Monthly Archives: January 2018

The USDJPY traded to a high of 113.29 on January 5th and then consolidated slightly lower, just below 113.00

On Monday, January 8th, USDJPY made another attempt to surge upwards, I decided to sell the option at 113.30.

A nice trading profit of 82yen!

During the last week and into the first week of January 2018, the US Dollar took a beating from all the majors.

On January 2nd when I opened up my computers and looked at the FX markets, the USDJPY looked yummy.

So I decided to buy a call option with the following details: –

Strike; 112.08

Premium; 40bps

Breakeven; 112.48

Expiry; Friday, January 12th

Let’s see what happens………..
