RE: CHARTS -T LINE TIPS1 Apr 2016 20:05
I'm starting to get better at the straddle strategy and used it on 2 currencies on the non farm payrolls. EUR/USD AND USD/CAD. Next time I will only use one currency pair as one can only concentrate on one at a time otherwise its too stressful. Both showed profits see below. Just one loss booked of 16k all the rest winners. Took longer than last month's half hour for 120 pips.This month a rather more intense trading period of 4 hours 20 mins for a trip north of approximately 120 pips and a ride back south of 120 pips total 240. Did not grab them all but the majority of them. £142,300 plus £34k from 2 straddle bets on the ftse this morning using £1k and £500 bets equates to £17.6k for £100, £1.76k for £10 and £176 for £1 size bets.
I took screen shots this time to illustrate the trade see below.

Note the £66k losing bet in the first chart taken as part of the original straddle at just before 1.30 p.m is reduced to nil and in fact a profit of £2.5k in the penultimate chart at the end of the trade at approximately 5.49 pm. The final chart illustrates the inverted V shape going north the back south. Last month it was almost a perfect V going south first then north.
