There was a 24% annual swap arbitrage system!
An amazing system has existed in the world!!
Swap arbitrage that generates an annual profit of 24%.
What is swap arbitrage?
Swap arbitrage is a mechanism that uses FX to take profits at interest rates.
Forex brokers, for example, if you buy dollars in dollars and yens, you can get "interest rates" called swap points according to the interest rate difference between Japanese yen and the US dollar.
List of policy interest rates in each country >
Here is a list of policy rates announced by "Forex Dot Com" in each country.
Looking at this table, the Japanese policy rate is -0.10%. Now, it is terrible that if you deposit money because of negative interest rates, you will lose money.
However, if you look at the United States, it is 2.25%, so if you deposit $ 10,000, you will earn $ 225 a year.
Using this, using FX, if you have a position, you can get an interest rate as a swap point.
In the case of FX, you will buy and sell in currency pairs, so you will buy US dollars and sell Japanese yen.
Now you can get the difference between US dollar and Japanese yen in swap points.
However, some people may say that the difference between swaps is insignificant and not delicious.
Certainly, US interest rates are high at 2.25%, which is insignificant.
Even if you deposit $ 10,000 at a bank, you only earn $ 225 a year. Moreover, if there is a fluctuation in exchange rates, it will blow up to the profit.
It seems that you can hear the voice saying, "No, no!"
★ without risk
★ Can earn 24% annual interest
That's a trick.
That is swap arbitrage.
It's a trick, but it's easy to do. In the case of the US dollar and Japanese yen, you just have a buy position and a sell position at the same time in dollar yen.
In fact, this method is a lot of introduction on the Internet in a relatively classic way.
However···
Actually, the method introduced on the net cannot be used.
The reason is that forex brokers increase the value of minus swap because they hate this swap arbitrage!
For that reason, if you build a two-story building, it will become negative every day instead of making a big profit.
Then it doesn't make any sense...
But FTL's swap arbitrage is a special thing that doesn't shy away from the trick.
★ without risk
★ Can earn 24% annual interest
Moreover, since this can be completed within one company, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations is completely suppressed.
Since swap arbitrage is a two-denominated system, you may feel that there is no risk of foreign exchange fluctuation.
For example, like this
Trader A: Buy position profit
Trader B: Sell position impairment
In this situation, there is no profit or loss if you offset the trader A and the trader B, but what if it looks like the one below?
Contractor A: Buy position Fund 100,000 yen Included profit / loss +50,000 yen
Contractor B: Sell position Fund 100,000 yen Included profit / loss 50,000 yen
We cannot say exactly without calculating the margin maintenance rate, but the account of trader B is on the verge of forced loss cut. If left untouched, the account of trader B will be cut off.
So you have to settle both positions, transfer funds from Trader A to Trader B, and then reopen.
This is the risk of swap arbitrage between two companies.
However, this time we will introduce swap arbitrage that can be done within one company.
Therefore, it is possible to take only the interest rate difference without risk of exchange rate fluctuation.
It took almost a year to build this mechanism;
That's the perfect mechanism over time.
