I keep trying to explain my hedge strategy and I have stumped some well-known system designers with it. It really isn't all that complicated but I guess people are in the pursuit of getting the highest gain. That makes sense, but I would rather have system that makes less but has no realized drawdown. Without going into all specifics, basically buy and short 2 correlated markets. Then find a high probability indicator and position size greater on each entry until a profit is reached and then exit all positions. This method reduces half of the whipsaws. Thus avoiding stop losses and maybe targets. Now if I can just get this up and running.
