Forex Spot & CME Futures Options Analysis by InvestingPit

In this topic you'll find lots of info and analysis based on price action in forex spot and CME futures options.

Why analysing options?

Simply cause changes in implied volatility of options could tell us what's expected to happen in spot and futures markets before move actually happen.

Another reason why InvestingPit website and blog was created is simply cause not many (if any at all) track and post daily changes in options markets and how this reflects key markets like euro, gold, silver, crude oil and SP500.

How would it translate to a trade setup on AUD/USD...?

Could you give a sample trade setup (entry, TP/SL) on AUD/USD BEFORE the expiration of the options...?

Because we can't tell how much intraday volatility can move price against our entry, it can be more profitable to trade options where you can sell options before expiry if you want to lock in profits or minimize loss.

This daily options expiry sometimes can act like a magnet to draw the price toward this big options expiry but this doesn't happen by default.

Usually if price is close to daily options expiry with few hours left until 10am then price might get "magnetized" to move toward big options expiry.

If price is let say over 200 pips away then no such magnetic effect and price can move even more away.

In summary - having such info of big options expiry can provide additional angle on where price might move but nothing works 100%.
