Beginner Questions
1

Hi

I make my money in USD but spend all my money Euro. Are there strategies that would allow me to hedge for a declining USD, or will this be too expensive and complicated as I at first only will be willling to risk 3000 USD. Is position trading the way to go? I’m completely new to forex, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

John

Proper hedging would mean trying to match up your cashflows. It’s not a question making or losing (risking) any amount, but of trying to lock in a specific exchange rate. Whether this makes much sense depends on how much money you’re talking about, the frequency of cashflows, and over what timeframe.
