If you are worried about any negative reaction to indices and gold from the lack of progress in US-Iran negitiations and would like to hedge. One way I'm doing it is via the following: Short US100/Nasdaq, Short Gold and Short USDJPY. If negotiations fail, the rise in USDJPY will be offset by the decline in indices and a pullback in gold. But these pullbacks are likely to be brief. If on the other hand, Trump announces an extension in the deadline i.e. a positive development, then the rise in gold and indices will hurt your positioning, but USDPY will help your portfolio. This scenario's profitability, will obviously depend on the extend and SIZE SIZE SIZE of your trades in gold and indices. More precise levels positioning is shared with members of the WhatsApp Bdcst Group. Good luck and watch your SIZE !
