    I am massively short the USD.

    I don't have a quote right now, but it's routinely 1.5-2.0 in the US day-session. I don't typically trade CAD as I am 80% in the vol on EUR-crosses. EURUSD is a pip wide. I can do better on Majors but then no OTC vol. Download the software and contact them for a trial.

    1.5 in USDCAD.

    I am massively short the USD.

    I doubt it. UBS used to have a $600K minimum if you were AI-status. IOW, you could be retail and an AI and trade the FX and barriers. They have tightened that up due to US regs. I would think that will $2-3MM you could trade thru an LLC.

    I am massively short the USD.

    I can also short a touch under spot, or a digital. I have some short vol under the mkt, but it's the 10-delta strike.

    I am massively short the USD.

    In the sense that a 200-lot at the bid impacts microstructure. It's going to move CAD futures a pip or two and you're not going to get filled. You can lift the offer up to the posted limit in spot and you're done.

    I am massively short the USD.

    Yeah, I wouldn't touch even a 50-lot order in futures. UBS was 100MM-up on the ask.

    How much do the top ET traders make?

    Yes, indood. The sight site is toxic AF.

    I am massively short the USD.

    Allows me to trade OTC vol (vanillas; KO/KIs; digitals) against the position.

    I am massively short the USD.

    Replicating a short in the USDX.

    I am massively short the USD.

    I am long equity vol as well but I can't talk about it here (ET).

    I am massively short the USD.

    Yes, I get that. I simply stated that I am not in any other CAD crosses. Sure, I can quote my USD exposure, but I chose not to do so. I get your point; I should have stated my net USD exposure.It's a pretty low bar on this forum and I thought I'd get "cop out" by posting the figure.

    I am massively short the USD.

    It is. Clearly. I am long more than CAD. I stated so in the opening post. I am not expecting millions in CAD. The position is synthetically short USDX.

    I am massively short the USD.

    Jesus, people can't read. I am essentially short synthetic USDX in spot (other unnamed pos). $1,500 per pip in *USD*... yes, it's denominated in CAD for those of you that did 5th grade twice. I'm not going to respond to BS. I'll post the eventual stop/cover.

    I am massively short the USD.

    UBS Neo. Spot. No direct hedge (no other CAD pair traded). My haircut is higher that the futures. $15xx USD per pip.

    lol Betsy DeVos lost $100MM on her Theranos PE investment. I think she's got a cabinet position. Oh yeah, the Chmn of Fox as well.

    I am massively short the USD.

    Good for export markets, oil/services. etc. Any way that I look at it it ends badly for equities, net-net. I cannot buy exporters as it flies in the face of my bearish macro-view, hence the short USD thesis.

    I am massively short the USD.

    I have reconciled taking heat on tariff-reduction, but feel I am going to make 7-figures over the next two years short the USD. A de facto short dollar policy will be adopted by the current and successive Administration(s). We must inflate via a weak-dollar inflationary spiral to pay the US debt...

    taking longs out of a fly

    cannot go into details without (legitimately) violating an NDA other than to state that there is inherent predictive value in studying the shape of the wing and local-vol curvature.

    Short a synthetic straddle... says risks are minimal. Who says that ET is a troll farm?
