FX + Metals Hedging Strategy
A lot of traders look at each trade separately. I prefer looking at the whole exposure.
Here’s how I think about hedging when markets get volatile:
1. What is hedging?
Simple: using another position to reduce part of the risk from your main trade. It’s not about avoiding losses
2. Look at total exposure
Long Gold + Long EURUSD can both leave you heavily exposed to USD weakness. Always look at the bigger picture
3. Correlations matter
Gold, FX and other markets can move together, but correlations change. Don’t assume they’ll always behave the same way
4. Know what you’re hedging
If USD suddenly strengthens against your Gold position, first understand your total USD exposure before adding another trade
5. Size matters
A hedge doesn’t have to be 1:1. Think about volatility, correlation, leverage, margin and how much drawdown youre comfortable with
6. Don’t hedge just because you’re losing
Every hedge should have a reason. If you can’t explain what risk you’re reducing don’t add the trade
7. Keep adjusting
Markets change. The hedge that made sense earlier might not make sense later
Reduce or remove it when the risk changes
8. Watch major news
NFP, CPI, FOMC and geopolitical events can completely change volatility and correlations. Exposure needs to be adjusted
9. Think portfolio, not one trade
The important numbers are your net exposure, leverage, margin and potential drawdown
10. The main idea
You don’t have to predict every move. Control what you can control and manage the risk when the market doesn’t go your way
