FX option expiries for May 14 New York cut

Thank you for visiting the Forex.Academy FX Options Expiries Section. Each day, where available, we will bring you notable maturities in FX Options of amounts of $100 million-plus, and where these large commutative maturities at specified currency exchange rates often have a magnetic effect on price action, especially in the hours leading to their maturities, which happens daily at 10.00 AM Eastern time. This is because the big institutional players hedge their positions accordingly. Each option expiry should be considered ‘in-play’ if labelled as Hot or Warm, or ‘out of play’ if labelled Cold with regard to the likelihood of price action meeting the strike price at maturity.

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled them as cold, warm or hot.

Therefore, if you see exchange rates labelled as warm or hot, these should be considered In-Play, because we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing at these levels based on technical analysis at the time of writing. However, if we have labelled them as Cold, they should be considered Not In-Play and therefore price action would be unlikely to reach these levels, which are often referred to as Strikes, at the time of the New York cut. Please bear in mind that we have not factored in upcoming economic data releases, or policymaker speeches and that technical analysis may change in the hours leading up to the cut.

We suggest you take the levels and plot them onto your own trading charts and incorporate the information into your own trading methodology in order to use the information to your advantage.

Remember the higher the amount, the larger the gravitational pull towards the exchange rate maturity at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

I spent 20 years as an institutional currency broker, working at some of the best broking houses in the world and traded in Cash, Bonds, and Forward Rate Agreements.

In the early 1990's I moved into Spot FX and FX Forwards. I regularly closed deals of $25 million and sometimes up to $1 billion per ticket. Since then I act as an analyst, and commentator and have devised my own Forex educational course.

I also act as an advisor and educator for HNWI, financial institutions in the USA and want to make Forex trading available for new retail traders and seasoned professionals alike.
