USOIL - Bracketing A Breakout Opportunity As traders we want to be predictive in our analysis and reactive in our execution. And there is no easier way to follow through with this concept then on a bracketed breakout trading opportunity. Oil has recently been on a short-term bullish run which has ended with price entering a period of consolidation. Consolidation leads to expansion so I do expect a future breakout to occur. The question however is in which direction. If I knew the answer I would bet everything I have including the house and the kids on it but unfortunately I don't. (and my wife would kill me). What I do know, is that there's a good chance that the market will give us a clue of what direction it wants to continue in and that's what I'm waiting for with this trading opportunity.

AAPL and MSFT Reading Charts For Better Entries and ExitsOptions Trading Strategy Using Ichimoku Cloud, 200 SMA & Monthly Contracts (Following Your 3 Trading Rules) This strategy adapts the Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA trend-following method for trading monthly options contracts with a focus on high-probability setups. It leverages time decay (theta), trend strength, and proper timing to maximize gains while reducing risk. 🔹 Strategy Overview We will trade monthly options contracts using: Trend confirmation via Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA Directional bias based on price positioning Entry timing rules to avoid low-probability setups Theta-friendly positioning (avoiding weeklies to reduce time decay risks) 📈 Trading Rules & Setup (My 3 Golden Rules) 🚫 No trading on Mondays → Avoids choppy market structure from weekend gaps. 🚫 No trading on Fridays → Avoids gamma risk and weekend time decay. ⏳ No trades before the first 15-minute candle closes → Ensures market direction is established. 📊 Selecting the Right Option Contract For monthly expiration contracts, select options that: Expire within 30 to 60 days (avoid weekly contracts to minimize rapid time decay). Are slightly in-the-money (ITM) or at-the-money (ATM) for higher delta (0.55–0.70). Have open interest >1,000 and a tight bid-ask spread to ensure liquidity. Example: If today is June 11, trade the July monthly contract (third Friday of the month). 📉 Bearish Put Play (Short Trade) 200 SMA Bias: Price is below the 200 SMA Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation: Price is below the cloud Tenkan-sen is below Kijun-sen (bearish momentum) Chikou Span is below price from 26 candles ago Future cloud is red Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle): Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but rejects it OR price breaks below the cloud after a weak consolidation Enter PUT contract (monthly expiration) Stop Loss & Take Profit: SL: Above Kijun-sen or recent swing high TP: First at the cloud’s lower edge, second at a key support level Exit before Theta decay accelerates (last 14 days before expiry) 📈 Bullish Call Play (Long Trade) 200 SMA Bias: Price is above the 200 SMA Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation: Price is above the cloud Tenkan-sen is above Kijun-sen (bullish momentum) Chikou Span is above price from 26 candles ago Future cloud is green Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle): Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but holds OR price breaks out above the cloud Enter CALL contract (monthly expiration) Stop Loss & Take Profit: SL: Below Kijun-sen or recent swing low TP: First at the cloud’s upper edge, second at a key resistance level 📊 Trade Management & Adjustments Rolling: If trade is profitable near expiry but not at the full target, roll to the next monthly contract. Closing Early: If the trade is at 70-80% max profit, close early to avoid decay risk. Cutting Losses: If price closes inside the Ichimoku Cloud, consider exiting early (trend loss warning). 🛠 Why This Works for Monthly Options? ✅ Avoids time decay risks of weekly options by trading monthly contracts. ✅ Uses strong trend confirmation from Ichimoku & 200 SMA. ✅ Only trades at high-probability times, avoiding choppy Monday & Friday moves. ✅ Allows scaling into strong trends rather than short-term noise.

Learn why the Nasdaq 100 could be about to soarThe Nasdaq 100 is showing an ascending triangle pattern, suggesting a breakout toward 23,100. Trade war concerns with Mexico and Canada have eased, while China has worked around tariffs by shifting production to other countries. A break above 21,962 could push prices up 5.3%, but rising inflation near 2.9% might force the Fed to consider rate hikes.
