What is Hedging?

               A Hedging is an effort to profit from the arbitrage of two or more associated currency pairs. Hedging has been speciously related to opening a buy and sell positions on the same currency pair, but this leads nowhere because it would end up as impartial or zero value position, and as well, you would lose the price of the respective spreads on top.

True Hedging:

                A true hedging is realized by using singular currency pairs, normally in the direction where the swap or overnight interest rate is helpful for all or almost all the currency pairs concerned. The entire amount earned on during the night also will depend on every broker’s exchange rates, but they are mostly in the same range for a huge major of firms.

                Even though negative correlation implies that once one pair is going up, the other one is going down, hence if you are long on both positions, one of them will finish up as a losing position. Typically there is an arbitrage and divergence in the number of points that the price has augmented in the gainful position in relation on the points vanished in the losing position.

Example:

EUR/USD, GBP/USD are same direction currency pairs.

EUR/USD, USD/CHF are opposite direction currency pairs.
