The paper presents the method and results of simulation experiments on the Polish enterprises use of asymmetric option strategies, or so called toxic derivatives, as a measure of euro currency exchange rate risk hedging. The main goal of our research was to find out if the decision to use asymmetric option strategies could be considered as a decision leading to a decrease in risk carried by enterprises in normal market conditions. We also look for an answer to the question of what were the effects of using the chosen hedging strategy in a time horizon of one quarter and one year, with changing market conditions considering the euro currency exchange rate. Using the Monte Carlo simulation, we compared the financial results produced by enterprises without hedging, with simple put option hedging and with asymmetric option strategies.
