These speculators see a glossy brochure, a hip name, and want in on Miami in general. Isn't one of the parables of real estate to...

    I was referring to the above, which is incorrect, since you have positions all throughout that range. During a 6200 pip range from bottom to top (or vice versa) you would have an unrealized loss of 387,500 pips, assuming 50 pip incremental trades. Increase the pip spacing and you reduce...
