What instruments do you trade, and why?

Options are super, if you have good ability to predict movement -- you can make a bundle fast
Specially with the shorter term, closer to expiration one's -- those are more volatile.

 

What do you mean by instruments? Currencies/futures/options or currency pairs? Or maybe some indicators in a trading platform? People write so differently, I can't get it, LOL

 

Instruments generally refer to what you are trading.

 

Thanks, man!
So, if I trade of Forex, I trade GBPJPY, USDNZD and USDCAD instruments, am I right?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm pretty new to this market, that's why many words seem slang to me

 

Instruments like that, yes ... and/or EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.

 

So, what about Forex speaks to your system or preferences better?

 

While I agree most is garbage, so much of what handle posts is so grandiose and unbelievable that only a fool would buy in.

 

I tend to not take absolute positions. They make one come across as arrogant and inflexible.

 

I mostly trade USD/JPY and USD/CAD. Occasionally I trade Gold and Silver too.

 

I used to be an options market maker: in this case I'd like to take an absolute position since it's so obviously clear ...
