Seriously now, and TECHNICALLY speaking, does it take a "GooRoo" or a Jedi Blackbelt Ex-Goldman trader to make money out of this? Putting aside one's ego and greed, what else remains? #optionstrading #options
This is a green light for a long call GBPUSD. There's a lot of strengthon both sides at the moment, so 100 pips away contracts with enough time to breathe, but to be cautious let's make it a 66/33 position (66% long calls 33% long puts). If the bulls are not strong enough for this timeframe, we adjust fast. Stay strong, everybody!
Like GBPUSD, this one shows more strength though; same deal, long calls 100 pips away and let's see what happens.
Getting ready for a EURUSD Long call. Later today or tomorrow. Let's make some money from thi$$$
Not so big payouts for this one ( #USOIL) but US CRUDE IS climbing the hill, and there's a chance for a decent 66/33 option play (66%long call 33% long put). With long enough expiration dates and a reasonable target strike price, it's a good trade to take. Besides, trading oil contracts always makes you look cool!
Longs: $INTC $WMT Shorts: $KO Targets: 5%-10% for stock trading, 100% for options. 1-2 months ahead for expirations. Good luck (kidding...), and HEDGE for God's sake.
Let's take a few pips from this one, shall we? Open Long Calls USDJPY June expiry 111.00 strike Bought at 84 points (x $ stake).
Yesterday was signal day for GBPUSD. So, long call for this pair, opened at 1.32 and target is 1.33 for a 50% payout (cost of contract 113 euro, exit planned at around 180 euro minus expenses = a 50% net profit). Let's see what happens. Take action people, and stop predicting. Predictions are for astrologists, not traders, because the market is always right :)
On the the 20th of March when EURUSD reached a resistance level, I argued on how one can benefit by opening simultaneous long call and long put positions to benefit from the volatility regardless of the direction of the move (read it here) . The prices that day on my broker (IG) were: 1.1350 (at-the-money) long call April 2019 = 42.3 1.1350 (at-the-money) long...
On the 14th of March I opened long puts w/ strikes at 1.31 and 1.30 ( read it here ). The pair was trading around 1.32 So, yesterday, the cable took the anticipated short-term dive, and almost touched the 1.30, allowing for a smooth exit, and a good profit from both positions (50% and 100+% respectively). Nothing better than having the underline hit your target....
So, turning point reached for EURUSD. Brake the resistance and keep moving up, or hit and go down? Actually, it makes no difference because we trade options and all we have to do is go long on a call and a put. Then wait and double our money. As long as the parity is volatile, we're golden.
Just opened an options trade for GBPUSD long put (or sell the parity if you're a futures or cfd person). April contracts, targets are 1.31 and 1.30 Let's see what happens.
So, here we are. On March 10, I posted an entry point if EURUSD touched the 1.12 barrier (read it here) . The parity was up, and in case it gave us the chance, I would enter. It did on March 11 (yesterday), so, I entered as I posted in the comments of that thread. Today, it touched the goal (April Long Calls at 1.13) so I exited with a profit. Mind you, options...
OK, so the #DJI is moving like crazy the last couple of years (bitcoin-like crazy). Here's a possible long Call options trade for April expiry (500-points out of the money), IF tomorrow closes without a lower low than the one on Friday. Theres a BIG resistance line in the 26000-26100 area (and I mean B-I-G resistance area), so the target price is right up there....
EURUSD made a nice uptick move in the weekend. If you are a Day-timeframe trader and you get the opportunity to enter close to the 1.12-1.121 price point on Monday, it's a good trade to take. The chances of breaking above 1.13 look promising, so an entry in the low 1.12's with enough margin (if you're a futures person), could be quite lucrative. That's it!
So, last Friday I posted the purchase of 10 EURUSD put contracts. Expiration, beginning of April @1.1250 The market failed to make a new high, and the volume pressure on the pair was obvious. So much more money put on sell positions. If you were watching the volumes (which you should) the choice would be obvious. The price fall accelerated as the days passed,...
OK, so I bought 20 Puts (long Puts) on GBPUSD last Friday. My post was this one here : Today is liquidation day as the puts touched the strike price (1.3200) A 20% profit for just a couple of days patience. Gotta love the "Cable" :) Have a great week people!
Failed new high plus volume profile = Long put options on GBPUSD @ 1.3270. Early April maturities w/ strike prices 1.3200 and 1.3150 #in
