Trade Alert - (FXY) - EXPIRATION
CLOSE the Currency Shares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) August, 2016 $97-$100 in-the-money vertical bear put spread at $3.00
Closing Trade
8-22-2016
expiration date: August 19, 2016
Portfolio weighting: 10%
Number of Contracts = 38 contracts
The Japanese yen cooperated nicely with my prediction that it would not blast through to a new multiyear high in 12 trading days.
The selloff we got on the Friday expiration down to $96.50 was just the icing on the cake, giving us room to spare on the $97 strike price. The (FXY) closed at $96.50 on Friday.
This was a bet that the Japanese yen would close below $97.00 on August 19.
As a result, we have been able to cash in on 100% of the maximum profit potential and an 11.11% profit in just 12 trading days.
This close makes six out of seven Trade Alerts in a row that have been profitable for my subscribers.
You have nothing to do here. Your long $100 put should have been automatically exercised by your brokers to cover your short in the $97 put.
Well done, and on to the next trade.
I think the yen is rolling over here, so I am inclined to sell short into the next rally. If you bought YCS, hold onto it as I think the yen has much further to fall.
