What Is Hedging in Forex?
Hedging in forex means holding a position that offsets the risk of another position. If one position loses when the market moves a certain way, the hedge may gain — reducing the account's net exposure.
Why hedge
- To protect a position while it is being resolved.
- To reduce the impact of unexpected moves.
- To keep an account balanced in uncertain conditions.

Quick answers
Does hedging guarantee profit?
No. Hedging reduces exposure; two hedged positions can still both lose value.
Who decides when to hedge?
The platform's trading team decides based on market conditions and the strategy.
