I think we could gap down another 50 handles tomorrow and then go down all day. Could be like a minus 80 handle day
It's a long term position that guards against short positions that I take that may be un-profitable. I'll typically trade my swing trades as 4 times leverage.
The explanation doesn't make sense because: 1. The leverages are different between the 2 positions. So not a complete hedge. 2. The time frames are different, thus one position isn't leveraged all the time, and that makes the whole exercise FUTILE. 3. Your hedge is losing money. Maybe you should stop hedging...
Probably didn't explain it correctly. It's about the same as someone holding a 401k and trading also.
