If any one can help with this is as it's driving me nuts. I want to calculate the break even point of 2 positions via a formula. For example if I have a long position of 5@1261 and a short position of 3@1251. What is the easiest way of calculating break even if the market keeps trending up? Thanks
"If a train leaves a station westbound at 45mph, and another....." so, set them both in an equation = 0, and then solve. More intuitively: put 'em into a ladder: 3*1251 in one column price it up to 1261 (so, 10*300) in a second column (et cetera) And then in a third column (5*1261) and then in a fourth, price this difference (from 1261) also, up up up up. When column two = column four, you're set. ( Man! That takes ya back, don't it?? )
