The ACD Method

And this is why all the implied vol was elevated around the first round vs the 2nd round.

 

EUR/USD opens up slightly above 1.10 in the spot market. The 2nd round was completely priced in.

 

Good call on the relative importance of 1st and 2nd rounds Mav. I'm inclined to think the parliamentary elections won't have any implications beyond the CAC. Macron was the status quo candidate, the markets probably don't care how much he can achieve in France as long as the EU/Euro are not affected.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see some sell on the news tomorrow as we are right at the monthly A up in the Euro. I would definitely buy pullbacks in the Euro now.

The best trading vehicle right now is cryptocoins. The volatility is amazing

 

How are you trading it?

 

Just focusing on the secondary coins. ETH/Dash/Monero. Using London open and buying any A Downs for day trades.
