Im really starting to enjoy Brexit, the volatility its creating is opening hundreds of opportunities. I could write a whole thesis on it. In short when the UK triggers article 50, there will be a lot of volatility with the euro so a very simple trade idea is buy xau/eur, simply because gold is used as a safe-haven for when the markets are volatile.
Another trade idea is shorting all euro stocks. I know this sounds crazy, but the UK is a big part contributor to the union. followed by Germany and France. Thats why they are being asked to pay a fee for leaving, because the European union is going to be weaker once the UK, then we may see a FRE-XIT. rates are bound to be negative. The European union have a recession incoming, if they don’t handle this well.
short eur/usd, eur/gbp, duetche bank
buy some xau/eur
I put 10k on the eur/gbp trade on the 12th prior to the parliament vote which brought the position up to 60k (I’m planning on holding onto this position until june) There are too many trade setups happening right now, I just gave you a few trades that have an 90% chance of OVER-PERFORMING. I have 30 other trades in the market all diversified onto different sectors, that will be positively or negatively affected. Im not going to tell you how to trade them, but just pay attention to these sectors over the next six months.
UK expected losers: autos & parts, textiles, apparel, supermarkets, chemicals. UK relative winners will be financial services, electrical machinery, metal products and pharmaceuticals.
EU losing sectors regardless if the WTO is trigger are German/dutch exporters, auto manufacturing component supplies - BMW, Daimler, VW, Lufthansa,
hands down, My best trade idea is a 2020 put ladder on Deutsche bank. if you do enough digging you would find out why I put 30% of my account on this trade, that’s how certain I am. It’s really advanced, but Im expecting a 20x return.
It’s nice that you were intrigued on how to make money 6 months prior to brexit, this is exactly how advanced traders handle their positions. You need to understand that proprietary traders at investment banks have already made their money from brexit. I know there will be a lot of stuff you won’t really understand but the best way to learn is to copy the ways investment banks make money. There are many good courses out there but I've linked my favourite Youtube trading series. It’ll really help you understand the fundamentals of trading as a beginner. you’ll learn so many valuable truths. You don’t want to listen to other retail traders and their strategies, this will just mislead you. You’ll come to realise that everything you need to be successful on the markets is out there on the internet for free, finding is the problem a competent trader must solve. My advice is just to demo all of these trade ideas and go through the video series. once you finish the series, you’ll understand how people make your salary doing nothing.
