Stocks Slammed, Is a Reprieve In Order?E-mini S&P (June) / E-mini NQ (June) S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5104.00, down 63.50 NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 17,876.25, down 303.00 E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures finished sharply lower for the second day in a row as both geopolitics and rising rates act as major headwinds to investors’ risk appetite. We are viewing this pullback as healthy and timely with price action in both testing into the aftermath of NVDA’s February 21st earnings report, which was a pivotal catalyst in the market’s next leg higher. While we do not view the driving narratives (geopolitics and rates) to be stale, we do believe a reprieve in prices is in order? Major three-star resistance in the E-mini S&P comes in at 5127-5131.75, and this is a modest first target upon an attempted rebound, with 5147.25-5153.75 marking a 50% back into the week’s range. To the downside, a failure to hold first key support at 5094 would erode this thesis and encourage another wave of selling. As for the E-mini NQ, the February 21st settlement comes in at 17,767 and stands as a line in the sand that has so far withstood an overnight test, but a break below here would also encourage added selling.

Options Blueprint Series: The Collar Strategy for Risk ReductionIntroduction to Nasdaq Futures Nasdaq Index Futures offer traders exposure to the Nasdaq-100 index, a benchmark for U.S. technology stocks, without directly investing in the index's component stocks. Trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Nasdaq Futures provide a critical tool for managing market exposure on the future of technology and biotech sectors. Key Contract Specifications: Point Value: Each point of the index equates to $20 per contract. Margins: As determined by the CME, margins vary, reflecting the volatility and current market conditions. As of the time of this publication the CME website shows a maintenance margin of $17,700 per contract. Trading Hours: Nearly 24-hour trading capability, aligning with global market hours to provide continuous access for traders. It's important to note that similar strategies and benefits are available with Micro Nasdaq Futures , which are scaled down to a tenth of the standard Nasdaq Futures, making them accessible to a broader range of traders due to their lower margin requirements (Margin is 10 times less, point values are 10 times less, etc.) Basics of the Collar Strategy The Collar strategy is a risk management tool used by traders to protect against large losses in their investments while also capping potential gains. It is particularly useful in volatile markets or when significant price swings are expected but their direction is uncertain. Components of the Collar Strategy: Own the Asset: Typically involves owning the underlying asset, but in the case of futures, it involves holding a long position in the Nasdaq Futures contract. Buy a Protective Put: This put option gives the right to sell your futures contract at a predetermined strike price, serving as insurance against a significant drop in the market. Sell a Covered Call: This call option grants someone else the right to buy your futures contract at a set strike price, generating income that can offset the cost of the put option, but it limits the profit potential if the market rises sharply. This strategy forms a price collar around the current value of the futures contract, protecting against drastic movements in both directions. The use of this strategy in Nasdaq Futures trading can be especially effective given the index's exposure to high-growth, high-volatility sectors. Application to Nasdaq Futures Implementing the Collar strategy with Nasdaq Futures involves selecting the right put and call options to effectively hedge the position. Here's how you can set up this strategy: Choose the Underlying Contract: Decide whether to use standard E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures or Micro mini Nasdaq-100 Futures based on your investment size and risk tolerance. Select the Put Option: Identify a put option with a strike price below the current market price of the Nasdaq Futures. This strike should represent the maximum loss you are willing to accept. The graphics of this article show UFO Support Price Levels below which accepting a larger loss could be seen as a form of hope. Using UFO Support Price Levels as a reference to select the Put strike could be an efficient manner to determine the desired risk. Choose the Call Option: Pick a call option with a strike price above the current market level, where you believe gains will be limited. The premium received from selling this call helps offset the cost of the put, reducing the overall expense of the setup. Selecting a call with its premium equal to the put price would allow for the Collar strategy to be cost-free (not risk-free). Risk Profile Visualization: A graphical representation of the risk profile will show a flat line of loss limited to the downside by the put and capped gains on the upper side by the call. This visualization helps traders understand the potential financial outcomes and their likelihood. Forward-Looking Trade Idea Considering the recent market dynamics, Nasdaq Futures have been experiencing a range-bound pattern after reaching all-time highs. With current geopolitical tensions such as the recent conflict between Iran and Israel, there's a potential for sudden market movements. Scenario Analysis: Continuation of Uptrend: If the market breaks above the range, selling the covered call may yield limited gains but will provide premium income. Significant Drop: If the market drops due to intensified conflicts, the protective put limits the potential loss, safeguarding the investment. That is knowing that if the market was to rebound after a significant drop, the strategy could end up as profitable as long such rebound would happen prior to the Options expiration date. Trade Setup: Entry Point: Current market price of Nasdaq Futures. Put Option: Select a put option below the current market price. The chart example uses the UFO Support Level located around 18,000. Premium paid for the 18,000 Put is estimated to be 511.79 points * $20 ($10,235.8). Call Option: Choose a call option above the current market price targeting the same level of premium as the premium paid for the put. The 18,300 Call is estimated to provide 522.65 points * $20 ($10,453). Expiration: Options with a 1-3 month expiration to balance cost and protection level. This trade example uses June Expiration which is 67 days away from expiration. As seen on the above screenshot, we are using the CME Options Calculator in order to generate fair value prices and Greeks for any options on futures contracts. This setup aims to utilize the Collar strategy to navigate through uncertain times with controlled risk, taking into account both the potential for continuation of the uptrend and a protective mechanism against a sharp decline. Risk Management Discussion Effective risk management is crucial when trading futures and options. The Collar strategy inherently incorporates risk management by design, but understanding and applying additional risk control measures is essential for successful trading. Key Risk Management Techniques: Limited Risk: By default, the Collar strategy is a limited risk strategy where the risk is calculated by looking at the current Nasdaq Futures price compared to the Put strike price and adding or subtracting the Collar execution price for a debit or credit respectively. Use of Stop-Loss Orders: Although the Collar strategy provides a natural hedge, setting stop-loss orders beyond the put option's strike can provide an extra safety net against gap risk and extraordinary market events. Regular Review and Adjustment: As market conditions change, the relevance of the chosen strike prices may alter. Regularly reviewing and adjusting the positions to ensure they still reflect your risk appetite and market outlook is advised. Diversification: While the Collar strategy protects an individual position, diversifying across different asset classes can further protect the portfolio from concentrated risks associated with any single market. Conclusion The Collar strategy offers Nasdaq Futures traders a structured way to manage risk while maintaining the potential for profit. By capping potential losses with a protective put and limiting gains with a covered call, traders can navigate uncertain markets with increased confidence. This strategy is particularly applicable in volatile markets or during periods of geopolitical tension, providing a buffer against significant fluctuations.

Nasdaq Analysis: Assessing Risks and RewardsThe Nasdaq currently exhibits a compelling trajectory within a well-defined pitchfork channel. While this pattern presents enticing opportunities, it is essential to approach investments with caution due to the associated risks. Investors should be aware that the current juncture is particularly precarious, as any correction towards the pitchfork's last support level could result in losses of up to 23% . Despite the potential for attractive rewards (18%), my investment strategy suggests that the risk-to-reward ratio may not be favorable at this point. For those considering short-term trading, Nasdaq does offer opportunities. However, it is crucial to bear in mind the inherent risk associated with this market. Nasdaq's dynamics are influenced by a multitude of algorithms, adding an extra layer of complexity to the trading environment. My investment method : I am not interested in investing in the indicator at theses prices. Congratulations for thoses who bought at 10k-11k.by MonstralianUpdated 3

botThe trading strategy using Fibonacci levels 68 and 50 depends on using these levels as support and resistance levels. Here are the steps: 1. **Determining the trend:** Determine the general direction of the market (bullish or bearish). 2. **Entry into the market:** - Look for opportunities to enter the market when the price approaches the 68 or 50 Fibonacci level. - You may want to wait for additional confirmations such as the formation of a candle pattern or the price breaking the Fibonacci level by a certain percentage. 3. **Place stop loss:** - Place the stop loss close to the level at which you entered the trade. - The breakout of level 68 or 50 can be used as an indicator of trend change and as an indicator to place a stop loss. 4. **Determining the target point:** - Set the target point at the desired profit level, in this case it is 30%. - The reward/risk ratio can be used to determine the target point and stop loss more accurately. 5. **Risk management:** - Use a risk ratio of 5% of capital in each trade. - Do not exceed this percentage, whatever the circumstances. 6. **Deal follow-up:** - Follow up the deal regularly to ensure it is progressing as required. - You may need to adjust your stop loss or target point if market conditions change. Please note that you should always analyze the market carefully and use other technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or moving averages to enhance trading decisions.by ayjaby0
