Glad you're making sense on the system sky!! it's not hard

no indicators...no crutches...just go with the flow



Hey guys...here's a hint form an old dog like me


mark in your calendars "options expiration day"

the day before is usually a flat day...all across the markets

usually on days like this, somebody ..somewhere is dumping options..... big time........usually they dump a lot of stuff including euro's....keep this day up in your calendars and for all of you in the EST zone......wake up at london time session (3:00 AM ) and catch the wave...
Peace

Not necessarily with some exceptions...this is one...a lot of big guns (Morgan Stanley, etc) dump plenty of stuff in order to cash it out to keep the ball rolling They hedge billions of dollars in currencies, especially currency options.

Still, swaps are the biggest business in forex

Correlations between markets is a deep subject. I use it a lot but is way complicated for me to put it on a thread. But I least I'll give you a hint form time to time as long as this thread is alive

I am sorry...they don't necessary dump...they also buy..so it all depends....I know they're dumping euro's today

Contrary to popular belief, the dollar is not in a so bad shape as some "economist" think...it can work both ways, you know.

Great suggestion Feb !
From investopedia I can see that Options expiration date is defined as :

'The expiration date for all listed stock options in the U.S. is the third Friday of the expiration month (except when it falls on a holiday, in which case it is on Thursday)'

So we have to sign every third friday , is that right ?

yes Feb it's unbealiveable simple and powerful ! The thing that I like mostly is that if you are wrong and order is not triggered then you don't lose anything, just delete the pending order and start again to search for a fresh setup. Of course there's no 100% wins since sometimes market could hit the order then go against but this is part of the game

I think we're going to have a very slow day. I believe the dumping it's due already. I am going to close my position. 203 ticks.
