Automatic One-Time Hedging of Losing Positions

Summary

This expert-advisor concept monitors every open position, regardless of symbol or magic number, including positions opened manually or by another advisor. When a position’s loss reaches a configured threshold, the system opens an opposite position. The hedge volume is adjusted using a lot coefficient, and each original position receives only one hedge.

The described tool is limited to hedge-mode accounts. It does not attach a stop loss or take profit to the new opposite position, so it creates an offsetting exposure without specifying how that hedge will later be managed or closed. The document gives no performance evidence, threshold values, coefficient settings, or rules for handling partial closes and repeated position changes. It describes an automation behavior, not a complete risk-management plan or a guarantee that losses will be contained.

Key ideas

• The advisor monitors positions across symbols and magic numbers.
• It opens an opposite position when an existing position reaches a configured loss threshold.
• The hedge volume is calculated using a lot coefficient.
• Each original position triggers at most one hedge.
• The tool requires a hedge-mode account and sets no stop loss or take profit on the hedge.
