Put Option vs. Call Option

CClaire6y ago
Hi John, I'm struggling to get my head around whether or not we need a put option or call option when looking at forex hedging. My thoughts were that if the company was due to receive money in the future we'd purchase a put option, on the flip side, if the company was expected to make a payment in the future it would be a call option. Please can you help.

It depends in which currency the options are quoted. It is all explained in detail in my free lectures on foreign exchange risk management.
