Morning Marmoset, short at 50 T 15

 

[marmoset]

hedged short with a long at 44 (40+4)

 

[marmoset]

out of hedge long at b/e, want to re-enter it further down (EUR is going to re-test pivot at 2591 and 2600 big fig), want to take max advantage of that.

Hi, I am a newbie too and don't understand, why you close the long hedge, when you expect 2591 and 2600 at Euro?!

Basically because I had only one pip between the short at 45 and the long hedge at 44 and I wanted something like 5 pips in between.

One way of securing a pip profit is putting a hedge long UNDER your short, the further the distance between them, the bigger the secured profit. Secured meaning: no matter where it goes, I've got those pips locked in.

Unfortunately cable isn't going down for this plan to be executed, so I'm chewing my fingernails for a bit here. If I'd left it in I might have scalped a few pips here and there already.
