===Hedging Type===

{{ :hedging_settings_1.png?nolink&600 |}}

In "Hedging Type" the user can choose the hedging typology: Continuos or Threshold. \\

  * Continuos: This type of hedging starts neutralizing Delta immediately and it buy/sell the instrument to mantain delta-zero for every price fluctuation. The advantage is that delta will be always next to zero. The disadvantage is that a huge amount of operations will be needed to mantain delta next to zero so we will have high costs of transactions and spreads. Continuos Hedging is usually used when the profit target is the free risk rate.\\
  * Threshold: This type of hedging starts neutralizing Delta when underlying price reach to a threshold which is a price established by the user.\\

----

===Legs to Hedge===

{{ :hedging_settings_3.png?nolink&600 |}}

===Assets to Use===

{{ :hedging_settings_4.png?nolink&600 |}}

In this section you can add the instrument (stocks, futures, options, ETF, etc.) to be used to neutralize delta.

|**Nota: If you use an ETF as an hedging instrument you need to set the "ETF ratio" of that ETF. You set this parameter in [[http://manuals.playoptions.it/beeTrader/doku.php?id=symbol_manager|Symbol Manager]]. It denote the ratio between the underlying and the ETF. Take an example: The underlying is the dj Euro Stoxx 50 and it quote 2800 points, the ETF quote 28, the ETF ratio that you have to set is 100. This rule is valid for long ETF, whether the ETF is short you have to set a negative value.**|
