If your broker allows it, an easy way to hedge is just to initiate a long and a short position on the same pair. Advanced traders sometimes use two different pairs to make one hedge, but that can get very complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-13\">For example, say you decide that you want to go short on the U.S. dollar and the Swiss franc (USD\/CHF) because you see it sitting at the top of a recent price range. You decide to initiate your short. After setting up your short, you start thinking that the USD\/CHF is looking a little strong, and you think that it might break upward and make your short an expensive one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-16\">To do an advanced balancing act, you start looking at other USD pairs. You find that the euro to dollar pair (EUR\/USD) tends to move inversely\u2014opposite\u2014to the USD\/CHF. To complete your\u00a0forex hedge, you go short on EUR\/USD. The USD ends up breaking resistance and moves strongly against the CHF. Your short EUR trade becomes a winner, and your USD\/CHF trade is a loser, but your risk is limited because they almost even out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hedging\u00a0is a way to reduce risk by taking both sides of a trade at once.
