Hallo Chameleon
I use a hedging strategy to limit my losses without stopping out a negative position. The positions that I do this with is generally my carrytrade. This trade I manage for longer terms earn interest on them. I will use the volatility to trade another currencyp against my carrytrade positions. This serves to limit the loss on the carrytrade do a risk free trade on the hedge trade. I pay interest normal pip spread on my hedge trade because I enter a new trade I pay rollover commission as well.
I have posted a journal under my name in the journal section of this forum where I called all my trades for the past six months. This will show the hedging trade management strategies I use.
It works well for me.
