I wanted to get short AUD, EUR and USD.

Have no opinion on JPY and want to avoid CHF

the best I could come up with since I'm pretty neutral on CAD and GBP was

short AUD/CAD

short EUR/CAD

long GBP/USD

anybody have a better idea?

not sure what the carry implications of all that will be

Why go long GBP/USD? If your gonna go short with conviction then do it. Otherwise park ur butt on the bench.

How long do you want to hold, or expect to? I like the CAD positions as the swap is mitigated. CAD has had a massive run and has reversed on the daily against the USD. I would not want to be long CAD here, especially if the SPX rolls over now that QE and Draghi is priced into the mkts.

average hold is 8 days, but usually after I take a profit on the whole thing, I wait for a pullback and then put it on again.

ah the heck with it. I took off the GBP.

I'd like to get short the dollar longterm against something. My problem is, I don't really want to get long anything else. Already have a gold program, and not sure I want to get into trading DX. But that would probably be the way to go.
