Over the last few months, I have come up with a mathematical system to maintain control of the points that matter with different hedge techniques. Little Late getting the chart made and posted, and been away for a while deep in R&D. Now I trade from the end to the start with reverse engineering, and mathematical balance.... I'll demonstrate
Current set up was structured to go short, and just continue the range but the end of the week had a clean break from the range. Additional positions have been put on at the top for price to come back to break even on position spread, just at the retest area for the range that we've been working in for the last month.
Overall, looking at a long bias, very strong break out Friday clearing the old highs that breached the range before, and looking at the bottoms, there is a gradual build of Long side Pressure. The range is about 90 pips wide, so should the price work back into the area, I will have to monitor the E 1 point to see if it looks to hold, otherwise I'll wait for E2 to cut the sell hedge I'll have below the target for the shorts at S1.
An equal Buy Stop order is in place, and it has 2 use cases, one now, one later.
Should it get hit as is, no problem, still closing the sells around the key area around the breakout support and resistance, and will add in 0.04 lots at that level. Then Hold and trail with sell stop up past breakeven for an upwards push to the next level at the top of the path arrow.
Should it not be hit, the sell hedge will continue down until it does get hit, sell targets still will not change, and the position will be holding a surplus, I'll make a decision thne to cut or hold.
Should the target get reached, sells will all close, hedge will be removed, and 0.04 will be entered for long at the major level...
Either way it wants to go, looking for a target/Long Side entry at around 1.062-1.063 on a basic retest entry and then look for the next level pat the high of the breakout for the target on this one, with additional add in on the way to compound in to a max size gradually. A sell hedge will be placed around 1.059, and wait for E 1 or 2 if things don't leave upwards on the demand zone created by the breakout level and just above in the small consolidation just before the big push. Experience tells me 1.062 will happen though, and E 1 could end up being a spring type move to fake short then turn, because the pattern shows a lot of upside strength over the month of October being built in all month.
Currently holding .1 in total short, and only -$19 off the starting balance, with the hedge buy stop making the lockout around -$29 (First attempt being open ended to try and gain back some of the positional spreads).
I almost want the hedge hit (and I would say 90% sure it will be in a liquidity run here soon) so I get my margin back to place at 1.062, but very minimal risk at the current time if I am not able to trail it down any still.
Most Likely outcome is a bounce to return long from the lower 1.06 range, and the trade management will work towards that Idea, as this long term action typically does result in some sort of retest, let's see how much it comes back, but I do believe it will be doing that from the current level of 1.073, or close by as price does seem a little exhausted from the end of the week momentum.
The main reason is just a simple market commonality of "Quick gains given are quickly taken back", then it goes where it was going again usually....
