The Forex Market, Trade Tactics.

The simplest and the most widespread trade tactics is Stop Loss and Take Profit Position.

The essence of this tactics is in the following. A trader makes a plan, where the trader marks the open price, levels Stop Loss and Take profit, opens a position to the chosen side; according to th plan either places orders or tracking quotations closes the position. Here it should be noted, that Stop Loss has to be made only according to the plan, the planned loss has to be taken clear and resolutely. But if you have serious reasons to suppose that the price will be moving, then you shouldn’t hurry up to take the planned profit. You need to remember that a person doesn’t run risks if the person has profit; but in an unprofitable position a person will run risks. It is very important to overcome your nature. Do not run risks if the loss is growing. If a price is moving against you, it will be keeping the same direction till your deposit will be destroyed. And as soon as you close with a small profit, the price will be moving to the same direction for several pips and this will be very offensive. These facts are checked by life situations, so do not make mistakes of other people.

There is one more note. Do not trade on extreme values ever, although this is very attractive. Make sure that the price has turned and is moving, then you can open a position and wait for reliable signals of turn. You will take only 1/3 of all movement, but you will save yourself from large losses.

Another trade tactics is hedging of a position.

This tactics has a lot of supporters but at the same time a lot of opponents too. Let’s try to examine this tactics.

Hedging means protection of a positions and is often used when a price is moving against your position. You can take the position and incur losses of course. But you also can open as many position as you have already opened, but to open them to the opposite side. Using this method you make the loss stop, as profit compensates all the losses of the price change. You only have to wait for turn, to close profitable positions and to wait for profit from the opposite positions.

Opponents of hedging reason their point of view with the following. You have to keep twice more positions and a large payment for transfer decreases a deposit. You have to remember that opening a hedging position, you lessen the risk as you stop the growth of the loss; but closing the position you leave the “opposite half” defenseless. so, you can hedge at any moment, but you have to be very careful when you close a hedging position; you should close the position only when you get clear signals of movement.

Working in the “hedge” it is not important what position was opened earlier. One of the most acceptable tactics can be the following:

* you wait for a good movement, close a position against this movement, and it is not important at what price you have opened this position. Traders often make a mistake, because it is difficult to overcome yourself and to close the position that is far from the current price. But losses have already been compensated by the opposite positions, so do not hesitate.
* hedge again, when this movement is over.

Doing this operation, you can decrease the distance between the hedging positions and even to make the distance positive, i.e. when the positions “buy” are higher than the positions “sell”, moreover simultaneous closing of all the positions brings clear profit.
