Carry Trade with triangular pairs?

I am investigation whether it would be possible hold a positive carry trade with any triangular combination(s) : in the example bellow i used swab rates info from MT4 table....

sell chfjpy - 7
buy gbpjpy + 22
sell gbpchf -17

triangular strategy would be neutral...!!! No exchange fluctuation would be expected . and the idea is to profit from the interests.

here is the challange: since the example above leads to negative swab, it is possible to work with different brokers simultaneously to find that positive swab between the three pairs.
Anybody knows brokers offering unusual swabs ??? any ideas ??

Two or three years ago, it was possible to find brokers who did not pay or deduct swaps, in order to attract Muslims.
FXSol was one of them.

You would open a position with a positive swap at a broker who paid. You would open the opposite position with a non-swap broker.


I don't know if that's still possible.

can anyone see anything wrong with this :

FXDD rates ( updated as of now)


Sell AUDUSD - 11
Buy EURUSD 00
Sell EURAUD + 13

no exchange fluctuation! pure 2% interest .... don't forget about leverage.

Bill, check out my latest example with AUD/EUR/USD,,,, what do you think?

That's a very interesting idea ! Have you tried it and is it even possible ? Sound complicated but so simple... Tiny interest rate + huge leverage = sexy profit. I fear that the market could "dislocate" more than we can handle...

edit : and for the record, the math on your first idea showed a loss

Edit 2 : the rollover rates on fxdd right now would show a loss :
AUD/USD9.10 (long)
EUR/AUD-16.77 (short)
EUR/USD0.00 (long)
total -7.67

hey ismail...... even if the combined interest could be positive the euraud's tickvalue might work against you..... looking at the symbols only it appears to be a wash...... compare the tickvalue of each to get a truer picture.....

the days of carry trades will return but odds are you'll be better off straight trading now......

there was a ff member, 'timefreedom', that had a pretty good carry trade ea several years ago.....h
