Why do prices move in the same direction but with a lag on correlated instruments? - page 18

I've already written you that you're misdirecting your pair trading trades - you've actually bought NZD twice. You got lucky, but that doesn't make much sense - you paid the spread twice. And if the price had gone the other way - there would have been a double loss.

Pair trading is different

 
I think there is a win-win strategy when trading two different instruments on the same underlying asset. This is trading on SPOT and buying options at the same time, so the loss is always fixed and the profit can be infinite. In fact, the Options are just an insurance instrument for spot market positions, although one has to work on higher TFs, from H4 if not on D1. The main problem of this kind of trading is the lack of a universal account on which both position and options can be opened at the same time. Why nobody uses it, I do not understand.

futures and options live together in single brokerage accounts for a long time (not forex)

Why should they? But not in MT5. In Quickk, maybe. I don't know, I haven't tried it...

Failure! It's not a paired trade... better to go to the factory...

(at best there will be a common cross with a small tiny amount of common currency remaining)

Why would it be? But not in MT5. In Quickk it might still be. Don't know, haven't tried it...
