I decided not to exit the call option on Friday thinking that it would go higher, but by the time I came back from a late dinner, USDJPY had come back down from 113.70 to about 113.30.
I decided to place a take profit level at 114.00 just in case it bounced back up on Monday morning during Aussie early session.
When I woke up this morning to cook breakfast for my wife, I didn’t pay any attention to the FX rates, but later on, I received an sms from Goldman Sachs informing me that my take profit level was hit at 114.00, in fact, the high was 114.13.
The call option was sold at 114.00 and the resulting trading profit was 0.95yen……not bad!
Now, I still have another outstanding USDJPY call option, however, I have time till mid March.
