Binary option - 2 currency pairs

Something I haven't met before: maybe they are very commonplace.I have an option(European) which pays out a fixed amout if both currency pairs are equal or below a trigger quanties at expiry- USD is common to both. Any ideas appreciated how to price. Thanks

Basis Swap Convention

yeah, the spread is added to the LHS index from the quote, 1m vs. 6m add to 1mL; just seems to be the market convention. CP VS. 3mL add to CP rate

Hedging Equity Correlation

You could go short dispersion to hedge, but that is fraught with danger...you are selling individual vols..leaves oneself open to the unexpected
