Wednesday's Binary Options

Wednesday's binary options trades. The post will be updated throughout the day. Times are New York time.

S&P 500 (Nadex:US500) 2:05 p.m.: Long >2087 for a $64.75 debit with the symbol price at $2,100.65.

I entered immediately after the Federal Open Market Committee monetary policy statement was released. The price movement marked the end of the 2nd wave down according to the Elliott wave count, with the post-statement leap counting as wave 3.

Exit 4:15 p.m. for a $100.00 credit with the index price at $2,100.44.

Results: Shares declined by 0.01% over two hours and 10 minutes, or a -40% annual rate. The binary options produced a 35.3% yield on debit, for a +142,518% annual rate.

Elliott wave analysis tracks patterns in price movements. The principal practitioner of Elliott wave analysis is Robert Prechter at Elliott Wave International. His book, Elliott Wave Principle, is a must-read for people interested in this form of analysis, as is his most recent publication, Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading. 

Several web sites summarize Elliott wave theory, among them, Investopedia, StockCharts and Wikipedia.

See my post "Chart Analysis: Nomenclature" for an explanation of my method for labeling waves on the chart.
