DislikedYou can go long and go short at the same currency on a market maker (middlemen) brokers. These market makers make trading for you. 99% people lose the money here.
But you cannot "hedge" at the same currency on a ECN broker that give you real acces on a Interbank Market. Only great traders make money here.
Hedge is a very powerfull tool to trade Forex.
Make sure you know the difference between a market maker and an ECN before you decide to go learn hedge or not.Ignored
