It can definitely be a complicated matter. Other currencies aren't exactly a hedge since they are also subject to volatility, whereas the Futures Contracts allow you to lock in whatever profit you have at that moment in time, that is guaranteed to be at least that amount in the future. There is still a risk if the price goes up, but again that is why these markets are for the big guys that can sustain the losses that are possible if things do go that direction.
