Hedging: Act Decisively

Avoid: Prices at the top or a confirmed downtrend means hedging is not recommended
Plan: Anticipated uptrend. Need to plan for a future recommendation to hedge
Partial: Recommendation to hedge only part of the total volume due to possible “fake signals”
Full: A confirmed buy signal validating an uptrend suggests the need to hedge
