Every full-time trader knows that rule number 1 in this business isn't to make money; rule number 1 is: don't lose money. Hence, any successful, long term trading strategy must inherently focus on managing risk. I know that lately the word risk carries next to no meaning, and that's because the more risk you take, the more you're rewarded, while those who manage...
This is a video that describes, at a high level, a strategy I recently implemented and automated. It generates very impressive back testing results ans has proven to be very successful in the last 9 days of actual live trading so far... Enjoy and let me know your comments.
Steps: 1) Fit a SuperTrend indicator (By KivancOzbilgic) on a daily chart 2) Fit another SuperTrend on a smaller timeframe ( when 1 and 2 are green then Bullish, 1 & 2 are red then bearish) 3) Use the TTM Squeeze indicator (By Greeny) to determine entry and exit points 4) Adjust the level of fluctuation you are willing to live with by setting a cap on the ATR...
Skew. It can be a pain in the butt if you want to trade both delta neutral and probability neutral. In QQQ, a delta neutral setup at the moment would be: selling a spread on the put side with the short put leg at the 275 (17 delta) and on the call side with the short call leg at the 344 (17 delta). However, this results in a short put strike 38 strikes away...
I just wanted to share some tricks I learned using some basic TA tools in trading view. I marked up the NASDAQ with some examples. Please note that hind sight is 20/20 and using these tools in real time is much harder. First, I think the Regression Trend tool is underutilized by traders. It is a very powerful tool for automatically generating trading channels....

🐮🖥️🐮 Apple and Microsoft are giants of tech and some of the largest holdings of the major indexes. If these companies run, not to mention the other tech giants like Facebook and Alphabet, then the markets will almost certainly run with them. Just look at the top 5 holdings of the S&P : Microsoft Corporation 5.68% Apple Inc. 5.60% Amazon.com, Inc. 4.26% ...
First, I just wanted to say the Baby Boomer generation endured many hardships and I am beyond grateful for their sacrifices, especially since I'm a child of a Vietnam Vet who battled PTSD until his last days. I'm dedicating this post to them. Even as a GEN-Xer, I too have a hard time understanding the millennial generation and their interests, but I think it's...
I've been trading for 20+ years and I believe I have almost seen it all. I've had big winning trades, and huge losses. Some of my biggest wins came when I was a beginner aka fomo trader, and my biggest losses came when I become more knowledgeable of the market. My most consistent trading came in my latter years when I gained experience and felt real pain, and I...
Here is a chart of the put to call ratio when compared with NASDAQ's ETF, QQQ. When the line is at the bottom of the PC chart, that means market participants are net short. When at the top, they are net long. I'm sure we've all heard the saying that market makers usually take the other side of the trade. This chart shows that this is a true. When stocks are...

The price action we've seen since October looks a lot like the tech bubble of Y2K. The combination of mean aversion and valuation levels like this have only occurred two times in the past(1929,2000). Corporate buy backs and excess leverage(everywhere) where also traits of these historical crashes. Using the first tech bubble as a model, I've projected what...
As all can see that 10 yr yield broke out of the long term trend line, and it has completed the double top. My hunch is it will come back to retest the trendline around 2%. That is the flight to safety. We can see that in 2008 what happened when 10 yr yield sharply dropped, equities dropped more than 30% in a short period of time. All in all, short bond is a...

Each time there is a panic selloff and recovery, the buyers who stepped up to the plate and accumulated shares at a discount show that they are in control of the market. What happens when VIX or VXN spikes when the market falls? Well, sellers of options demand higher prices to compensate for higher risk or higher costs of taking a trade. Also, buyers of options...
