Yes folks it's exit poll time!

The various scenarios are many and too many unknowns to plant a scientific seed for precise entry points so I will leave you to look at the minutiae according to preferred tools of trading, but I will outline some basic strategies as I see it/them as the next couple of hours unfold

My key areas to focus on are

1) What the market wants and what the UK wants are two different things

2) Should we see a Conservative favoured result and a relief rally how much of that is already factored in given the vols/options being long GBP based

3) The variables on coalition are, well, variable. And both reader/contributor Lilac and myself will draw attention to the Irish DUP as a potential king maker

Early indications are for the Conservatives taking 316 seats

Lots more to discuss as the next few hours unfold and I'll be helping Eamonn dissect the key results as they come in
