Still Opex

Today and maybe even into tomorrow we will continue to see the backwash effects of Q3 options expiry.  If you missed our guide to opex and why it matters, check our note and video that we posted Thursday, here.  

Last week we saw a big run-up in the indices Thursday only for it all to sell off again, and more, on Friday.  Today, we expect more volatility as market makers re-hedge their books after the large volume of derivatives expired Friday at the close.  We also have FOMC coming up, so this is likely to be a week when market direction is unclear.  

Now, for our Premium and Pro members only here at Cestrian Market Insight, we walk you through our longer- and shorter-term take on the S&P500, the Nasdaq-100, the Dow Jones and the Russell 2000, Bitcoin and Ether.

As a Premium or Pro member, you can use these daily market notes in support of equity index investing and trading.  

But what if you wanted an equity index strategy prepared already, with alerts as to when Cestrian staff personal accounts were about to place trades within this strategy?

That’s exactly what we do as part of our Cestrian Inner Circle service. Take a look at this note where we explain what we do, how we do it, and how you can use it.
