This is YUM brand China; I like what they are doing over there, HUGE market. We'll be stuffing them full of YUM products for a long while (hopefully). Good entry and let it ride
I'm still in the 'early stages' of my fade expertise. But I've been practicing them for the better part of 6 months. Been doing more real $ fades as of recently. Let's see what this one does. I do want it to work quickly.
People have frequently mentioned to me that they can't make iron condors work for them, primarily because a single broken setup can undo a long string of profitable trades. This, of course, is a true statement if absolutely nothing is done to attempt to repair these broken trades and get them back to at least scratch or, ideally, into profit. It's all a question...
These earnings plays gone awry usually involve long stories, since it frequently takes a bit of time with rolling, massaging strikes, and such to get the thing into a state where you can exit for at least a scratch. On October 6th, I played earnings via a 2 contract 72/75/90/93 iron condor, for which I received a .94 credit. Price proceeded to breach the short...
Potential bearish swing after earnings. Strong earnings gap. Let's see if YUM rolls over and the EMA's on the hourly / daily push it lower.
My little YUM saga continues and is likely to do so for the next several options cycles, but this is a good lesson on how to manage earnings plays (or any other play for that matter) where a side of your set-up is breached either to mitigate your loss on the setup or turn it into an eventual winner.

Earnings are high risk binary events. Many traders try to time major directional earnings moves by using technical analysis (me included). Although it often works, it sometime can end up with an unpleasant loss. Before $YUM's earnings, I sent to the Elite Zone members a setup suggesting that $YUM could reach 92$ and complete a bearish Bat pattern (potential...
YUM announces earnings on 10/6 after market close, so if you're going to play this via an options setup, look at getting a fill for whatever you put on prior to the 10/6 New York close. Ordinarily, I trade these using a short strangle or iron condor, with the short call/put legs at or around the 1 standard deviation line for the chosen expiry, which will either...
Spread is below a support, below the 200 SMA and there's a nice one white soldier candle shaping up.
Arrr... yum broke its short term uptrend back on its downtrend? Gonna check intraday for good entry
On the weekly chart of yum, along with having the ichimoku cloud on the chart, you can clearly see that candle stick for 6/2/14 closed above 79.70 with the chikou span closing above that price level as well. Senkou span b is rising with the cloud. this gives strong indication for a very strong long trend.
