H4 play. So
- 16:38excuse
- 16:39uh yeah excuse the the writing guys. It
- 16:42becomes a bit distorted but this big H4
- 16:45candle here right bouncing off of this
- 16:48level here seemed to me like an
- 16:51excellent opportunity for me to get out
- 16:54of my buy trade. Right. So when price
- 16:57retraced a little you can see this
- 16:59yellow line. That's the the yellow line
- 17:01I pointed out on the H1. I closed this
- 17:05buy
- 17:06order. Okay. And put a new buy order
- 17:09here above this last
- 17:12high. So, let's go back to the H1 so we
- 17:15can see that more
- 17:17clearly. Okay. So, this is where we're
- 17:20at. All right. So, because of that H4, I
- 17:23closed my buy pedge here, right? And at
- 17:28this point you have to understand I have
- 17:33closed basically half of this 1%. So I
- 17:37have closed a 0.5 I have taken
- 17:420.5% loss at this stage. Okay which I
- 17:47was fine with cuz I still you know on
- 17:49the back of that H4 you know it told me
- 17:53that price could come lower right. It
- 17:56didn't. Okay. So now, like I said, this
- 17:59was that last H4 high. A few pips above.
- 18:02I've put a new buy order. Still at the
- 18:06same value of this sell order above that
- 18:09last H4 high.
- 18:12Right. So price action. It almost comes
- 18:15up. It almost hits my stop and then it
- 18:17comes crashing down a bit. And I'm
- 18:19thinking, okay, great. Tom, you're a
- 18:21genius. It's coming back down now. You
- 18:23know, we're going to make a nice profit
- 18:25on this trade.
- 18:27this
- 18:29happened. Okay. So at this point right
- 18:34you have to understand your money and
- 18:36risk management. The trade has gone
- 18:39against you further. All right. And this
- 18:42can happen in hedging. Okay. So now what
- 18:45are we what's our risk now? So remember
- 18:48I secured this 0.5%
- 18:52uh loss. Yeah. earlier on, but now this
- 18:58this original sell in here and this buy
- 19:02order up
- 19:03here, this is now at roughly let's say a
- 19:101.3% loss. Yeah, if this was
- 19:151%. Yeah, this is now
- 19:171.3%. Back up to here. So right now I am
- 19:22in a once this this buy order here gets
- 19:27triggered here I am at a
- 19:311.8% loss on this trade which is
- 19:35absolutely fine in terms of my risk
- 19:38management. Yeah, mine should be about I
- 19:40I I won't go any any higher than 3%. 3%
- 19:44is like my puking point and I will just
- 19:46close the trade.
- 19:48All right. So, this is where we're at
- 19:50currently. All right. So, the hedge is
- 19:53not going in our favor, you know, but we
- 19:56need to manage it from a from a money
- 19:58management point of view. Okay.
- 20:02Now, that's bad. Now, the ugly, yeah,
- 20:06with reference to my, you know, uh,
- 20:08original good, the bad, and the ugly is
- 20:11this guys. Right. So, this point here,
- 20:14remember, I am still looking for sales.
- 20:17The day chart is still in a downtrend.
- 20:20Nothing has changed on the higher time
- 20:22frame, the day chart. Okay, but
- 20:24obviously we're going to get movements
- 20:26on the lower time frames, which is what
- 20:28we're
- 20:29seeing now. I'm hedged, okay, at a 1.8%
- 20:35loss, right? But now look at this last
- 20:38H1 swing low here. Right? If I take all
- 20:41of this away now, because you know where
- 20:42we're at, okay, this is closed. This is
- 20:46open and this is open and we're at a
- 20:501.8% loss in terms of
- 20:53risk. All right, but it's not lost until
- 20:56I close the trade, which is the beauty
- 20:58of hedging. You can continue to manage
- 21:00the
- 21:01trade.
- 21:03Now, looking at H1 structure, right,
- 21:08okay, if price breaks that level, I'm
- 21:12interested. Now, if we zoom out now and
- 21:14go down to this crazy price action
- 21:16because everything gets a bit distorted.
- 21:19So, that H1 area
- 21:22here, I would have closed this buy
- 21:25trade. Yeah. So, let's say price came
- 21:28up. Let's say we got a nice bearish
- 21:30candle. Let's say this one was bearish
- 21:32and it closed here, right? I would have
- 21:35closed this buy trade and put a new buy
- 21:38order above here. Okay. again further
- 21:43increasing my risk but still within 3%.
- 21:46All right, I would have you know closed
- 21:49that buy order and then it would have
- 21:51come crashing down and this original
- 21:54sale over here would be nicely in
- 21:56profit. You know hedging's the holy
- 22:00grail. I'm a genius. Everything's
- 22:02wonderful, right? But that didn't
- 22:04happen. What has
- 22:06happened is this. Yeah, I wasn't awake.
- 22:10I have woken up to price down here.
- 22:13Yeah. And I was thinking price what's to
- 22:15hap happening with the markets and
- 22:17basically all the flight to say the
- 22:18currency pairs have gathered strength
- 22:21right and Swiss Frank is one of those.
- 22:23So now once price gets down to here you
- 22:28know and it's hit this this is a weekly
- 22:30support level this blue line it the
- 22:33trade is just kind of over for me. All
- 22:36right. So, I have actually closed this
- 22:39trade for a minus
- 22:421.8% trade uh loss, sorry. Yeah, minus
- 22:481.8%. All right. Which is not what you
- 22:51want, but it's okay. It's well within my
- 22:53risk management. The trade is just gone.
- 22:57Yeah, there's there's there's no value
- 22:59in this trade anymore for me. Yeah, it's
- 23:01hit the higher time frame target. We'll
- 23:04see what happens from here. So that's
- 23:06it. I This is Canadian dollar Swiss
- 23:08Frank. This is how I have finished my
- 23:10hedge. All right. Minus 1.8%.
- 23:13Roughly. Now that's the bad and the
- 23:16ugly. Okay. And I would have gotten out
- 23:19of this trade, but should have, would
- 23:20have, could have are the words of a fool
- 23:23when it comes to trading. And that's
- 23:24also a
- 23:26song. Now, let's look at Euro pound
- 23:29because that was the next trade we were
- 23:30going to look
- 23:31at. All right. And this is in real time
- 23:34as well. And you know, we don't know how
- 23:36this is going to pan out. Yeah, we we'll
- 23:38keep an eye on it. Right. But again, if
- 23:41we start with the day
- 23:43chart, I am with trend. Let's get rid of
- 23:48that. Rule number one of hedging, right?
- 23:51We are in an
- 23:52uptrend stroke range. So for that
- 23:56reason, we are with trend. Yeah. These
- 23:59are the last lows of the range. These
- 24:02are the highs. We're in an uptrend
- 24:04stroke range. It makes sense to look for
- 24:06buys from here. Okay, we've got a nice
- 24:10big bullish candle. A wick bounced off
- 24:12that level. You know, everything's
- 24:14telling me to take price back up to
- 24:16here. All right, so we're still with the
- 24:19day chart and what it's telling me. We
- 24:22must be in order to hedge. I would not
- 24:25hedge against trend. You could be in a
- 24:28world of hurt.
- 24:31All right. So, this is Euro pound. Now,
- 24:33if we drop down to the
- 24:35H1, let's now look at this hedge. All
- 24:38right. So, let me get rid of some of
- 24:41this. Yeah. Okay. Let's let's zoom in
- 24:43here. Now, after this big move, yeah, I
- 24:48said as soon as we get a bullish candle
- 24:52that uh forms above the moving average
- 24:5520, I will look to buy it. Okay. I did.
- 24:58I bought it here. Okay. Trade broke this
- 25:02level which is where my my hedge was
- 25:05this sell. And remember these are at the
- 25:07same value. So B1 let's say this is one
- 25:11lot. My sell will be one
- 25:14lot. All
- 25:16right. Okay. So they're the same. Now
- 25:20this buy ID didn't go according to plan
- 25:23on the H1. It's come down and I'm now in
- 25:27buy one and sell one. Okay. And again,
- 25:31that is
- 25:341% of
- 25:36risk.
- 25:38Okay. Now, price has come down. We're in
- 25:41a H1 downtrend at this point. Okay. And
- 25:44price price got to here. Okay. So, this
- 25:47next line here, why is this important?
- 25:50This is where I closed my cell
- 25:56hedge. All right. This is where I closed
- 25:59my cell
- 26:00hedge. Okay. I then put a new sell hedge
- 26:06down
- 26:06here. So why did I close this sell hedge
- 26:10here? And in this scenario, this sell
- 26:12hedge is like two pips in profit. But if
- 26:14you take out commission, it's break
- 26:16even,
- 26:17right? Why did I close it out here? If
- 26:20we look at the
- 26:21H4, you can see that was because of this
- 26:25H4. Look at H4 structure. That was
- 26:28because of this H4 wick that bounced off
- 26:31of this support. Yeah. And I closed I
- 26:35closed this sell
- 26:36order on that candle. You know, it with
- 26:40hedging, I'm still trading price action
- 26:43and the chart. Nothing changes. That's
- 26:45what I'm looking at,
- 26:47right? So that's why I closed it. It was
- 26:49a H4. So the H, if you think of it like
- 26:51this, guys, the H1 trade didn't work
- 26:53out, right? But now the H4 trade so far,
- 26:58yeah, it could all change. Looks like
- 27:00it's working out, right? Okay, we shall
- 27:03see. And my target is still up
- 27:06here. Okay, so we go back to the H1,
- 27:10right? I've done a couple of things
- 27:11here. So, I close
- 27:15this sell hedge
- 27:17here for a small profit. Let's say just
- 27:20say break even. And I move my stop loss,
- 27:24my hedge, sorry, down to here. Okay,
- 27:28this is still a sell one,
- 27:30right? Um, and I'm in this trade, right?
- 27:33I've still protected myself. So this was
- 27:361% from here to here and this has become
- 27:40roughly another 1%. So if price had come
- 27:44down and taken out of this this sell
- 27:46order I would be at minus 2%. Again
- 27:51within my risk parameters when it comes
- 27:54to hedging no problem. Yeah 3% is my
- 27:58let's get out of here numbers. All right
- 28:01but now now price action has developed.
- 28:04Okay, price action has moved up, right?
- 28:06I've also seen a H1 structure break. So,
- 28:10we're breaking these highs in here. We
- 28:12even just about broke this high with
- 28:15this candle, right? Then price retraced
- 28:19a little. Let's get rid Let me get rid
- 28:21of all of this now.
- 28:23Right. Okay. So, we've got a sell. This
- 28:28is closed. Yeah. this this hasn't this
- 28:31sell order here hasn't been triggered
- 28:33right now we're in this H1 uptrend it's
- 28:36broken these highs this high and even
- 28:39this high just so when I see this candle
- 28:43you know I'm I like the entry yeah my
- 28:47Euro pound idea is still to buy because
- 28:49of the day chart I still like the entry
- 28:52and there's a bit of a level through
- 28:54here I haven't actually drawn it in but
- 28:56there's a bit of a level through here
- 28:58okay so when price retraced to this
- 29:01level. I did another buy. Right? So now
- 29:05I'm in buy one and buy
- 29:10two. So therefore I need to adjust my
- 29:14sell hedge down here. Now my cell hedge
- 29:17I have moved up from here to here. Why
- 29:20did I do that and move it to there?
- 29:23Well, this for me
- 29:26here is the last swing lows in here,
- 29:30right? This could potentially become the
- 29:32new swing low and I'll move my stop up
- 29:34again. We shall see, right? But this was
- 29:37the this was the last swing low on the
- 29:39H1. Therefore, I have put a new sell
- 29:42stop sell hedge here. But this time, it
- 29:45has to equal buy one and buy two. So,
- 29:50this is what this means.
- 29:52Okay, it has to equal the same as the
- 29:55buy. Whatever you whatever lot amount
- 29:58you have as a buy, the sell stop should
- 30:01be the
- 30:02same. And this is where we're at, guys.
- 30:05Right? So, you know, if this carries on
- 30:08up and hits target, yeah, we'll see,
- 30:12right? The targets up here. I will then
- 30:14make, you know, a little bit over 1% on
- 30:18this buy and a little bit over 1% on
- 30:23this buy. All right. So, you know,
- 30:26potentially, you know, two 2 and 12%
- 30:30profit up here if it hits target. Okay.
- 30:33And, you know, and it's an if. Yeah.
- 30:34It's this trade hasn't finished. If it
- 30:37comes back down
- 30:38here, right, you then need to understand
- 30:41the risk. Okay.
- 30:44So remember this plus this. Now we have
- 30:49to add this. So this is a little bit
- 30:52under two 2% with this trade. So let's
- 30:57say this is roughly
- 31:001.8%. But now we've got buy two and this
- 31:05is 1%.
- 31:07So if this trade came crashing down and
- 31:10went against me, this entire trade would
- 31:12be
- 31:17minus2.8%. All right? So you really need
- 31:19to understand that you need to keep
- 31:21tight control of that money management
- 31:23and risk. And I'm fully aware of that
- 31:27risk if price goes against me. I'm not
- 31:29just adding to a trade willy-nilly,
- 31:31right? I I have to have tight control of
- 31:34that money management. All right? and we
- 31:36and we'll see what happens to this Euro
- 31:38pound trade. All right, so guys, yeah, I
