Different Forex Hedging Strategies

The constant price fluctuation in the forex market makes many investors balance their exposure using forex hedging. Forex hedging deals with opening additional positions strategically to limit potential losses on a trade. There are basically three types of forex hedging strategies investors employ. These are simple forex hedging strategy, multiple currencies hedging strategy, and forex options hedging strategy. Simple Forex Hedging Strategy - With this, you open the opposing position to an existing trader. So, if you have taken a long position on a currency pair, you will then take a small position on the same currency pair. This is a direct hedge whose goal is to limit your losses and not generate profits. Multiple Currencies Hedging Strategy - Here, you need to choose two currency pairs with a positive correlation with each other. So, if you have taken a short position on EUR/USD but opted to hedge your USD exposure by selecting a long position on GBP/USD. In case the EURO falls against the USD, a long GBP/USD position would mean a loss for you. However, the profit on EUR/USD will help limit the losses. Forex Options Hedging Strategy - With this strategy, traders get the right to exchange a currency pair at a given price prior to the expiry. Options help reduce your exposure. In case you take a long position of AUD/USD at $0.90. However, you decide to hedge your risk using a put option at $0.90 with a 1-month expiry after anticipating a sharp fall. So, if upon expiry, the price falls below $0.90, your long position would incur a loss. However, the option feature will help balance your exposure. In the case of AUD/USD rising, wait for the option to expire. You can thus only pay for the premium.

IndustryTypes of Forex Spreads Every Investor Should Know

Brokers charge both buyers and sellers of currency pairs in the form of a spread. However, the extent of spread can differ based on its type. Commonly speaking, forex brokers offer two types of spreads - Fixed Spread and Variable Spread. A spread, as a concept, is the difference between the selling and buying price of a currency pair. Fixed Spread - Here, the spread remains constant no matter the market conditions. Traders feel a great deal of predictability in their trading costs. The capital needs are lower here. It sort of calms you when a broader market becomes highly volatile. Variable Spread - This differs based on several factors, including liquidity, market volatility, supply-demand dynamics, and economic indicators. The spread increases or decreases based on the variation in bid and ask prices for currency pairs owing to different market conditions.
