During one major move, the stock gained 118%, or roughly $31,600 on 100 shares. But continuously buying puts to protect those gains could have cost around $5,000, reducing the overall gain by roughly 16%. The problem with hedging is that you're paying for insurance while waiting for something to happen that may never happen.So how do you protect yourself from a stock market crash without constantly paying for insurance?Use the market's own signals.The 10/20/50 EMA strategy provides a simple way to identify trend direction. When the 10 EMA is above the 20 EMA and price is above the 50 EMA, the direction is bullish. When those relationships reverse, the direction is bearish. This doesn't predict the magnitude or duration of a move, but it gives you an objective way to recognize when the trend is changing.The important part is that you don't have to predict the top. You can let the stock continue higher while the trend remains bullish, then get out when the evidence shows that the trend is turning. AMD provides a real example of how this approach can avoid giving away gains through unnecessary hedging.The final piece is trading psychology.You have to stop trying to tell the market what you want it to do and start listening to what the market is actually telling you. SOFI shows what can happen when traders let their conviction and ego override deteriorating price action and moving average signals.The goal isn't to eliminate risk. You can't. The goal is to manage risk so you can stay in the market when trends are working and get out of the way when they aren't.✅ Why continuously hedging trades can reduce your gains✅ 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA trend strategy✅ How to protect your portfolio from a stock market crash✅ AMD and SOFI trading examples✅ Trading psychology, ego, and knowing when to exitI'm currently long the market, but I'm not hedging the position.
