This portfolio combines my popular GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-Following robot with a Hedging robot that usually trades in the opposite direction to create a hedge and reduce risk. It is called the GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-HEDGE robot.
The term "Hedge" or "Hedging" in forex trading is when you open trades both long and short at the same time on the same currency pair. When your stop-losses are larger than your profit target, it's possible to take profit on both trades despite having the same (or similar) entry points, which happens very frequently with this combination of robots. Below you can see each robot's individual equity curves that make up this portfolio when combined...

15-Min Trend-HEDGE Robot
Don't let the negative equity curve of the Trend-HEDGE robot fool you! On average, the Trend-HEDGE robot only loses 66 pips per month but it's the necessary evil that gives this portfolio it's small draw-downs by coming to the rescue when the Trend-Following robot is most likely to take losses (one does well when the other loses).
Factor in the Roulette Trader Money Management system on the Trend-Following robot where winning streaks are common and you have a very stable and profitable combination! Prior to compounding profits, the 4.5 year profit is 25.6 times the maximum draw-down ($2764 profit vs -$108 max draw-down).

How To Set Up Portfolio-2 at Brokers Who Allow Hedging...
Most Forex Brokers who are NOT regulated in the USA allow hedging in the same MT4 account and are not bound by FIFO restrictions (First In, First Out). If your broker allows hedging, then you may run both EAs in the same MT4 account, as follows...
1). Attach the normal GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-Following 4-Unit EA to a GBPJPY 15-Min chart, as usual. Refer to the EA Setup Tutorial if you need help.
2). Open a 2nd GBPJPY 15-Min chart in the same MT4 account and attach the GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-Following HEDGE EA to that chart.
3a). At brokers who allow hedging with at least 1:100+ max leverage, use the following settings for EACH $350+ balance for a 12.56% average monthly return and a 30.8% max month-end draw-down...
3b). At brokers who allow hedging with at least 1:30+ max leverage (UK Brokers), use the following settings for EACH $400+ balance for an 10.99% average monthly return and a 27% max month-end draw-down...
Follow the Money Management settings in the yellow boxes below and keep their lot sizes relevant to each other. For example, if you increase the lot sizes on one EA, you should increase the lot sizes on all 3 EAs accordingly to keep them balanced...

4). When opening hedged positions on the same account, your used margin will be based on a sum of the 2 hedged positions (ie. 0.03 lots long -0.02 lots short = 0.01 lot long). However, it's possible for both EAs to trade in the same direction for a short period of time due to the profit targets being much smaller than the stop-losses. Therefore, you must still have enough margin to open up to 0.06 lots of GBP/JPY between the two EAs combined. If you ever find that you could exceed your minimum margin requirement at any time, either decrease your lot sizes or deposit more funds so you do not miss any trades.
6). How to Scale Up: If your broker falls under #3a above (1:100 max leverage), divide your portfolio balance by $350 or more and multiply the lot sizes above by that number. For example, if your portfolio balance is $3000, divide by $350 and you get 8.5. Round down to 8 so you are not over leveraged and multiply all lot sizes shown above by 8 to keep their lot ratios relative to each other. To trade less aggressively, divide your balance by more than $350.
If your broker falls under #3b above (1:20 to 1:50 max leverage with hedging allowed), then divide your total portfolio balance by $550 and multiply all the lot sizes shown above by that number. For example, if your balance is $3000, divide by $550 and you get 5.45. Round down to 5 so you are not over-leveraged and multiply all the lot sizes for each EA above by 5 to keep their lot ratios relative to each other. To trade less aggressively and to better stay above your margin requirements, divide your balance by more than $550.
How To Set Up Portfolio-2 at Brokers Who DON'T Allow Hedging...
(US-Regulated Brokers)
Due to CFTC Regulations in the USA, all US Regulated forex brokers cannot allow hedging in the same MT4 account and they must also enforce FIFO restrictions (First In, First Out). So, if your account is at a US regulated forex broker, or any other broker that does not allow hedging, then you must run each GBPJPY EA in a separate MT4 account. Luckily, all brokers allow you to open multiple MT4 accounts under your primary account so it is still possible to use this hedging strategy. However, it will require more total funds to implement due to the broker's restrictions. To implement, simply run each EA in a separate MT4 account, as follows...
1). In one MT4 account, attach the GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-Following 4-Unit EA to a GBPJPY 15-Min chart. (Refer to the EA Setup Tutorial if you need help). This account should have at least $350 per 0.01 unit size (0.04 Max Lot/Cycle Target).
2). In a 2nd MT4 account, open another GBPJPY 15-Min chart and attach the GBPJPY 15-Min Trend-HEDGE EA to that chart. This account should have at least $300 per 0.02 Fixed Lot. Despite the name, this EA does NOT hedge against it's own trades.
NOTE: Many brokers require extra margin to trade GBP/JPY so check the max leverage for GBP/JPY at your broker and always make sure you are trading well within your required margin to allow sufficient cushion for losses. For example, the max leverage for GBP/JPY at the US division of Oanda is 20:1. So if you are trading aggressively at a US broker, the more you deposit, the better. At 20:1 Max Leverage, you need at least US$125 to open 0.02 Lots GBP/JPY so you may need to transfer money between the two accounts when necessary.
Follow the Money Management settings in the yellow boxes below and keep their lot sizes relevant to each other. For example, if you increase the lot sizes on one EA, you should increase the lot sizes on all 3 EAs accordingly to keep them balanced...

4). With a combined minimum of $650 between the 2 accounts and a combined monthly average of $45.15 profit, your average monthly return is about 6.76% with a 16.6% max month-end draw-down. Scale this model up according to your account size (see #5 below). You may compound profits each time your combined accounts grow by at least $650 and you may increase your return by allocating less funds and staying diligent to transfer money between accounts when necessary so that your minimum margin requirements are always met in each account.
5). How to Scale Up: If your broker does not allow hedging and offers max leverage of 1:50 or less, divide your portfolio balance by $650 or more and multiply the lot sizes above by that number. For example, if your portfolio balance is $3000, divide by $650 and you get 4.61. Round down to 4 so you are not over leveraged and multiply all lot sizes shown above by 4 to keep their lot ratios relative to each other. To trade less aggressively and better stay above your margin requirements, divide your balance by more than $650.
When To Compound Profits...
The 15-Min Trend-Following robot is using the automated Roulette Trader Money Management system with a 4-unit cycle target, while the Trend-HEDGE robot is using Fixed Lots. Since you do not want to interfere with the money management cycle of the Trend-Following robot, simply compound profits (increase lot sizes) on both robots each time the Trend-Following robot completes a 4-unit cycle (4 consecutive wins) instead of at the end of each month. On average, a 4-unit cycle completes once every 26 days so you will sometimes have more than one compounding opportunity per month but there will also be some cycles that last much longer than a month.
When the Trend-Following robot wins it's 4th consecutive trade (completing a 4 unit cycle), your account will usually be at a new profit high point, which is a great time to compound your profits. So let your results determine when to compound profits rather than the end of each month. I will send out a newsletter each time the trend-following robot hits a 4 unit cycle target so you don't need to watch your charts so closely but be sure to open all your emails from me so you don't miss a compounding opportunity.
