Basics of Hedging | How to do Hedging?

Image
Hedging is a sophisticated risk management tactic that entails purchasing or disposing of a security to potentially help lower the risk of a position's potential loss.   Image source: Trade Brains Individual investors do not frequently utilise hedging as a trading strategy, and when they do, it is typically done after the initial investment has been made. In other words, you wouldn't hedge a position before you buy or sell a stock short. To minimise potential losses for an existing deal if it moves against your expectations and in the opposite direction, that is the main reason to hedge. Supposing you believe your trade will eventually move in the opposite way from where you want.
