yes personally i think hedging can be used to be able to protect us from bigger losses being resolved from almost any position. It is not advisable for beginners to hedge because it is usually very dangerous also requires skills not to mention the business that will close the career with the help of benefits. and Hedging is a very useful trading technique. It prevents us from huge losses and also locks in our little profit. Often I want to do hedging but fail. Hedging is not easy and simple. I feel this shows that we are not sure about the market and movement and we guess the direction and this can be dangerous.
