Hi,
I am thinking of getting into Forex options but my knowledge of it is very basic. Please someone give me your opinion about the following strategy - thanks.
(a) Buy a deep in the money option (CALL or PUT)
(b) Buy or Sell from the current price in the Spot market so that you take the opposite side of the Option.
(c) The aim is to make 10 -20 pips per trade excluding spread. If the market moves in the direction of the Spot trade, gains from that would outweigh the losses from Options as the the delta in the Option would be less than 1. Therefore the rate of increase in profit from the Spot trade would be more than the losses from the Option trade.
(d) If the market moves in the direction of the option, losses from the Spot trade would equal the gains from the Options trade. So the only loss would be the spread.


All this seems too simple and I have a feeling I might be missing something here. Your thought on this will be much appreciated.

Thanks

What's the downside to your trade idea, can it lose money and under what circumstances?

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that there is an update to the book (coulda, woulda, shoulda) by the same author.

He says in the forward that it clarifies and expands on the original book. The title is "Options Trading: The Hidden Reality" and I found it here - http://www.eurobondonline.com/options.pdf. You can also find it at the site riskdoctor.com, but I couldn't find the free ebook, only the printed version.

Thanks!

Steve

Always nice to read good information about options. I am trading less than one year, still consider myself a beginner.
