Leveraged Decay: how to calculate itBrexit and currency hedging has thrown up the need for products such as SUP3 however there is danger in holding such leveraged products as SUP3 (3X Long GBP Short EUR). As path dependency of the currency picks up in volatility the arithmetic mean drifts below the geometrical mean. This is most easily realised in the following example of an up and down fluctuation of 10%: 100 +10% = 110 110 - 10% = 99 We have lost 1% due to the path dependency having only moved up and down 10% We can approximate the volatility drag using the following: Volatility Drag = 0.5 * (Leverage) * (Standard Deviation) ^2 This comes from the formula for the geom mean: Geom Mean = Arith Mean - 0.5 * SD^2 It is not precise but allows a proxy to be formed!

Clearly this is bearish!!SHARE PRICES, SINCE FRIDAY’S MARK, HAVE MOVED NOWHERE as our International Index has lost one single point as five of the ten markets in our Index have fallen and as five have risen. Given that our Index finished last year at 9,556 and given that it is 9,238, for the year-to-date stocks in global terms are down 3.3%, while stocks here in the US as represented by the S&P are as close to unchanged as they can be for the S&P closed last year at 2,044 and it closed Friday at 2,046. What is more important, however, than the year-to-date change is the change from our Index’ all-time high late last May at 11,185, for from that high stocks globally are down a very material 17.4%. Clearly this is bearish; clearly stocks in global terms are not bullishly inclined and clearly too here in the US , as evidenced by the chart of the NASDAQ included here this morning at the lower left of p.1, the very nature of the US market is turning for the worse as the upward sloping trend line that has defined the bullish run here in the States is about to be put very much to test. Quietly, but steadily, in our own account… our retirement funds here at TGL and the only money we manage but money that is really rather important to us, obviously!... we are turning bearish of equities. Friday, because our position in aluminium has been turning against us, we cut that position yet again, for we always try our best “to do more of that which is working and less of that which is not.” We began cutting that position late two weeks ago and quietly but steadily cut it back last week and now have 1/3 of the position that we had on at its peak. It’s hurt us badly that we did not cut it more swiftly and more severely, but that is the nature of our trading activity; we are relatively slow to add to positions and we are equally, but relatively slow to cut them back, but do it we have. For the record, as of Friday’s close we are +4.3% for the year-to-date, out-performing our International Index handily and still out-performing the S&P and thus most hedge funds; but clearly the past two weeks have not been our best. Today, however, given our positions in gold we should see the “spread” between our performance and that of the broad global and parochial US markets widen pleasantly in our favor.

Long Gold Short OilGold has a historic relevance as being a price appreciator in times of volatility, geopolitical risk and economic uncertainty. Current day presents a plethora of risks both economic and political; from emerging market credit risk through to south china sea politics. Oil, like Gold has benefitted from a fall in the USD which has lead to some price recovery, however this does not change the fundamental facts that there is still chronic oversupply. Long Gold for economic risk hedge, Short Oil for for USD revaluation protection and further oversupply issues.

Asymmetrical risk trade: No FOMC hike: Long EUR/CHF to 1.1140Full Thoughts: wordpress.com When conviction is super high, trades get crowded and markets get one-sided. Um, remember the 5+ sigma move in EUR/USD post Draghi's disappointment, last week? One-sided markets offer great opportunities for asymmetrical risk. Yes, longs got burned a la Draghi, but the market still sees global monetary policy divergence as a stedfast theme, albeit to a lesser degree. Dollar strength doesn't lie with a single rate rise. Instead it relies on the expectation of subsequent rises following the commencement of lift-off. A surprise fold, would push lift-off another 6 months down the road, too far into the future for dollar-longs to finance the trade as vigorously. Short USD is the first-level trade. Where can we find more beta? Maybe EURUSD? Equity markets expect a hike, and par for that expectation will be bullish for stocks = Short EUR and buy US stocks. Folding will firstly be fundamentally bullish for the EUR/USD cross and secondly bearish for equities, which will further strengthen EUR/USD due to carry trade unwinds. USDCHF? With the world's lowest interest rates (-0.75%), it makes sense that if the Fed doesn't move, you'll see outsized strength in CHF. Combining the two, go long EUR/CHF.

The idea of pair trading: Industrial Metals & Minerals.Ladies and gentlemen, I recommend you the idea of the pair trade: 1. it is long position in the company OCIR (OCI Resources LP) and short position in the company RIO (Rio Tinto plc). 2. it is long position in the company OCIR (OCI Resources LP) and short position in the company ARLP (Alliance Resource Partners LP). Stocks of the company OCIR are stronger than RIO and ARLP since 2014. I think that next 2 months stocks of the company OCIR will be stronger than RIO ana ARLP. Risk-management: I reccomend to use a conservative approach. The trade capital divide equally between 2 pairs: OCIR-RIO and OCIR-ARLP. The proportions of each company in pairs: 1. Stocks of the company RIO are more volatility than OCIR: * 53% it is long OCIR. * 47% it is short RIO. 2. Stocks of the company OCIR are more volatility than ARLP: * 37% it is long OCIR. * 63% it is short ARLP. This allocation between stocks is necessary for the parity volatilities.

EURUSD, USDCAD , DXY index Dynamic intraday hedging Dynamic intra day hedging: Fundamentals and and a lack of interest in the euro has has it fall substantially, USDCAD is -95% corralated to the EURUSD and we have seen a strong canadian dollar over the past few d ays. effectively by creating two positions one short on the eurusd and one long in usd cad with the same lot sizes we can effectively minimize risk. we can minimize risk even more by then adding the two lot sizes from eurusd and usdcad to create another positions in the dxy which then minimizes risk even more

Kiwi hedge with the EuroI have a number of NZD longs currently in play (vs CAD and GBP) and this trade is an offset to that somewhat heavy exposure. Opened a long position at trendline support and the .764 fibonacci level @ 1.5035. Daily wick is looking good (currently) at forming a very positive hammer candle. I'm hoping for a 2-3 week trade into trendline resistance and confluence with the longer term descending channel @ 1.5950.. at which point I would look to initiate shorts once again.
