Big players most certainly go on vacations. They are very much creatures of habit, you can even tell when they have their morning coffee and their lunch break in some markets, but who knows what auto algo systems they leave to hold the fort.

hedging is a method to minimze losses and hence to increase performance.

Catnip, your very confusing trading methodology does not allow for the unforeseen. Arrogance will always be corrected by the markets imho. And "hedging" is a wonderful way to disguise your true positions and your true performance.

It is the timeframe that matters. I think it makes sense to do position trades which are hedged.
I say wait a month and aususd will be way below parity and I'll take profit around 98 and the next 95.

Chloe..risk management by set VALID rules eliminates pain,
if your 8.5 blocks are 100 k lots, then you are WAY too large in your positions
as surmised by your rhetoric, which is classic newbie..hopefully, you are talking mini lots
or demo..a large account doesn't give one reason to go big 'out of the money'
..must be managed...

Yes you are right every trader should have his own risk management
Every trader should keep control his emotion
Every trade should have his own trading strategy

@catnip It is really sad when you make mastic and you dont have the guts to admit. You and others in this forum (chlo, Asad, gunjack. ect the risk averse group) should hold their hand high and admit your error and apologies for all the mature traders out there who where following your comments.
