... for an .83/contract credit. Notes: I seem to be on a double diagonal kick of late ... . Will look to take profit at 20% of the width of the wings/roll the short straddle aspect at 25% max or at 21-25 DTE.
Dear reader, I am no expert (in fact I am a researcher in bioimaging), but from my small experience in trading, there are obvious reasons to think that S&P500 and other market indicators are undergoing a bubble pop. Following my previous raw analyses, I provide this detailed update. Market exponentially increased past years, formed a Head & Shoulder (bearish)...
EFA has broken out of symmetrical triangle well before apex indicating very bullish move. Measuring rule implies potential gain of $56.61 or 89% from breakout. MACD also breaking out of downtrend since 2007.
I didn't have any positions on EFA and With IV Rank at 47, I wanted to sell some premium. We are out of the ideal 45 days expiration window and since my portfolio theta is pretty low right now I decided to do laddered straddles. Selling the 62 Straddle with 32 days to expiration and another one with 60 days to expiration. This will give us an avg date of...
If you have ever spent more than a few hours in the Stocks and Indices chat room, you'll soon get the impression that the trading universe is seemingly made up primarily of E-Mini S&P Futures, SPX CFD's, and/or SPY (I probably exaggerate a touch, but that's the overall impression I get), along with a repeated frustration with the way the S&P is behaving in one way...
One of the other brutalized issues post-Brexit is EFA, which is basically "everyone" besides Canada and the U.S. Here, the point at which I would consider a buy for my covered call portfolio is subject to change, depending on what happens at 51, which is the 50 Fib from the 2009 to the 2014 high. That would not be a bad buy area, but obviously lower is better...
I don't trade news, but this is an event whose outcome I think is now relatively certain (Bremain) such that it might be worthwhile to take a small position to take advantage of the relief rally that will occur if that is the result. Naturally, I could be totally wrong on the result, but the probability of a Bremain vote is currently higher than a Brexit vote, if...
Although I always hate to miss putting on trades in a high volatility environment and generally don't like to exit setups merely because "something is happening," Brexit may be one of those special situations where it is likely that whichever way Brexit goes, the movement may be overly large, whether it takes the form of a relief rally on Bremain, or a...
Hi, EFA ETF dropped in the last trading session. It could continue to go down for a lot of pips. So I would consider a buy opportunity in the dip if this will be possible. I am a trader of profiting.me Thank you Girolamo Aloe
Has been a laggard this year. Several failed breakouts on this trend line in the past. Maybe this time it goes.
This stock index which measures the performance of developed country large and mid-cap stocks, not including US and Canada has taken it on the chin in recent weeks. It's highly levered to European stocks, and therefore has been impacted by the Greece turmoil. However, supportive monetary policy in the eurozone, as well as signs of improving growth make for a...
