Got a dumb question When you trade fx option, lets say you buy a call eurusd, do you have to pay the daily swap ? or you just trade the option as it is?
...I don't trade them but I'd assume no.

We are about 6 weeks out from the meat of Q2 earnings season. This is when I start looking for cheap calendar or other time spread setups, to try to get into positions that might catch good moves off the ER's. With 6 weeks of time you can try legging in long and maybe get enough movement on one or even both of the legs to sell against those longs for risk reduction. Ideally, iv's are cratering and you can catch an uptick in iv's also so that your short legs retain or gain value.

I will show what I mean if I see something I like.....

...market volatility keeps the iv's up so waiting for calm on this kind of setup.....still lotsa time.

Rain maker in US Equities is not the monetary policy but US/China deal & macro deterioration

No US/China deal alone is direct ==> 272x ==> 262x in ES

Rate cuts (that will be guarantee if no deal) will only ensure a soft landing

US elections are not so far away, China can wait one more year to sign a better deal, the stable genius has cornered himself
Accumulating shorts here. Trade war only a catalyst, macro deterioration already here
