The closing of those two processes in order to release hedge, must be through one of the following ways:
First: waiting strong news of the pair processes, to move a large number of points in one of the two trends, so it gets out from analysis range. The process moves to price motion, the other contradictory process should wait till price returns.
Second: pair reaches the purchase and selling limit. The percentage of raising and declining is high that is allow for a trader to make a risk.
Professional trader may use a third way, which he doesn’t need to gain in the two trends, especially if the second process moves with trend. The third way is to open the second process with a higher value than the first process. When profits become more than loss in the first process, he should close both processes at the same time, but he should have experience and large practice of hedge.
