When we are trading commodities market from 10AM till 5 PM, the price of all commodities are also affected by a very important factor the USDINR rate.
Since active MCX & USDINR contract expiry dates are very near to each other, one can hedge his dollar exposure & make your position purely sensitive to commodity price in international markets.
e.g
If i Buy 1lot crude at 5000 then my transaction value is 500000, my dollar exposure is 500000/USDINR future price(say 50)= 1000 $
I should simultaneously sell 1 lot USDINR futures
Similarly both positions should be closed simultaneously.
This was the line of thinking i followed & i guess that's the correct way to do things, but there is problem for an active day trader, he pays transaction charges on both trades & these charges can be large if 8/10 trades are scratches(in price terms).
So my question to seasoned commodity players is
Is this the right way, anybody doing this actively?
If someone doing this can you share your experiences.
Thanx,
