OPTIONS PLAY: Euro Currency Futures Break Out
Wednesday, March 02, 2011

by Matt McKinney of Zaner


TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, KNOWLEDGE AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES.



OPTIONS PLAY: Euro Currency Futures Break Out

The EURO CURRENCY futures made a break out to the upside piercing strong resistance (3/2/11).

MY ANALYSIS

Fundamentally, according to Hightower Reports, the EURO ZONE reported a PPI number that was significantly higher than expectations and is the highest monthly gain on record (3/2/11) .

Technically, I see EURO FX FUTURES in a SUPER TREND higher as the 9 day MOVING AVERAGE has crossed over the 20 day MOVING AVERAGE as the indicators are both pointing higher and the market is trading above them. In my opinion, for this trend to stay higher and for the BREAK OUT to remain intact the market must close above the highs of the previous 3 days. See daily chart below. Additional charts, studies, and commentary can be found athttp://markethead.com/2.0/free_trial.asp?rid=McKinney









OPTIONS PLAY

BUY APRIL CALLS OR CALL SPREADS OR SELL PUTS OR PUT SPREADS

When we buy call spreads we also look to buy a put in a 3 to 1 ratio to help if the market makes a major correction to the downside.

If you put me on his system I would be too slow. I would not make the money he makes. If you put him on my systems he would be a disaster. Thats the point I try to make.

16 yrs full time in my case, I can trade any timeframe comfortably but I dont much like scalping 10/20 pips and I don't see the point of trading higher than daily timeframe swings. The colleague I referred to 3 yrs experience I believe which aint bad at all for identifying his own personal "edge"

well u can always earn if u are smart enough but the real problem is that rookies arent that smart it takes them some time and some money to get to what u are talking about.

So many timeframes we can focus upon trading yet many posts do not even refer to the timeframe traded. I know a forex trader who consistently takes >$1000 out of the market every morning scalping R.1 and R.3 charts. He is done and dusted for the day within 4 hrs and happy with his take. I have watched him trade over a 2 month period and seen his account so no b/s. The timeframe would not suit me but IT SUITS HIM. That is good enough for me. I do not question his sanity :-)

Dave there are only two directions in fx so either u are going long or going short there is no multi directional approach here, i aint talking about methods i am just talking about two directions. So logically only one way is 70 % correct the other is 30 % correct , u may trade watever u want but if u aint following the 705 of the move u will reduce ur chances of winning. I said reduce if u know english a bit .
