Hedge
Risk Management
O que significa
A position opened to offset the risk of another position. If your main trade loses, the hedge should gain, reducing the total damage.
Exemplo
You hold $50,000 of long SPY and buy a $500 put option that pays off if SPY crashes. If the market drops 10%, your long loses $5,000 but the put gains about $4,000, softening the blow.
Erro comum de iniciantes
Beginners hedge every trade and watch their gains evaporate into hedge costs. A hedge is insurance -- it has a price; over-hedging guarantees you cannot make money.
