{quote} Big boys still following plan in this post. Third day in row of positioning in this area. My guess is big orders in the yellow box, with maybe some spikes above upto 840 to sucker in retail traders. If this area goes 908-920 is the next place to look for a short. {image}
got a pending order at 840.. will short again.

Well, at the most basic level, where you see the most money is where most people who are buying
the options think price should be above/below, and most people who are selling them think opposite.
Now, you have to ask yourself, who buys options, who sells them and (statistically over
the long run) which group is smarter (makes money off of the other group.)

Major prime banks underwrite options at various strikes and expiries, this happens almost everyday but thursdays and month-ends are the more important ones. Say if a bank has underwritten a put option with 1.08 strike, which means the client who holds it will have the right to sell EUR @1.08, the underwriting bank tries to make this option worthless by capping the price below 1.08. If the option sizes are big this becomes more important. The expiry time is usually 10:00 am CET -US or 15:00 pm UK time. You will notice sharp movements half an hour before and after that time if the option size is significant.

I dunno. I listened to a good lecture by someone who seemed to have a lot of trading experience about the effect of gamma scalping because of options strike values on price before and after expiry, and the places he pointed out
on the chart did seem to show that.

{quote} mmm indeed.. and Dansk bank and Citibank and BNP Paribas have all continued or increased their Sell positions setting targets between 1.04 and 50 pips above parity. As we move into the second half of this week the issues in Greece weigh heavily on the euro combined with policy divergence between Europe and the United States should lead to a lower EUR/USD. The only risk factor is if we get a bad employment report on Thursday. If that should happen it will most likely only be a very minor rise in the pair. I am still a bear...
Beleive me I am super bear on this pr have been for years, but pa never goes in one direction for ever, looking at monthly, right now is small body doji with 6 days to go, personally I have only been interested at last months close this months open including missing data
there is no where, so far in this months candle that I would be interested in shorting especially without a new low
so if this candle closes without a new low and any sort of leg, and a dogi or bull candle, there is the possibility a bottom is in the process of forming if this month prints a new low with a bear candle, it will be the 10 month of bear candles, it is history in the making
I repeat right now she is in dead mans land

The famous (or infamous) Cloggie said 10,000 hours of screen time. Which (or so I've read), is about what it takes to become expert in a lot of things - 10,000 hours.

New target levels are 760, 782 and 805. As long as closes above 782 holds, its way bullish. If grinds below, need to take care some more.

782 didnt hold and atm i see structurally likely to test further lower, 775 break opens 760 test.
