Edge can be dramatically improved by using the Future Indicator "Sector / Index Rating" Being on the right side for active investment was my goal, since I started 5 years ago. Finally, I am here with a better way for choosing the stocks to invest. Further details will be revealed later as updates. - Good Luck.
Interesting Earning this week. AAPL , CMG , COF looks good for iron condor MMM - looks better for bearish side, Too big of a run past earnings.
Megaphone / Mirrored Wedge. As much as i hate SBUX coffee - I am favoring the setup here.
This is an inverse Correlation. A weaker breakout. If this holds off, around the price zone. Be cautious with the US stock market. Nothing scares me from the market internals perspective for a down move. Such correlation is where everything begins. - Caution Zone.
Natural Gas is struggling to lift its head up above water. Makes more volatile. 1. The Short term trend resistance to clear. (until then short this) 2. Retest the Mid trend line (short it on weakness_ Oil gained a bit more strength. Would love to see this gain as well. So Energy market can lift off, pull the retail index down and cause a sector rotation to keep...
If Oil takes a small blip to the downside, the Solar stocks will follow the direction. Time to hunt for position, If it does not break 23 in two days. Will try to salvage for scratch....
Here is a stock from the sector to watch out for. Also Keep an eye on CMI.
AAPL - if symmetry is on its way, Expect the supports to hold and work off a bottom around those levels. After building up a bottom we should have a sharp rally to some levels of symmetry. Keep it for a active investing portfolio, Few months to 1 year holding may be required for this trade to work. Note: I am still way too early on this. Will update the chart,...
NQ is setting up for long as well. Which will win, Not in my hands, wait and watch. Make sure to Navigate the market with caution, Until we find the confirmed direction.
MMO - Showing the first Bullish Sign, After a massive Massacre bloodbath. Don't go long, yet. Find a good price point.
Long and Short mix to manage trade time. One of the critical zone is 20-22. VIX below 20 has been bullish, VIX above 22 has been bearish more than 82% of time. According to my zone analysis, this is transition between zone 2 and 3.
This was not a surprise with the Rating tool. Because we knew the Industrial were the second strongest sector after Utility.
This time on the Weekly Chart.
Reporting earning today. Expected move of $23.

That's approx = $3,000,000. For those who needs a further explanation, This is a non directional bet (either bullish or bearish) for the stock to open...
Oil and Gas stocks this earning has a lot of premium cooked up in the options. 2 x Premium than the expected moves. Some Companies reported positive earnings and guidelines, while others did not. Oil Sectors around earnings are a bit tricky to trade. Some people with 10-15 years won't touch these. If you like to take a dip and have fun like me. Go for it....
First thing you need to understand here would be the underlying of the ETF. Incase of USO, the underlying is "Future Contract On Wti Crude Future (contract)" THIS IS THE SOLELY THE CULPRIT. Why? Most of Futures trader may already know this, Some etf traders may not. Few things to understand here would be 1. Concept of Contango / Backwardation 2. Storage Cost...
Watch for this stock to continue its trend. As long as the price is below $54. Same strategy applied on the CMG/PCLN and HES. Selling Option spread is the top most profitable way to play this.
