neutral trading

Hi,

there is something I don’t understand about neutral trading.
This example always comes up:
After a spread of x PIPs on the difference of EUR/USD and USD/CHF you buy 1 Lot of both pair. Or 1 Lot of EUR/USD and 1.5 Lots of USD/CHF (for real neutral trading value).
My fees on this are….
EUR/USD 2 PIPs
USD/CHF 3 PIPs
So a total of 5 PIPs on fees for an entry of x PIPs difference.

Isn’t that exactly the same as would I Range trade a x Range of EUR/CHF with only a fee of 3 PIPs?
Why do people go threw the USD and call it a neutral trading?
That is what I don’t understand and would be happy when someone could explain the positive effect of neutral trading or what this is all about….

It is obvious that I am missing a little part so what is it?

Hmm... at least a HI and a ohh welcome to your first post would be nice :-)
It seams that nobody can or wants to help me… Am I the only person who has this confusion?
Well good trading

You are not missing anything, your analysis is correct.
The problem with the underwhelming lack of response is probably more to do with the fact that this subject is a dead horse which has been beaten into its component atoms.

Well thank you.
That is an answer that I was looking for.
I didn’t know that this subject was beaten to the last atom. That what I saw was that there was a mega thread with an trading system attached with PDF and rules that which I read threw half way but there (at least for the first half of that megathread) nothing answering my question. They just kept confirming that the pro hedge manager blabla used this for years.

Well I thank you for filling my lack of this knowledge.
