  1. You prob have to talk to your broker/banker for a professional suggestion. If you are an importer, you should keep an eyes on the denominated currency of your transaction. If you think the currency is going to raise, you prob have to get a forward contract to protect the forex rate so your company can eliminate accounting loss in forex. Another way is buying option, but option usually require certain premium. the benefit of option is you don’t have to buy the currency at the agreeable price if it cost more than future spot rate. Some foreign currency does not have forward contract, then you can do foreign money market.

  2. 1.For Hedging in Currencies through Currency futures First you need to open Fx trading account
    2.Depending on your import value we identify how many lots needs to be hedged by using optimal hedge
    3.An Importer always takes Buy position in futures since his underlying asset is on sell side
    4For example value of the contract entered is $100000
    and USDINR is at 46.0000 on the said date.
    If Rupee depreciates you will be exposed higher payables and this can be reduced by entering into forward/futures Hedge.

    in Futures you should take multiples of $1000 (100*$1000) ,
