And you can't make a dime trading FX. It's not your fault. Nobody can make any money in FX. We're over 40Y into institutional FX trading. It hasn't been a profit center for banks since 1990 and you're somehow going to make bank in FX at 4-5% realized vol. Right.

Poor, poor baby.

I'm ready to change parties...

lol post his rap sheet here.

If shorting; go long the x-put, short the x-call, same strike. Reverse for longs. IBKR will require less. It will also give you an indication on what HTB shares are costing you. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/04/092904.asp

lol there is no way that you have a Value at Risk figure of <1% unless you're trading odd lots. That's complete fantasy. Do you even know what the VaR represents? Your daily VaR is under 1%? Go long or short the synthetic if you're holding overnights.
