OTC options provide two benefits over the GLOBEX version, the commission should be lower, and in some cases can be negotiated to be zero and it allows for the creation of “exotic” options, such as DNT between the two parties. That said, retail ...

Yes, I have no access to the OTC options marketplace, but even if I did, I would still trade using the exchange model – it provides superior regulation, security and margin (via SPAN). The benefits of the OTC options marketplace, and there are some, ...

You are, but that’s understandable. These are all based on the CME GLOBEX 6J future; I don’t trade OTC options, which have strikes resembling spot market prices. The 4th segment written in my trade is always the strike, 0.00965 and 0.0102 for ...

In my specific case, if we see it, great – will we see it, I have no idea but we did see some weakness this week. The only scenario that can actually put me in a worse position is if we trade way below 103.50 by the end of next Friday, I’m talking ...

I already did above, which garnered a beautifully arrogant and stupid response from one member. I’m not even going to reply to him. Here is an interesting read, very recent too, November 2013. It’s an IMF Working Paper on the Yen and USD with ...

Safe haven flows. The disappointing data from China has rattled just about every major equity market. The Yen functions much like the USD in times of risk-off, it gets stronger. This would be a great catalyst for a long overdue correction, but ...

Two things traders should be aware of this week with regards to their trading; Japanese equity and JGB markets are closed until January 6th, yesterday was the last trading day of the week. This will reduce liquidity considerably, even more so around ...

The fact the Nikkei has been selling off since the opening, yet the Yen has been weakening to print 105 with an immediate back-off should be taken as a cautionary tale. The FX futures actually didn’t hit the equivalent of 105 until about 20-30 ...

The answer you’re looking for is complicated to explain. I won’t go into the merits of choosing an ECN broker vs. market marker, I’m sure that’s been written on every forum in this site. If you ask me the futures are the absolute best choice for the ...

I would assume that FXPro and TOS are both ECN brokers? The liquidity on the ECNs right now is light, very light but trading. They have probably made the business decision to just close and not offer service until some specified time over the ...

Are you looking at the 6J future? If so, GLOBEX is closed until 6AM EST tomorrow morning – special opening time.

It’s not that easy. If the BOJ “directly” intervenes to weaken there currency they will raise alarms in Asia and with other organizations, such as the G-6 and G-20 where they have promised to not do so. Specifically Korea and a number of other ...

Agreed, pull backs must occur otherwise it overheats and excessive downside moves occur, sometimes commonly referred to as a crash (at least for those on the wrong side of the market – most of you would be). This was partly the reason we had the ...
