Triangulation (finance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Triangulation is a strategy whereby a trader exploits the relationship between 3 currencies, as 3 pairs. For example, EUR/CHF EUR/USD and USD/CHF. EUR/USD and USD/CHF are USD opposites (except for pip value), so if USD is moving, EUR/USD and USD/CHF should move opposite, but they do not. They move in same direction, but not in appropriate, proportional amount of price.
