Disliked{quote} {quote} This is not hedging. As I have already pointed out. this will leave you with a net position being long on EURCHF (as long as position sizes are balanced) The only way that you can possibly make money is if EURCHF rises. So there is absolutely no point in opening 2 positions when you will achieve exactly the same by opening 1 position on EURCHF. If 2 positions you will also pay extra spread, so you actually lose out.Ignored

Disliked{quote} So what are you saying? Open 2 positions in opposite directions when you have no idea where the market is going? When you see a trend forming, you close the losing trade? Why not just wait until you see a trend forming and open a trade in that direction? That way you don't lose the spread on the losing trade.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Totally wrong. Mr Kho understands more about hedging than you do. Hedging multi pairs in the same market is either unbalanced and so will always break down to a net position either long or short on one or maybe more pairs. balanced and so it is impossible to make a profit Suppose someone was flipping a coin.
