Hi Mary,

In hedging, traders and investors open new market positions as a protective measure of the current market positions from the uncertain market movements.

 You can hold more than two positions that will help you gain you are making a loss from your first position.

Although hedging will not prevent a loss, it will protect you from making significant losses.

CFDs act as a hedging tool to help investors make gains when the market prices are falling.

Hedging using short CFDs will safeguard your portfolio since the prices are unstable; hence they change regularly depending on the prevailing market conditions.

Long-term investors may use CFDs for short-selling for a short period. They do this when the price is being corrected in the portfolio.

You can make use of CFD hedges when the prices of the asset you have invested are not favoring you. Also, it is vital to use it when the market you are trading in is weak, not reacting to good or bad news released. You can also use it when the market favors you, and the extra profit you get is small.

It would be best if you noted when you should not use hedging in CFDs. When the market has moved against you and for some reason, it may reverse. It would help if you also avoided hedging when everything in the market seems to be increasing.
