Foundations of Forex Trading Webinars

Hedge fund heavyweights aim to generate alpha on the long and short sides. And while betting on ominous outcomes requires unique skills, it’s a prudent way to manage risk within a primarily long portfolio. For example, adding shorts reduces your net exposure, which helps reduce risk when volatility strikes. In addition, offsetting long positions is helpful when you don’t want to sell one of your holdings.

In this webinar, we'll explain:

• How to calculate your net exposure and determine how much risk you incur on your long and short positions.

• How to use trendlines and moving averages to spot the best entry and exit points for a short sale.

• How to use indicators like the RSI and MACD to determine when assets are overbought.

• How to use stop-loss orders to minimize short-sale losses.

In this webinar, we'll explain:

• How to identify and interpret hammer and shooting star candles.

• How to backtest the results to ensure past patterns played out as expected.
