Hedging (from English hedge - insurance, guarantee) - establishing a position on futures in one market to compensate for the impact of price risks on an equal but opposite futures position (position on futures) in another market.
The purpose of hedging is to protect against adverse changes in prices on the stock market, commodity assets, currencies, interest rates, and so on.
We are interested in trading currency pairs based on hedging. What is required for this?
1) identify tools that can compensate each other. It is not difficult at all, for example "gold" and "silver".
If you trade in currencies, then the pair is better to choose with high correlation.
You can see the possible options in the table:
2) to determine which of the tools at the moment you need to sell and which one to buy. There are many options for this, one of them is to place the quotes of both instruments in one window and, by the nature of their movement, determine the instrument for buying and selling. The MultiInstrument indicator will help you. You can open orders yourself using the cm_script_Hedge script (in the appendix)
extern string SYMBOL1 = "GBPUSD"; // first character
extern string SYMBOL2 = "EURUSD"; // second character
extern double LOT1 = 0.1; // lot of the first instrument
extern double LOT2 = 0.1; // lot of the second instrument
extern int TYPE1 = OP_BUY; // order type of the first instrument
extern int TYPE2 = OP_SELL; // order type of the second instrument
extern int stoploss = 10, // SL exposure level, if 0, then SL is not set
takeprofit = 10; // TP exposure level, if 0, then TP is not exposed
extern int Slippage = 3; // slippage
extern int Magic = 777888;
Further action - we wait when both instruments together give us the profit we need and close both orders. You can also use the CloseProfit Expert Advisor for this purpose.
The Expert Advisor closes all orders upon reaching a specified amount of profit or loss in the deposit currency.
Advisor can work only for the pair that is thrown or for all the tools of the account.
ProfitClose = 10; // close all orders when receiving profit
LossClose = 1000; // close all orders when
losing money AllSymbol = false; // consider all the tools or only the one on which the adviser is standing
Naturally for this strategy, AllSymbol = true
Example of work: Successful trading! Added advisor CloseProfit 2 symbol. It closes all positions on the specified pairs when they achieve a profit or loss specified in the parameters.
Could you make a specific example on the screen?
Above, you made the skins, where the graphics diverged and where they are together. Obviously, you need to enter when the graphics diverge. I wrote about this in the first post!
I showed an example of trading on your screen. Blue arrows - purchases, red - sales.
