hedging
-
does anyone know how to set hedging orders ?
-
@rugbymad53 Some more info would be appreciated. What kind of hedging are you looking for?
-
loooking to open buy and sell limits 20 pips apart. no stoploss.
martingale first trade 0.01 ,0.02 ,0.04 and so on upto 9 sequences.
once sequence hits a total profit all trades will close. next sequence will start on the next candle close. -
@rugbymad53 Here you have something to begin with:
-
thanks i'andora
i am trying to get a zone of 20pips so it buys at the top of the range sells at the bottom until it breaks out.
would like all trades to close at a money amount profit rather than pips.so the sequence would go like
sell 0.01 price drops 20 pips buy 0.02 price goes back to initial entry sell 0.04 price goes back to intial buy entry buy 0.08
and so on until a maximum of 9 trades is reached or we get a breakout and profit target is hit. then sequence will start over again.
am very interested in learning to use the fx dreema platform properly.

@trader91 Can you please include any screenshot showing that visually?
-
-
@trader91 Ok. Now I see. That is not a trivial project to do, but certainly feasible with fxDreema. Do you have any initial project to begin with?
-
i have a full concept written down. am new to fxdreema noticed you offer teaching on your website this is something i am intrseted in. i have no idea where to start on my idea.
-
@trader91 Ok. How are those open prices calculated? Manuall or automatically?
-
this is also my project and i cant make it right.. the trail stop by group not working, the next trade is also non stop, multiplier is also an issue for me, i hope you can share your project and we can work together

@sandeep-pote Believe me, don't waste you time with such a project. The are not profitable on the long run.
-
@l-andorrà why do you say that? The logic of the project looks perfect.
-
@econsulttt buy high and sell low
yeah perfect -

lol once it is consistent and not blowing account no matter what it makes as pro?fit even if 2% a month is cool lol. So what do you mean by there are not profitable at the long run? Do they blow account

I remember when I first tried to use hedging in my trading strategy — I had no idea what I was doing at first. I thought it was just about opening buy and sell orders at the same time, but there’s more to it if you want to do it effectively.
I was using MetaTrader 4, which supports hedging by default. So what I did was open a buy position on EUR/USD, and when the market started moving against me, instead of closing the trade at a loss, I opened a sell order of the same lot size. This locked in the floating loss but gave me time to wait for the market to turn.
Over time, I learned a few important things:
Make sure both orders are opened on the same pair and under the same account type (some brokers use netting systems which don’t allow hedging).
Always have a clear exit plan — hedging can freeze your equity, and holding both trades too long can eat up margin.
Use it as a temporary risk control, not as a long-term solution.
Eventually, I started using partial hedging, like opening a smaller opposite trade when I wasn’t fully sure of the trend. It helped reduce drawdowns without completely locking my trades.
If you’re just starting with hedging, try it on a demo account first. It’s a great tool when used wisely, but it can also trap you in indecision if you don’t manage it properly.
