The process of hedging involves a single currency pair or two different currency pairs that have a common base currency. Some traders also use correlation to find different currency pairs with positive or negative correlation with each other, and then enters a buy or sell position according to their market analysis. So it's up to you what to do.

This is also one of the options in order to secure your trade.

This is the basic hedging procedure on the market:
Buying Euro - EUR/USD
Sale of Swiss franc dollar - USD/CHF
These two assets have a strong negative correlation, which means that when the euro rises, the Swiss franc falls by the same value, equally.
Thus, if the acquired asset loses value, the trader receives a loss amount due to the position on the second asset, which reacts with the same amplitude.

Depends on the conditions of the market, but EUR is usually good one to hedge

In any case, it is best to focus on how the market behaves.

It’s very much dependent on market conditions. But generally speaking, major currencies like USD, GBP and EUR are good ones to hedge.

That would sometime work but sometimes not

Hedging is the most dangerous trading strategy if you don't have any knowledge about it. So, gather proper knowledge, before using hedging on your trading.

Yes, I agree with you. Not learning hedging strategies can be detrimental to investment.

Do you have a particular reason to choose this pair or this is just an example? Do all the pair with same base currency have a negative correlation?

I don't hedge because hedging is for professional traders. If I see that my position is in losing position, I will close them up.
