My Trade Ideas....

Recommended Posts

Popped up with this stock:

 

JADE

 

Has an incredible surge in volume yesterday as price broke a 2 month downtrend line.

I'll watch this one. IV is pretty cheap compared to it's historical...I don't usually compare the 2, but the IV on this stock's options is trading about 140% in the OCTs. Historical vol is at 180%, so still cheap to the historical. Highest IV was at a touch over 200% about 3 weeks ago, so came off a decent clip from there, and is moving up as of yesterday.

Had to bite. Looked really nice on the 15min coming down into the 8ema and went long the NOV 5 calls. IV was "cheap" compared to where it had been and it's breaking to higher highs now, so all is good. Was filled at 2.05 ($205 per contract) and currently has a natural of 2.25 for a gain so far of almost 10% on cap invested.

Well, today was going awesome until the markets just TANKED and took some of my profits with it. I still ended up making a teeny bit of shake on the day...maybe 20 bucks, but so goes the swing trading world I guess. Nothing really technical changed for me, so till tomorrow....

Tin, you may have already discussed this, but would you say fundamentals have anything to do with your analysis? I don't think fundamentals would really have importance on a swing basis, but I figured I'd ask if you have looked into it......I have my 401K with Fidelity and they give you access to tons of research for free, which includes the S&P credit ratings, etc which would seem very handy in determining position trades...(I work in lending so credit ratings have a special place in my heart lol).

To the point of just not wanting to own a crap company...that's really it. I may run a scan on EPS or PE stuff but that stuff doesn't make sense to me, really. It's easier to see what the players are doing in the chart rather than try and interpret the fundamentals into the equation. Why do you ask? Is ClearChannel a crappy company?

Take a look on NOC Bull Ratio Spread opportunity.

 

Low volatility, high probability for sharp up move and possibility to get 3:1 ratio with no up front cost, unlimited profit.

 

Here is a scenario:

 

V:19

 

Sell: -1 Nov-07 75.00 Call / Bid 5.10 - Ask 5.35 / x 1

Buy: +3 Nov-07 80.00 Call / Bid 1.60 - Ask 1.75/ x 3

 

 

Upside Maximum Profit: Unlimited

No loss occurs if the underlying stock falls drastically instead of rises

Max loss if NOC closes exactly at the strike price of Long call - $80. 75 Call covers the entire price of the long Call options and max loss is a difference between strikes: $500

Gained a little today. Also put on a new trade on SIMO. Sold a call spread NOV25/20 for max return of 37% on invested cap. Looking for this to keep headed down at least to 18.20ish and possibly to test the lows at 16.80ish.

Definitely noticed that and definitely keeping a keen eye on it. My stop is above the 24 dollar mark and we've got a month to go yet on this spread. We'll see how it all turns out.

Well, decided to close out some of my positions this morning just to mitigate some risk while I had some profits.

 

BHI - I bought a call spread to minimize my risk on that trade but participate a bit in the up move. Initial cost was 98 dollars per contract and I sold it this morning for 177 per contract, or 55% on invested capital.

 

GDX: I bought some calls outright since premium was cheap enough for $155 per contract and sold this morning...a little late...for 227 per contract or 68% on invested capital.

 

I bought a few shares of GLD the other day and sold them this morning. I don't really like buying shares outright, rather play options. Didn't make much on that position. I had bought them for 73.53 and cleared them out for 74.77 for a 1.7% gain. Cute, huh?

 

So anyways, I've got one other position going right now on SIMO, I sold a call spread 3 days ago (20/25 for 1.82 credit) and am currently down a tiny bit on it (15 bucks per contract about...). The IV expanded all to the heck on this one, too. When I sold the spread IV was pushing around 55 and now its 63. In 3 days...crazy.

 

So, that's all for my ideas right now. VIX is moving like gangbusters up over 12% today.

Also sold a put spread on SPY and QQQQ into the close today.

 

Sold 150/149 Put Spread for credit of 22 cents. Be a 21% ROI after commissions. I sold on the higher volume hammer happening at support of lows of the day:

Sold 52/51 Put Spread on the Qs for a 26 cent credit. 27% ROI there.

Sold this on the hammer at the bottom of a triangle forming. Really nice pattern there.

 

qs_bullput-20071016-170521.jpg

 

If the opening futures action is any indication of tomorrows action....things will be good for these. Granted, they're NOV spreads and I sitll have a ways to go on them, but if I end up seeing 18-20% return on them I'll consider buying them back.

Tin,

What a GORGEOUS looking stock for the candlestick trader. Wow, this is nice. This would be one for the watch list for me, that's for sure. Just look at those levels being respected and producing great candle signals.

 

Could get a possible long here if we get a nice hammer or something at this new support/old resistance.

 

Great find!

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
