Hedge to reduce cost base

EURUSD is trading in an improtant resistance area of Elliott Wave 5 and Bat pattern. The trade does not develop and I saw a change of going long the Euro on EURGBP in order for me to reduce the cost of a potential loosing trade on the EURUSD. SInce the EURUSD is longterm with hgh profit potential and EURGBP is short with small profit potential, I will still make a siginifcant profit on the EURUSD if eventually is will pay out the way I suggested.
