Trigger Navigator
Chart Probabilities of Trigger Activations
Using the Probability Map, the Trigger Navigator helps you quickly visualize the likelihoods of specific exchange rate triggers being reached. This tool leverages option implied probabilities to provide a comprehensive view of market expectations.
Key Features
Up Trigger
The Up Trigger feature allows you to see the estimated probability of the exchange rate exceeding your chosen level. By setting a trigger level with the slider, you can explore how likely it is for the exchange rate to surpass this level in the future.
How to Use:
Set the Trigger Level: Use the slider to choose the exchange rate level you are interested in.
Visualize Probabilities: The Trigger Navigator will display the probability of the exchange rate exceeding this level, using data from the Probability Map.
Example:
If you set the trigger level at 1.2000 for a currency pair, the Trigger Navigator will show you the likelihood that the exchange rate will exceed 1.2000 at various future dates.
Down Trigger
The Down Trigger feature allows you to see the estimated probability of the exchange rate falling below your chosen level. Similarly, by setting a trigger level with the slider, you can explore how likely it is for the exchange rate to drop below this level.
How to Use:
Set the Trigger Level: Use the slider to choose the exchange rate level you are interested in.
Visualize Probabilities: The Trigger Navigator will display the probability of the exchange rate falling below this level, using data from the Probability Map.
Example:
If you set the trigger level at 1.1500 for a currency pair, the Trigger Navigator will show you the likelihood that the exchange rate will drop below 1.1500 at various future dates.
Practical Applications
Informed Trading Decisions
By analyzing the probabilities of trigger activations, traders can make more informed decisions about entry and exit points for their trades. Understanding the likelihood of certain price levels being reached can help in planning effective trading strategies.
Risk Management
The Trigger Navigator can also aid in risk management by highlighting potential price movements. By knowing the probabilities of hitting certain triggers, traders can better manage their exposure and adjust their positions accordingly.
The Trigger Navigator is an essential tool for any trader looking to enhance their market analysis with a clear visualization of trigger probabilities. By leveraging the option implied probabilities, you can gain deeper insights into market expectations and make more confident trading decisions.
