A CONSIDERATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE TRADING TECHNIQUES USING INTRADAY EUR/USD CURRENCY PRICES

Global financial institutions provide a mechanism for multinational corporations to hedge against exchange rate risk via currency futures contracts and spot exchange rates. Currency managers working at these global financial institutions overseeing EUR/USD spot currency traders lack adequate data to determine if alternative trading tools could increase net gains for their respective firms. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the net gains from alternative trading techniques that can be utilized by currency managers working for international banks and hedge funds when trading the EUR/USD currency on an intraday basis.
