rrram2, why are you holding longs and shorts at the same time? There is a spread on the interest rates being paid by your positions, so 10 longs and 10 shorts will be a continuous losing trade, day in day out.

If you had no position in the market, you'd be just as hedged without paying out to the interest rate spread.
