Hedging will work best if the market trends like now for Bri/USD. I think almost all indicators will be able to catch good signal.

Hedging in one currency pair to protect a trader from a margin call is not an easy thing. You can get trapped in the middle of your short and long trades. Getting out from this trap requires a trader's good trading skill.

Why hedge? Just get out for a loss.

I like the full 100% hedge.. Nice returns for the risk :-)

which brokers do you guys use for the swap free side?

As soon as they discover you use them to cover the swap, the game is over.

well.. I have had one for a few months now... I do a lot of other trades on the account as well.. They do not seem to mind. If I just used them to cover a carry trade, they probably would not be happy and close my account.
