【Trading Tips for Today】
Check the market from before 7 a.m.
The Dow Jones collapsed, filled the gap after the French presidential election.
USD/JPY also fell sharply, dropping below 111 yen.
Nikkei 225 CFDs also fell similarly, but relatively stronger than USD/JPY.
Although not bottomed out, expect a range-bound movement around a pivot during Tokyo trading hours.
Use a strategy of buying range options around ±500–550 based on the NY Dow's decline as a reference.
Later, just before the market open I started looking at the chart, and Nikkei 225 CFDs were about 100 points higher than at 7:00, so adjusted the target to around ±400.
Right after the opening, there wasn't much of a drop, and option rates were slightly higher.
Although I knew it wasn't a very good timing, I ended up narrowing the range to ±370 and purchased options.
After that I went out and left it in idle mode.
The low price compared to the previous day was -356.15 yen. It was a result close to a lucky win, but also indicates the trading strategy was correct.
