N Nym Aug 9, 2012 #13 Quote from luisHK: as long as you buy when eurchf is around 1.201 (I add when it goes below) - and as long the SNB is defending the floor, you're basically long EUR against all currencies + specifically long EURCHF + long the carry. More... just a quick question: do you have to convert EUR at the spot price when you buy the future? Right? Otherwise when the future expire you are "forced" to convert CHF in EUR and you do not have CHF. Alternatively you can roll the position, isn't it?
