InTheBlackHedging
is dedicated to providing assistance in the area of risk management utilizing Technical Analysis. Our philosophy is that hedging strategies are not inherently designed to create profit, but to reduce risk. They should however, be anchored in sound market views.
Our Market view is from the perspective of Technical Analysis honed over nearly thirty years of experience. Mr. Charles Johnson was the Senior Technical Analyst in Derivatives for Merrill Lynch as well as Bache & Co. (Prudential Securities) before moving into the realm of more specialized endeavors. Mr. Johnson has been involved with the evolution of technical analysis since the late 1970’s with the introduction of Wells Wilder’s work, up through the current day. Our view is that the basis of Technical Analysis is derived from the seminal work of Edwards and McGee and is augmented by the later advent of computer generated indicators which can be folded into the analysis.
Risk management, or hedging, strategies should first offer maximized protection from market exposure and second allow the hedger to be flexible in the implementation as well as the elimination of the strategy. The degree of this protection and flexibility is something that can only be determined by each individual situation.
