1. Pay 160 Yen for 1 Euro 2. Sell 1 Euro for 1.5 USD 3. Sell 1.5 USD for 165 Yen The result is that you started with 160 Yen and ended up with 165 Yen, making 5 Yen risk free.

3% a day means that you can turn $10,000 account into $17,000,000 account in just one year. That tells me that you are as misguided as the poor folks that you are addressing here.
