The Benefits <strong>of</strong><br />

Trading Forex<br />

■ By<br />

Huzefa Hamid<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> last decade,<br />

<strong>for</strong>ex (or spot currency)<br />

has seen an explosion<br />

<strong>of</strong> interest from traders<br />

combined with a similar<br />

explosion <strong>of</strong> services from<br />

brokers to education providers. Even<br />

though retail <strong>for</strong>ex is very new compared<br />

to equities and commodities, it has fast<br />

become a mainstream <strong>of</strong> retail <strong>trading</strong>.<br />

Previously, <strong>for</strong>ex <strong>trading</strong> was only<br />

available to banks and some high-ne<strong>two</strong>rth<br />

individuals.<br />

All this should come as no surprise:<br />

Forex is <strong>the</strong> largest single market; it<br />

surpasses <strong>the</strong> size and volume <strong>of</strong> all<br />

<strong>the</strong> global equity <strong>markets</strong> combined.<br />

So when brokers started <strong>of</strong>fering retail<br />

<strong>for</strong>ex, <strong>the</strong> uptake was always going to<br />

be quick.<br />

Today, traders simply can’t af<strong>for</strong>d to<br />

ignore <strong>for</strong>ex. The costs <strong>of</strong> <strong>trading</strong><br />

<strong>for</strong>ex, e.g. commissions and spreads,<br />

are minimal. And unlike stocks and<br />

futures, leverage and order size can be<br />

controlled so even <strong>the</strong> smallest accounts<br />

can be used <strong>for</strong> short-term day<strong>trading</strong><br />

and long-<strong>trading</strong> positions. How many<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r instruments allow you to start <strong>of</strong>f<br />

<strong>trading</strong> just as efficiently from a $200<br />

account to a $1m account and beyond?<br />

The flexibility doesn’t end <strong>the</strong>re. Forex,<br />

by its very nature, is international,<br />

meaning you can trade it round <strong>the</strong><br />

clock. Few <strong>of</strong> us come into <strong>trading</strong><br />

without work or o<strong>the</strong>r commitments in<br />

our schedules, and <strong>for</strong>ex is ideally suited<br />

if this is your case. For example, if you<br />

live on Eastern Time and have a regular<br />

day job, US equities are inaccessible.<br />

However, Asian currencies such as<br />

<strong>the</strong> Japanese yen are very active from<br />

7pm ET. Many traders love to trade <strong>the</strong><br />

yen during this time. Of course, o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

currencies are tradable at this time<br />

though some move less in <strong>the</strong> evenings.<br />

How complex is <strong>for</strong>ex <strong>trading</strong> to enter?<br />

Forex, <strong>of</strong> course, has its own lingo but<br />

has many similarities to regular equities<br />

and commodities.<br />

Volume, Smart Money, and <strong>the</strong> Forex Market<br />

All traders know<br />

that volume is<br />

necessary to<br />

provide liquidity to any market and<br />

to allow its price to move from one<br />

level to ano<strong>the</strong>r. Without volume<br />

in <strong>markets</strong>, <strong>the</strong> market itself would<br />

not exist. However, most traders<br />

overlook volume<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>ex market<br />

because <strong>the</strong>y don’t<br />

believe it can be<br />

used accurately, <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>two</strong> reasons. First,<br />

because <strong>the</strong>re’s no<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial <strong>for</strong>ex volume<br />

without a centralized<br />

exchange, and<br />

second, because<br />

brokers provide “tick volume” on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir charts ra<strong>the</strong>r than actual<br />

volume traded. Volume is required<br />

to move a market, but it’s a<br />

particular type <strong>of</strong> volume that<br />

really matters: institutional <strong>money</strong>,<br />

or “smart <strong>money</strong>,” which is large<br />

amounts <strong>of</strong> <strong>money</strong> being traded<br />

in a similar way, thus affecting <strong>the</strong><br />

market greatly. Volume only shows<br />

when price is being affected by<br />

this type <strong>of</strong> activity. Knowing how<br />

<strong>the</strong>y operate, we are able to track<br />

<strong>the</strong>m and trade along with <strong>the</strong>m,<br />

swimming along with <strong>the</strong> proverbial<br />

sharks ra<strong>the</strong>r than being <strong>the</strong>ir next<br />

meal. Institutional <strong>money</strong> doesn’t<br />

simply enter <strong>the</strong> market<br />

like <strong>the</strong> funds <strong>of</strong> individual<br />

traders do; institutions<br />

position <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

well be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong>y move<br />

and <strong>of</strong>ten well be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

news announcements.<br />

In this presentation,<br />

Huzeta Hamid is going<br />

to discuss tick volume<br />

in <strong>for</strong>ex and why it can<br />

be used as a proxy <strong>for</strong> actual<br />

volume. He will <strong>the</strong>n look at some<br />

set-ups using volume and price to<br />

identify institutional participation in<br />

<strong>the</strong> market and entries and exits<br />

to capitalize on that in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

These set-ups yield over 75% win<br />

rates with very few consecutive<br />

losses.<br />

One Traders Journey<br />

■ By Derek Frey<br />

Stopped out again! That<br />

was number 13 in a row<br />

and I thought 13 was my<br />

lucky number! It was <strong>the</strong><br />

last straw. I was right to<br />

think I hated <strong>trading</strong>. I<br />

couldn’t see how I’d be<br />

able to go on in this business <strong>for</strong> one<br />

more day. I wanted to pick up my laptop<br />

and smash it into <strong>the</strong> ground. Still, I was<br />

determined to succeed and just refused<br />

to quit, so again, I decided to give it one<br />

more try. I knew <strong>the</strong>re were at least a<br />

few successful traders out <strong>the</strong>re and I<br />

was determined to find, or make, a way<br />

to become one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

I started reading everything I could get<br />

my hands on about <strong>trading</strong> success<br />

written by those who’d actually<br />

achieved it. I spent four years only<br />

reading books about <strong>trading</strong> written<br />

prior to 1900. It really rein<strong>for</strong>ced <strong>the</strong><br />

“nothing new under <strong>the</strong> sun” idea. After<br />

a while I began to realize <strong>the</strong>re were<br />

many commonalities between traders.<br />

Article<br />

Many things were “common knowledge”<br />

but still seemingly hidden in plain sight.<br />

The commonalities were not so much<br />

in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y traded, not at all. In<br />

fact, every single one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m used a<br />

different <strong>trading</strong> system from <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

but what <strong>the</strong>y did share in common<br />

was <strong>the</strong>ir overall view <strong>of</strong> what a market<br />

is and what is possible within it. They<br />

began to treat it as a set <strong>of</strong> probabilities<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r than possibilities. That was<br />

part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> epiphany <strong>for</strong> me. Most new<br />

traders, myself included at <strong>the</strong> time,<br />

looked at <strong>the</strong> <strong>markets</strong> with eyes <strong>of</strong><br />

wonder and hope.<br />

Three Ways to<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>it With<br />

Covered Calls<br />

■ By<br />

Mike Scanlin<br />

Covered calls are one <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> most conservative,<br />

most popular, and<br />

consistent option-based<br />

income-oriented <strong>strategies</strong><br />

around. They can be used<br />

to generate additional yield on a portfolio<br />

<strong>of</strong> equity holdings, as an alternative<br />

to low-yielding cash or bonds, or <strong>for</strong><br />

aggressive account growth through more<br />

active management.<br />

Additional Yield<br />

A typical conservative portfolio contains<br />

a diversified collection <strong>of</strong> large cap,<br />

dividend paying, blue-chip companies.<br />

The dividend yield is probably 3-4%,<br />

and you have a chance <strong>for</strong> some capital<br />

appreciation. What many investors don’t<br />

realize is that by writing out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>money</strong><br />

call options against <strong>the</strong>ir portfolio, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

can lower portfolio volatility and increase<br />

overall returns—without taking any<br />

additional equity risk.<br />

For example, AT&T (T) pays a nice 5.4%<br />

annual dividend. But you can do better.<br />

By writing a covered call that is 5%<br />

out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>money</strong> with 2-3 months until<br />

expiration you can earn an additional 4%<br />

a year in call premium income. You leave<br />

yourself some upside potential (max<br />

gain <strong>of</strong> 5% in 2-3 months) while earning<br />

a combined annualized yield over 9%<br />

(dividend + call premium).<br />

Contrary Opinion in Currency Options<br />

In this session, Larry McMillan will discuss ways<br />

ratios and option implied volatility, as guides to<br />

<strong>trading</strong> currencies. In general, <strong>the</strong>se are contrary<br />

indicators. When “too many” traders are buying<br />

calls, it’s time to go short <strong>the</strong> underlying (or vice<br />

Iron Condors: Everything<br />

You Need To Know<br />

■ By Steve Smith<br />

Options traders <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

want to make bets on<br />

volatility. However, doing<br />

so can entail taking on<br />

inordinate downside risk.<br />

To limit this downside risk,<br />

we can use combinations<br />

<strong>of</strong> spreads, <strong>the</strong> most common <strong>of</strong> which<br />

is <strong>the</strong> iron condor.<br />

While iron condors can be bought or<br />

sold, <strong>the</strong>y are typically sold <strong>for</strong> a credit<br />

to take advantage <strong>of</strong> a stock or index<br />

that is in a <strong>trading</strong> range. They benefit<br />

from both time decay and a decline in<br />

implied volatility. Selling an iron condor<br />

is a bet that <strong>the</strong> underlying shares will<br />

remain in a limited range and have<br />

an accompanying low or decrease in<br />

volatility. If you were to buy an iron<br />

condor, you are banking on a break<br />

outside <strong>the</strong> range that is defined by <strong>the</strong><br />

condor’s outer strikes, or “wings.”<br />

Be<strong>for</strong>e jumping fully into iron condors,<br />

let’s do a quick overview <strong>of</strong> put/<br />

call combinations. A straddle is <strong>the</strong><br />

simultaneous purchase or sale <strong>of</strong> a put<br />

and a call that have <strong>the</strong> same strike<br />

and same expiration. For example: On<br />

Friday, with <strong>the</strong> Spyder Trust (SPY)<br />

<strong>trading</strong> at $140.50, one could construct<br />

a long at-<strong>the</strong>-<strong>money</strong> straddle by buying:<br />

The April $140 call <strong>for</strong> $1.40<br />

The April $140 put <strong>for</strong> $0.70<br />

In buying this straddle <strong>for</strong> $2.10 ($1.40<br />

+ 0.70), you are betting that <strong>the</strong> SPY<br />

Meet Face<br />

to Face<br />

Article<br />

will finish below $137.90, or above<br />

$142.10 at expiration. Note that both <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se numbers are $2.10—or <strong>the</strong> cost<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> straddle—away from <strong>the</strong> $140<br />

strike price. In o<strong>the</strong>r words, <strong>the</strong> stock<br />

has to make a move greater than $2.10<br />

in order to <strong>of</strong>fset <strong>the</strong> purchase <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

options.<br />

A straddle is an uncovered position,<br />

meaning if you are long both puts and<br />

calls, your potential pr<strong>of</strong>it is <strong>the</strong>oretically<br />

unlimited should <strong>the</strong> underlying stock<br />

make a dramatic move. Conversely, if<br />

you sell a straddle, <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>it is limited<br />

to <strong>the</strong> premium collected, while <strong>the</strong><br />

potential loss is unlimited.<br />

Let’s reverse <strong>the</strong> example above, and<br />

assume we sold <strong>the</strong> April $140 call <strong>for</strong><br />

$1.40 and sold <strong>the</strong> April $140 put <strong>for</strong><br />

$0.70. In this case, <strong>the</strong> maximum pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

would be <strong>the</strong> $2.10 credit received <strong>for</strong><br />

selling <strong>the</strong> options, assuming <strong>the</strong> stock<br />

is <strong>trading</strong> above $137.90 or below<br />

$142.10 below expiration. So, on <strong>the</strong><br />

short side <strong>of</strong> a straddle, we want <strong>the</strong><br />

stock to make a move less than $2.10.<br />

<strong>the</strong> confines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>trading</strong> range. This can be seen via <strong>the</strong> Standard<br />

and Poor’s 500 Index (SPX). After SPX broke down through 1390 over<br />

a week ago, it had one swift move downward, but since <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> market<br />

has swung back and <strong>for</strong>th on an almost daily basis. Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se moves<br />

occur without seemingly much logic behind <strong>the</strong>m. In fact, <strong>the</strong> CBOE’s<br />

Volatility Index (VIX) might <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> best clues as to how to view market direction.<br />

Volatility indices (VIX and VXO) have not responded with roaring enthusiasm to recent<br />

rally attempts nor to sell<strong>of</strong>fs ei<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>for</strong> that matter. $VIX has been hovering within <strong>the</strong><br />

17-21 <strong>trading</strong> range in recent weeks. As long as VIX is in this range, I would expect <strong>the</strong><br />

market to be quite volatile, but probably without much definitive direction. A breakout<br />

over 21 by $VIX, however, would be quite bearish <strong>for</strong> stocks. Conversely, a break down<br />

below 17 by $VIX would be bullish <strong>for</strong> stocks. This is <strong>the</strong> guideline that I was referring to<br />

when I said earlier that VIX might a good guideline <strong>for</strong> market direction. In o<strong>the</strong>r words,<br />

despite <strong>the</strong> market’s volatile one-day moves, if VIX is still within <strong>the</strong> 17-21<br />

range, I wouldn’t chase those moves.<br />

Advanced Calendar Spreads<br />

■ By Dan Passarelli<br />

Calendar spreads <strong>of</strong>fer traders a<br />

way to generate income with <strong>the</strong><br />

functionality <strong>of</strong> short options while<br />

providing some protection against<br />

directional movement. This is a<br />

function <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> disparity in which<br />

options <strong>of</strong> different time horizons<br />

decay. Options with less time until expiration lose<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir value at a faster rate than <strong>the</strong>ir longer-term<br />

counterparts. But calendar spreads also provide<br />

a way to speculate on perceived implied volatility<br />

disparities.<br />

Calendar Spreads and Implied Volatility<br />

Traders with a competency <strong>of</strong> options education<br />

may sometimes trade a calendar spread to pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

from disparities in <strong>the</strong> volatility levels between<br />

different contract<br />

months. For<br />

example, if <strong>the</strong><br />

June is <strong>trading</strong><br />

at a 28% implied<br />

volatility and <strong>the</strong><br />

September is<br />

<strong>trading</strong> at a 22%<br />

implied volatility,<br />

a trader may<br />

be able to pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

from buying <strong>the</strong><br />

month with <strong>the</strong><br />

lower volatility and<br />

selling <strong>the</strong> month<br />

with <strong>the</strong> higher<br />

volatility. The goal<br />

is to watch <strong>the</strong> <strong>two</strong><br />

months’ volatilities<br />

converge. There<br />

are times when<br />

this strategy can<br />

be used very<br />

In 1978, Robert Prechter’s first book, Elliott Wave Principle,<br />

<strong>for</strong>ecast a 1920s-style stock market boom. His 2002 title, Conquer <strong>the</strong> Crash,<br />

predicted <strong>the</strong> current debt crisis. Mr. Prechter proposed a new approach to<br />

social science in Socionomics—<strong>the</strong> Science <strong>of</strong> History and Social Prediction<br />

(1999-2003). In 2007, The Journal <strong>of</strong> Behavioral Finance published his paper on<br />

financial <strong>the</strong>ory titled “The Financial/Economic Dichotomy.” His latest paper is<br />

effectively; but <strong>the</strong>re’s no guarantee. There are a<br />

few important concepts to consider be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>trading</strong><br />

volatility time spreads.<br />

Implied Volatility<br />

Implied volatility is <strong>the</strong> volatility component <strong>of</strong><br />

an option’s price. In general, implied volatility is<br />

<strong>the</strong> market’s perception <strong>of</strong> future volatility in <strong>the</strong><br />

underlying security. When <strong>the</strong> future volatility <strong>of</strong><br />

a stock is expected to be high, traders tend to<br />

buy options to hedge <strong>the</strong>ir positions or speculate<br />

on price swings. This increased demand drives<br />

option prices higher. When future volatility is<br />

expected to be low, traders tend to sell options,<br />

<strong>for</strong>cing prices lower.<br />

Trading Implied Volatility with Calendar<br />

Spreads<br />

If, <strong>for</strong> example, <strong>the</strong> implied volatility <strong>of</strong> shortterm<br />

month options on a particular stock are<br />

significantly higher than <strong>the</strong> long-term month’s<br />

implied volatility, <strong>the</strong>re may be an opportunity to<br />

buy a calendar spread. The trader can sell <strong>the</strong><br />

more expensive, short-term option and buy <strong>the</strong><br />

cheaper long-term option. This is <strong>the</strong> classic buylow-sell-high<br />

strategy just simply implemented at<br />

<strong>the</strong> same time, as part <strong>of</strong> a single trade. When all<br />

goes as planned, this trade can have pr<strong>of</strong>itable<br />

results as <strong>the</strong> volatility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>two</strong> months<br />

converge.<br />

It’s no secret that bank traders move <strong>the</strong> <strong>markets</strong>. And in order to beat <strong>the</strong>m<br />

at <strong>the</strong>ir own game, you need to be able to think like <strong>the</strong>y do—as well as have<br />

a thorough understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tools and <strong>strategies</strong> <strong>the</strong>y use. Once you can<br />

anticipate <strong>the</strong> key levels <strong>the</strong>y are watching, you will be equipped to<br />

<strong>the</strong> 5% who win consistently do differently.<br />

Learn how to feel confidence instead <strong>of</strong> fear when you look at charts, how to<br />

achieve consistent results, avoid common <strong>trading</strong> mistakes, and stay in your<br />

trades longer to realize <strong>the</strong>ir full potential. Regardless <strong>of</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>markets</strong> are<br />
