how does election affect markets?

this may help, generally gridlock is good for markets. It is very likely the republicans will win the house of reps.

gridlock usually is good. but when the country's broke with 10% unemployment its bad. Hard and painful austerity choices must be made and with gridlock it will never happen. The freight train is running 100 mph down the track and the only question going forward is when does it crash

Long AUD/USD as hedge against my put. I also like they are creating a carry trade since they have raised their interest rate.

if u are learning how to hedge, u must understand the fundamental of hedging.

Meaning, u must study how the hedgers hedge physical goods. By doing this, its better to contact hedgers. Otherwise, 99% u will lose

If the funds know how to hedge, 2008 debt crashed would have been avoided. The one who knows how to hedge are the farmers, elevators, meat packers, ranchers, airlines, refinery, etc etc etc

u bought that spy 119 nov put. how much u paid for that

edit: currently the spy 119 put is worth $5000. Assuming u bought $5000 just 1 option which will be your risk. U have 17 days till expiration and the strike price is at the money. U want to use the FX to hedge based on your $5000 option. did u measure the volitily when using fx as a hedge based on the delta factor?
