Hedge

Copper: CUUUSD Another weak Dollar play for next 3/4 days' tradeCopper: CUUUSD Another weak dollar play. Ideal is to buy any dip in Tokyo and rely on dollar weakening ahead of Thursday. Then sell it off the parallels above and go flat (which one depends on your own appetite for risk/reward) and wait to see if the upper parallel can be broken (unlikely on first attempt but you never really know) and if/when it is broken go long again as per comment. Maybe it will happen and maybe it won't. But ask yourself this: would YOU really be wanting to hold USD between now and Thursday if you had the choice? Here's the thing: you do have the choice. You can hedge or you can do nothing.

EURUSD: A good hedge, and a valid tradeI have a powerful signal here, bought breaking yesterday's high today. I had given up on Euro longs, and sold in disgust, which is a strong 'self-contrarian' signal. Whenever it happens, take heed, and act with haste after the market breaks a previous day high or low, since your exit. If you don't take the trade back, you will probably face one of those times when you exit a trade at the bottom, to then see the trade go your way without you...so, why face that irritating feeling? Fade yourself, when we're emotional, we're a reflection of the 'herd'. Fascinating huh? Good luck, Ivan Labrie.

AUDUSD Bearish Cypher Pattern Re-entryJust shorted the AUDUSD @.7660, I've been eyeing the Bearish cypher pattern on the daily for a while and was actually short this pair but ended up stopping out for break even after the Fed's rate decision. Luckily I hedged the position against the USDJPY and made profit on that pair. So here we go again, hedging this position again the USDJPY this time! Fundamentally I believe the dollar will gain some strength, and I believe this is a good set up from a technical standpoint as well. Stops are above HOD (If I'm wrong I don't want to eat into my profits from USDJPY, which I am still short) Targets are at previous structure, although the .382 retracement on the Cypher is also a viable option

PGRE - Potential Upward channel reversal Short trade from $18PGRE is running within an upward channel. If it gets up-to $18 to its upper Channel line, this could be interesting in the short side. As $18 is a major resistance label as well. We think it can reverse from there & can go all the way down to $15 area. * Trade Criteria * Date First Found- February 28, 2017 Pattern/Why- Upward channel reversal & breakout Entry Target Criteria- short between 18.00 and 18.05 Exit Target Criteria- Momentum ($15.20) Stop Loss Criteria- $18.40 Please check back for Trade updates. (Note: Trade update is little delayed here.)

TUP - hedge your longs with Feb 55 putsOn January 13th and 17th, Smart money built up almost 5,000 contracts of new open interest in Tupperware Brands Feb 55 puts. Using Friday Jan 13th's cost of $2.40, break even stands at $52.60 -- basically at the recent support confirmed during the last two weeks of December. These Feb 55 puts include earnings and will profit should earnings disappoint or if recent bullish technicals fail to confirm and the stock price resumes it's downtrend from its Oct 2016 highs. With the stock price recently breaking out of a downtrend and recapturing the 50 day moving average, I am bullish as long as price stays above the 50dma, but watching for a Failed Breakout Reversal to join the Feb 55 puts.

Leveraged Decay: how to calculate itBrexit and currency hedging has thrown up the need for products such as SUP3 however there is danger in holding such leveraged products as SUP3 (3X Long GBP Short EUR). As path dependency of the currency picks up in volatility the arithmetic mean drifts below the geometrical mean. This is most easily realised in the following example of an up and down fluctuation of 10%: 100 +10% = 110 110 - 10% = 99 We have lost 1% due to the path dependency having only moved up and down 10% We can approximate the volatility drag using the following: Volatility Drag = 0.5 * (Leverage) * (Standard Deviation) ^2 This comes from the formula for the geom mean: Geom Mean = Arith Mean - 0.5 * SD^2 It is not precise but allows a proxy to be formed!
