FOMC-NFP-ECB Strangles. Either way it goes


#1

this was by far one of the fastest and most successful strangles I have done. It was the 3/6/2015 Nonfarm Payroll at 8:30am. bought 10 contracts and shorted 10 contracts. this all happened so fast haha, in less than a minute I was out! I always take profits early to be safe.

:cool: This strangle was during the FOMC press conference, and omg when Yellen started speaking, it just took off lol this is why I love Nadex, huge returns. bought 10 contracts at 12.50 and sold back for 44.50! lol where else can you get that kind of return?? lol this was the 3/18/2015 fomc press conference

Here is the FOMC press conference screen shot that I had strangled. my profit could have been higher had I not gotten out so early into Yellen’s speech. I hope you can see it.

This is why I love Nadex, because it really helps out with the retail trader who doesnt have alot of starting capital. After losing on alot of trades, and wanting to almost give up lol, i discovered something called an economic calendar and the Strangle, with those 2 things combined, I managed to raise my account Balance from $700 on 3/05/2015 to its present balance of $1729. my goal is hitting at least 3k. I think I can do it. only 2 of those trades where not strangles, they attribute about $500 of the profit gained, the other was the strangles. Position sizes were only 10contracts at a time. Nadex 4 Life

How do you make money on strangles? To me they’re good “on paper.” In reality, the market doesn’t move far enough to overcome the “losing” side & make extra for profit. The only thing that actually worked for me is NFP. Too bad it’s only once a month.

Strangles are good to use on large expected move events. That is why we recommend Iron Condors for most news releases as listed on the news calendar
