What is short hedge?
The short hedge is a hedging strategy used by manufacturers and producers to lock in the price of a product or commodity to be delivered some time in the future. Hence, the short hedge is also known as output hedge. The short hedge involves taking up a short futures position while owning the underlying product or commodity to be delivered. Should the underlying commodity price fall, the gain in the value of the short futures position will be able to offset the drop in revenue from the sale of the underlying.
What long position is necessary to hedge a short call option?
It depends on whether the short call is covered or naked. If you have a short covered call (you own the stocks you wrote the call on), you wouldn't hedge it--if the call gets exercised you turn over the stocks you own and call it good. If you have a short naked call (you don't own the stock), hedge with a long call that has a strike price no more than the strike price of the short call. Maybe a few bucks less, if you can get it--if the counterparty to your short call exercises it, you exercise your long call, turn over the stock you received. Your profit will be the difference between the premiums on the calls, plus the difference between the strike prices.

Over time, hedge funds have evolved and they are involved in a myriad of investment strategies and the long-short funds are only a subset of all hedge funds, so that currently the name is a misnomer.
