The Euro has clearly gone back into free fall, so I am more than happy to double up my short position in the beleaguered continental currency.
Now that the Euro has decisively broken the $1.20 level in the cash market, I think we have a first class express ticket to make it to $1.17. The two-month consolidation just above this key psychological level inspired the oil price collapse is over.
The long March towards parity with the buck resumes.
After all, a lower oil price means lesser demand for the greenback, about $1.5 trillion a year worth.
You can buy this put spread anywhere within $1.60-$1.75 and have a reasonable expectation of making money on this trade.
If you don?t trade options, then buy the ProShares Ultra Short Euro ETF (EUO) in the next microdip.
Keep in mind that the options market is highly illiquid now, so don?t hold me to these prices. They are ballpark estimates, at best.
The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
If the price of this spread has moved more than 5% by the time you receive this Trade Alert, don?t chase it. Wait for the next one. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:
Buy 63 February, 2015 (FXE) $122 puts at?????$4.80
Sell short 63 February, 2015 (FXE) $120 puts at..??.$3.20
Net Cost:??????????????????.....$1.60
Potential Profit: $2.00 - $1.60 = $0.40
(63 X 100 X $0.40) = $2,520 or 2.52% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio.
