#HedgingStrategi Opening a corresponding order (hedging) in Futures trading is an important technique for effective risk management. This is a method of using a position opposite to the current position (for example: opening a Short while holding a Long) to protect the account from adverse fluctuations, rather than simply profiting from the new order.
Advantages of corresponding orders in Futures:
One of the most notable benefits of hedging is the ability to protect profits. When you are holding a profitable Long position, opening a Short can help you maintain that profit if the market unexpectedly turns down. In addition, hedging also limits the level of loss if the market goes against the initial order, allowing you to minimize losses without having to close the main position. Another strong point is that you do not need to close the main order to protect the account — this is especially useful if you still believe in the long-term trend. Additionally, it provides flexibility in exiting the order: you can close the corresponding order when the market shows a clear trend again without needing to act hastily.
