Janus Trend Hedge version
Janus Trader update 2025
The Janus Trend Hedge Version is a trend momentum strategy based on the Janus Trend indicator, further filtered by the DDFX indicator.
This trading system is suitable for speculative hedging but without a martingale approach.
Since this strategy is designed for speculative trading, a gambling-style Money Management technique must be applied.
Instead of using the entire capital at once, it should be divided into separate bankrolls.
For example, if the total capital available is €5000, it should be divided into five bankrolls of €1000 each.
A trading account is opened with €1000.
If the account loses its balance, another bankroll is used.
If the account doubles, €1000 is withdrawn, and trading restarts with a new €1000 balance.
After achieving five consecutive double-ups, the bankroll grows to €2000 per unit, and trading continues using the new €2000 base account.
This method ensures risk diversification and provides a structured approach to managing losses and gains.

Hedging Using D'Alembert System
The D'Alembert hedging method is a risk management strategy based on increasing position sizes following a loss and decreasing them after a win. This technique helps maintain control over capital while adjusting position sizing.
How to Apply D'Alembert Hedging to This Strategy
Initial Position Sizing
Start with one unit of risk (e.g., 1% of account balance).
After a Loss
Increase the position size by one additional unit (e.g., 2% after the first loss, 3% after the second, and so on).
This step mitigates the effect of consecutive losses while preventing the aggressive doubling seen in Martingale strategies.
After a Win
Decrease the position size by one unit (returning to 1% after recovering from previous losses).
Hedging Execution
If a position moves against the trade, a hedging trade should be placed in the opposite direction with a larger size to offset potential losses effectively.
The size of the hedge should follow the D'Alembert progression, meaning it increases with each loss to cover previous losses while keeping risk under control.This counter-position can be closed upon reaching a predefined stop-loss level or upon confirmation of trend reversal.
Practical Example on Gold with Two Hedges Before Closing in Profit
Initial Trade:
Buy Gold at $2000 per ounce with 1 lot.
Stop-loss set at $1995, take-profit at $2005.
First Hedge:
Price drops to $1995, triggering stop-loss.
Open a sell hedge with 2 lots at $1995 (increased by 1 unit following D'Alembert).
Stop-loss at $2000, take-profit at $1990.
Second Hedge:
Price rebounds to $2000, triggering stop-loss on the sell trade.
Open a buy hedge with 3 lots at $2000.
Stop-loss at $1995, take-profit at $2005.
Final Outcome:
Price reaches $2005, closing the buy hedge in profit.
Overall profit despite initial stop-losses, following structured D'Alembert risk management.
By integrating the D'Alembert system, the Janus Trend Hedge Version can improve risk efficiency, maintain capital longevity, and reduce the impact of drawdowns without the extreme risks associated with standard Martingale approaches.
Janus Trend New Black Dog Strategy
Janus Trend Day Trading and Swing Strategy
Submit By Janus Trader
Janus Trend strategy is an pure trend following strategy based on two indicators Janus trend and super reversal signal. The idea of this strategy was inspired by a classic Black Dog trading system in which we have a first big arrow that defines the direction of the market and arrow secondary as input timing filtered by a slow MACD in this case we have the, first arrow large defining the direction (Janus trend indicator) and a second type of arrow (super reversal signal) already filtered enough for the input timing.
This strategy is suitable for both day and swing trading.
I note that this strategy is not for beginners, even if it is very clear because it involves multi-position entry.
