This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.

Soft US economic data translated into a soft US dollar. It was interesting to see the soft numbers trump hawkish comments from Williams. It shows that the Fed has successfully shifted the market toward its economic guidance and away from overreacting to every grumble.
The reaction in USD/JPY was straightforward. After the ADP number the pair broke below yesterday's US low of 93.28. The market began to sniff out a soft ISM non-manufacturing number as well. When the weak number was confirmed, 93.00 gave way down to a low of 92.71. Slight bounce in the last 30 minutes, perhaps as intraday shorts are covered ahead of the BOJ decision.
Gold broke the Feb low of $1555 but has rebounded to $1559 so the bulls can take some solace in that. Down below is an all important triple bottom at $1522.
Don't forget to take part in the non-farm payrolls contest.
