Howdy
I have a system that works well with a FX spot of the EUR vs AUD [or EURAUD
meaning euro /aust dollar]
anyways the spread of the bid and ask of the EURAUD is like 14 pips [ie bid
is 1.6729 and the ask is 1.6743] so basically the commisiion is like 14 pips
or in other words 140$ commission :O( which is bad.....
But.....
looking at the bid/ask of the EUR vs USD its spread is 3 pips [ie bid is
1.3181 and the ask is 1.3184] which is good 30$
....and....
looking at the bid/ask of the AUD vs USD its spread is 3 pips [ie bid is
.7875 and the ask is .7878] which is also good 30$

so isnt buying 100k of of Eur/AUD the same as Buying 100k of the EUR/USD and
Selling 100k of the AUD/USD ? [which costs in spreads 2*30$ which is better
than the spread of the EUR/AUD of 1*140$?]
or am i missing something?

Cheers
Cameron
