DislikedHey guys the BuyPair7 should be USDJPY... with this it cancels out into a hedge.
The only thing I can think of is that with a larger number of pairs you are distributing your money but also paying a cost to do so with spread. In live trading slippage may also become an issue when closing your basket.
It would be interesting to see if less pairs would be a more viable approach to this style of trading or would it be better to spread your money out amongst more pairs.
Is this essentially just arb'ing a basket during volatility?
