How to take advantage of the opportunities in this market? Example of work.
To illustrate how to proceed in the example, we are going to use Ibex 35. At IG we were able to trade this market using CFDs, Barriers, Vanilla Options and Turbo24. We are going to choose the latter as an example as it is a product listed on the 24/7 market, allowing us to tailor the leverage of our operations and cover market gaps, with a minimum purchase of Turbo24 (equivalent to up to €0.01 per point).
If the first scenario is confirmed and decided to enter a bullish position, we would buy 100 long Turbo24 (1 euro per point). Let’s imagine that Ibex 35 is trading, for example, at 10,100 points. We could set the exit or knockout level (guaranteed stop) at 9984.6 points. If at that time the price of Turbo24 is 1068 euros, the requested guarantee (reward) will be 106.80 euros (100 Turbo24 x 1068 euros for each Turbo24). The leverage of this operation will be 95 times. Moreover, it has the advantage that if there is an increase in volatility when the market closes, causing us to be knocked out, the operation is not closed.
If the second scenario is confirmed and it was decided to enter a bearish position, we would buy 100 short Turbo24 at the Ibex 35 price of 10,000 points. We could set the knockout level to, for example, 10,157.2 points, with a Turbo24 price of 1,470 euros, the requested guarantee (reward) would be 147.0 euros (100 Turbo24 x 1,470 euros for each Turbo24). The leverage of this operation will be 69 times.maintaining all the benefits described above and protection from negative balance in the event of a bearish market gap.
