Hedging consists of opening a combination of positions that will reduce the risk of your initial position. In most cases, traders will hedge a position buy opening a new position of the same currency pair but in the other direction.

For example, if you are long 100K EURUSD, by selling 100K EURUSD you are fully hedged. Indeed, if the EURUSD rate goes up, gains on the long position will be canceled by losses on the short position. If the EURUSD rate goes down, any gains in the short position will be canceled by losses in the long position. In effect, this is similar to closing the position because any gains or losses are locked in when you hedge. You can also chose to partially hedge a position which will limit only part of your risk.

Hedging is no longer allowed only for US based brokers, otherwise most brokers (but not all so check before you open on account) offer hedging capabilities.
