12-10 The March Aussie Dollar is forming a topping formation based upon the current charts.  If this holds we could see the market sell off to low 90’s in the next few weeks.  Buy the March Australian Dollar 96/93 Bear Put spread and sell the March 101 call as a naked leg.  The spread is a credit of $150 before commissions.  The risk on the trade is above 101 where there is the same risk as being short a futures contract from that level.  The profit potential is limited to $3,000 plus the premium credit.
