Good for you. Do what works for you.
I followed post like yours 10 years back and blew over 20 accounts thinking it was an easy business until I figured out the truth.
No time to post much, heading out to a meeting.
yeah do us a favor and head out

Hi Max,

Options are orders that will be processed IF a certain price is reached within a time period right?

So, if 1.3250 is reached on the euro, theory holds that upward movement would continue?

Depends which side you hold there will be a PUT and a matching CALL, so if you hold a PUT a 1.30 that gives you the right to sell @ 1.30 if the price is below you will exercise it. If you hold a CALL @ 1.30 and price is above you would exercise your right to buy.

Now, if an exercise happens, then currency will change hands, if it is a covered option (you hold the currency already) then no impact otherwise you have to go to the market to get the currency to fulfill the option exercise which is where it can impact the price depending on volume.

The second way it impacts is through protection orders if it is approaching an option price and you have enough interest and cash in the bank these prices can get protected until after the cut time by buying or selling.

There are some people on here that scoff at these numbers, but they are looking at it wrong. Yes there is no way to tell if one of these numbers will draw any trading or not until it happens, but sometimes they do and if you are aware of the numbers then you can be on the lookout for it and it can help your trading.

If price is miles away just ignore them, if price is close but moving freely, ignore it use it how you will

Anything is possible but the trade is worth a shot, in case 1.3245 goes, it is very likely to see a new weekly high. I am trading only probabilities. I obviously don't know how it can play out but risking some of my day's profit is not a bad way of managing my risk. I made over 20 pips since morning and risking only half to make 80 pips...10:80... Wouldn't you take that...?
good for u i only made 13 pip maybe that's why i am thinking that way
A good trader follows his rules, but great trader knows when to break them

Even the worst trade can close with profit. Just give it time.

You are in a much better position than many traders who made no profits so far or worse in red. I am a newbee and have emotional problems while trading still. One thing I noticed, my best trading decisions happen to be on days when I start the day with some profit early in the day. It gives me peace of mind while trading and I act unbiased for the rest of the day. The way I see it, say I made 20 pips so far, they don't belong to me yet as long as they are still with my broker not untill I withdraw the funds. Those pips still belong to the market cause I will keep on trading... Have a think about it.

Trading can be very simple if you can stick to your rules and NEVER turn away from your own strict rules.
