I trade it as part of an option strategy. CAD is in transition now, what has worked for the last 2 years is no longer the way to go. Watch out for the trade surplus disappearing, when that happens a major support with be gone. Right now the best way to trade CAD is fading moves in the Asian...

Well if the near month is trading at a premium it suggest that demand is high and it is not worth storing the commodity. This should be bullish. So to take advantage of this you could buy out of the calls on the near month contract and the sell the near month contract and buy the next month...

Well what a prick of a thing, looks like the trend might have changed. I might try to put on a fresh straddle at the open tomorrow, especially if we close over 104.64

Well I just sold my long call, getting just above water overall on my strangle. hopefully we can retest the lows before 1pm today around .37

well i have changed my mind again I have bought back that call I sold earlier, at a price .04 lower. I just doesn't look like we are going to get a down move today. I am looking to scalp the call for .02 before 1pm, but i don't think it will happen.

YT I am right to peg you as a bit of a farm boy too? I am from a dairy farm myself and I like to put my soft hands to work occasionally. Well on the schatz I am looking for a new low this week still. I have sold my long call leaving me with just a long put. I am under water overall but...

Well one night I was talking about long gilts with a banker friend of mine and an old farmer overheard and informed me that a gilt is a bred young female pig, basically the swine equivalent to a bred hiefer. There could be some advantages to trading less crowded debt market like gilt or...

Did anyone else just see Bob Rae on Traders? The quote was priceless "I have no intentions of returning to politics" I think he should have listened to himself.

I would love to hear if anyone is trading spreads against options. I think you could end up with lot of cheap gamma on an up move, that is losing on the spread but having a call increase rapidly in value. Hopefully on a down move the spread could be scalped enough to break even. Alas I have...

Well sorry guys I kind of lied instead of legging when the future started moving away from me I scalped the the june contract long from 104.800 to 104.830. I am now waiting for a move on the march above 104.500 to get long or I will try to buy a call near the low of the day. A move above...

i have got my fill on my long put just looking to get long a call to complete the strangle. hopefully we will see 30 points on the on the schatz either way on the ifo numbers

Well I'm just sitting tight waiting for a new low below 104.400 on the schatz, if I get it I'll put on a straddle. So far today the market feels like it is waiting for something.

Just bought back the put I sold earlier. My Gamma projection was a little off as I thought it would need to go higher to get a fill, although my fill was relatively far from the ask.

Good work on the bund. A few things I have noticed and my or may not hold true anymore A 50/100 EMA crossover and pull back is often a good guide. Just like the GBS/GBM, GBL will usually re-trace the whole 2-3am range after 3am The bund will often "go the wrong way first" and then run...

Just sold my long put, with enough profit to cover the cost of the offsetting long call. Looking to buy a put during a retrace of the 2-3am high, likely the same strike 104.6

Covered at 104.755, looking to re-sell at 104.775. It appears that price has bounce off the 104.750 in the past from both directions. I just got filled at .775. I also think you are more likely to get filled a half ticks, any thoughts? Young trader I hope this is how you want us to use the...

Anyone else notice Adam Cunningham pitching reverse mortgages for Wells Fargo?

Any thoughts on where I should cover? I was thinking a half tick above today's low or 104.705.

Looking to get short schatz at 104.785, as it tends to cover the entire 2-3am range after 3am, against a long call. I took profits on the offsetting put yesterday
