Binary Options Broker Increased Yields on Forex Trading

I just got a heads up that several forex trading cross pairs got a boost to 81% yields – which if you use any kind of binary hedge strategy really improves the performance of the trade pair. Word is that these contracts are currently paying 81% on the following Assets (EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GOLD., BARCLAYS,...

Day Trading Forex Market Monitor

No day trading forex market disconnect between risky cross pairs and the S&P 500 at the open this morning… they may be on to me haha. To make money doing this stuff I wait for what others have called de-coupling and then I jump in. Not seeing anything yet this morning, but given the...

S&P 500 Market Read on Forex Trading Open

Our read of the S&P 500 at the open is decidedly negative given the risk-off signal coming from the forex markets. Given we opened more or less level / near zero we see binary options trading put open as the play. We’ll see where that goes and keep an eye out for Jesus the...

Day Trading Options to Make Money 7/27/10

Day trading options to make money today involve starting with about a plus 0.6% rise in the S&P 500 off yesterday’s close. We missed with our binary hedge yesterday (which happens more often than not when you don’t get a 50-75bp spread). I’m not 100% certain but I think someone let a cat out...

Options Trading Market Not Overly Impressed with European Bank Stress Test

The options trading market doesn’t appear to be overly impressed with the results of the European Bank stress tests over the weekend. In fairness to all however the stress tests were designed to reassure bank customers, not the market. Despite the terrific week for the major US indices like the S&P 500, Dow Jones,...

S&P 500 Falling – Why All the Apple Stocks in the World Won’t Fix Broken Cart

S&P 500 Falling – Why All the Apple Stocks in the World Won’t Fix Broken Cart

The S&P 500 is falling today despite Apple’s good earnings results last night. What gives? If you’ve learned anything from reading our opinion / analysis pieces is that individual equities do NOT drive the market. The forex and derivatives money pool is so much deeper than any security that I wouldn’t care if Apple...

Make Money Forex Trading AUDJPY and Why You Should Thank the BOJ

People make money forex trading the AUDJPY cross in the most basic way by taking a long Australian dollar (currently the highest interest rate currency for “developed” countries) position / short Yen, and pocketing the interest premium of ~4.4% less margin interest. Leverage it up 10:1 or 100:1 (very risky) and now your interest...

Strong Yen Won’t Make Money on S&P 500

A strong Yen this morning will not make money for the S&P 500 and will likely begin reigning in the S&P 500 gains given at the open. Earnings season continues to generate trading opportunities. Overnight weakness in the Yen makes allowances for some of the bounce off of Friday’s lows but post-US open forex...

Day Trading Earnings Season – Why I Love It

Day trading during earnings season has a lot to offer the broad spectrum / index trader. One of the great ways to work the market during earnings season is to work the re-coupling of indices to their macro drivers when they get pulled out of whack by microeconomic (individual) earnings reports. It’s rather beautiful...
