Discuss in detail whether you agree or disagree with the statement below.

"Hedging with a forward contract allows us to lock in the final price for our hedge, while hedging with a futures $($or HTA$)$ contract allows us to lock in a specific futures price. Therefore, hedging with a forward contract always gives a higher realized price compared to hedging with a futures $($or HTA$)$ contract. Also, hedging with a futures contract always gives the same realized price as hedging with a HTA contract because they both allow us to lock in the futures price."
