Post From: HEDGING AGAINST LOSING TRADES

Am I right in saying that Sierra Charts does not support ‘Hedging’?
For example:
1. I place a Long trade (preferably with No Stop and No Target*) at Price Point 100.
2. Price goes Short by 10 Ticks, at which point I place another Long trade at Price Point 90.
3. I now have 2 Long trades, one at PP90, the other at PP100.
4. Price moves back up 10 Ticks to PP100 to break even with trade 1, and trade 2 gives 10 Ticks profit.

If Sierra Charts does support this Hedging strategy, I haven't been able to work it out and I'd be grateful if you could kindly provide instructions how to set this up.

Thanks

*Preferably No Stop & No Target:
No Stop: I follow the price going against me until it reaches a point it begins to bounce back, at which point I add another Buy or Sell according to my initial trade direction.
No Target: I follow both trade positions until the 2nd returns to make the 1st losing trade Break Even and makes a 10 Tick profit at that Break Even Price Point. So the Target is the Break Even Price Point of the 1st Buy/Sell order.

Please view the Nick Shaw video link which shows how this hedging strategy works.
