As futures traders, we can remove the dollar component of trading various contracts by placing a pairs trade. Today, we do exactly that with Gold (/GC) and Yen (/6J) by trading in terms of Yen per ounce of Gold. Recently, Both Yen and Gold have been trading near their highs, but Gold in Yen terms is not near highs, making it an opportunity to execute a pairs trade. Pete, Tom and Tony walk through the notional values of each contract, and then adjust the contract ratio given the implied volatility in both underlyings.
