DD Doubt

[Iury Mendes Da Silva]

Hey, guys!

Considering a USD 1,000 account, what would be my DD if I open a long position and a short position at the same time?

For example, if my long position (USD/CAD) is +100 USD and my short position (EUR/USD) is -150 USD, what would be my DD? 5% or 15%?

100. You should consider a USD 100 account.
