Trading the US Masters

Trading the US Masters

I like the US Masters. This is mainly because it’s the only major played on the same course each year. This means you can collect a ton of stats on how the course plays and form your strategies around that. It gives me a good guide as to when to trade in and out of a position. You can do this on most courses, but because the Masters is at the same location every year it is much more predictable.

We are at the first major of the year. I’m already active in the Masters market trying to establish a position before the first player tees off.

US Masters at the cut

US Masters at the cut

Well that all worked out OK in the end.

Woods threatened to spoil the party, but a bad run starting on the turn saw him slip back in the standings, but he is still favourite. He touched a low of 2.12 before finishing the day at a more realistic 3.85. In and around Woods familiar faces from day one held there out but predictable Garcia fell away.

Lots of contenders still left in the contest and quite a bit could …

2012 Masters day three

2012 Masters day three

That all turned out pretty well in the end.

Woods slump on the second round help move me into a considerable profit. This isn’t because of any position on Woods, more the impact of Woods sliding from short odds to being out of contention; this shortens up the rest of the field. It needed something like this as McIlroy and Westwood are certainly in the frame and Mickelson also shaped up a challenge. That was netted off with some good …

2012 US Masters

2012 US Masters

I’ve been busy tracking the Golf markets since 2004 and the first major of the year is good place to start the Golf trading season proper.

The thing I like about Masters is its on more or less the same course each year, save amendments and pin positions, with the same sort of characteristics and foibles. There is lots of data as to how each hole plays and where the tough and easy parts of the course are. So that …

US Masters

US Masters

Picking a winner in any major golf tournament is a very, very tricky task. There are only a few strokes between the top of the leader-board and being out of contention. Any body who has played golf will know that a few strokes difference is only a hook, slice or shank away.

Anybody who has been on my course recently should know the angle I will be taking on this event. But the great unknown here is how Woods will …
