Hedging is not always useless because we feel the necessity for it when we fall in a dilemma. You can prefer hedging as a way to escape any hazardous situation like when a trade is stuck into loss and the market price is far from the opening position of the trade. To the scalpers, FXOpulence offers a smooth trading platform and updated trading technology.

Hedging is a popular strategy used in Forex trading to minimise risks and protect investments. But what exactly is it? Simply put, direct hedging involves opening two positions on the same currency pair simultaneously – one long position and one short position.
The idea behind this strategy is that if the market moves in either direction, you will be protected by your other position. For example, if you have a long position that's losing money due to market fluctuations, your short position will offset those losses by making gains. This helps keep your overall profit / loss balance neutral.
It's important to note that direct hedging isn't fool-proof – there are still risks involved with this strategy. It also requires careful planning and execution to ensure both positions work together effectively.
Direct hedging can be a useful tool for Forex traders looking to reduce their exposure to risk. With proper implementation, it can help safeguard against unexpected market movements and ultimately lead to more consistent profits over time.
See our comprehensive guide to forex hedging strategies for more detail on how to implement this strategy as a risk prevention method.

I think hedging can be a risk management strategy and depends on trading goals and market conditions.

of course it can be helpful and will rescue you in those times of fluctuations when you believe you have done it right and your trade was correct but paying 2 spreads and commissions can not be acceptable all the time
