I once opend two interest positiv EUR/USD and USD/CHF positons (both LONG) just to collect swap every night. You're hedged this way too. My biggest floating loss was 30 pips (over months) on 1 Lot EURO 1.5 Lots Swissy = 2.5 Lots.

Uhm, you'd be hedged against dollar moves... but you'd still have an effective directional trade of EUR/CHF (assuming longs on both).
No. EUR/CHF moved +100 Pips during that time.
Stop repeating what you once read somewhere on this forum.
Optical,

Is your strategy take advantage of the changing pips cost?

If you place the position in one account and do the exactly opposite in another account, you surely earn nothing.

What I understand is:
If you take profit at one account and then reopen the same positions in that account, this is different from keep the position open, because you earning in pips will be converse into USD at that moment's rate, while that conversion rate is to your flavor.

Is this how your strategy make money?

How much % per month do you earn with that?

Hi,

It would be nice to try this system with an EA. An EA that can close one set of trades (2 trades) whenever one specific profit appears. It would be great if this EA could handle at least two set of trades on the same account. This could be achieved with some sort of basket EA I think. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks.

Archie
