10 MM Forex positioning.

+1.4/ -1.4%, unless you want to just let it float since one is using zero leverage.

 

Are you talking to me? I would hardly call it the Spanish Inquisition treatment unless one is incredibly fragile.
What I did is give a detailed explanation of issues that could arise, from my experience.

 

Easy Tiger, just a little hyperbole.

Yup you laid it out succinctly how they should structure a portfolio of multiple FX positions. I just think they were looking for opinion on direction, but since they've not shown back yet I guess it wasn't so important regardless.

 

Who are you, their psychologist? Go try your passive aggressive BS on someone else.

 

LOL wow geez chill or don't - whatever.

But BTW you didn't actually answer their question "Do you recommend closing any of the positions?"

Too busy flexing your FX knowledge "Citi" trader.

 

Have closed all positions.

How long was the holding period? Some of the positions look very correlated. Do you have to pay or collect interest on your positions and are they significant

 

The holding period was 1 week. The positions may look correlated, but the size allocated to each is different, so % movement would be different. No matter what, overall exposure is more important and is rarely going to be even across the currencies.
