Hedging is also a skill. You need more practice. You can also search for educational videos on hedging.

Hedging does work and specially when the market trend is not clear it is better to hedge and later on when one way trend is formed the trader can close one trade but hedging should not be used at all the times as it does not work every time and should only be used when trend is not clear .

Hedging is a popular style of trading. So it will work only if u know abt it and if u have knowledge and experience of using this technique.

Why not? Actually u need to see some tutorials in order to get a good idea of this technique. Youtube will be a good source.

I think hedging is quite a weak strategy - if you don't know where the market is going then don't trade.  There are valid set ups to use it - such as on NFP day,where the price always moves both ways, or if you are scalpi against a long term position, but otherwise its just feeding money to your broker.

Hedging really works but for seniors the reason is when a new trader use hedging to save is negative position at that time after getting this initiative he need to handle more trades that's not a good idea for new trader becasue trade management is s skill that a trader learn with the passage of time. While hendling mroe trade his expericance become more comples and many new traders close all haphazerdly.

You got it - the more trades, the more risk, more margin for error.  Thats why hedging to save positions is bad.

I think now we must stay away from hedging because NFA prinhabit that and in near future other regulators will do the same. 

 

For a new trader hedging is the difficult one because when he involved or manged his positions with hedging at that time he need to manage more positions that involve more trade management skills and he may fail to manage if he did not have good hands on money management skills.

Yes, eventually hedging positions will be abolished - its bad practice anyway, and its double the trouble.
