Bands

Fall down Friday Pick of the day : Vmw Price target 114.63We have topped out our Arbitrage Band, Novice Band and Advance Band. Expecting it to test support on the Arbitrage Band at 114.63 before the next possible/probable move up. Our Arbitrage Advance Level is struggling to stay above the 0 line which means our Arbitrage Band itself is changing direction and slowing turning down. VMW has been rallying since it's first new higher high on July 17th of this year. The first new lower low will confirm the new trend.

High - Low Bollinger Bands These work better than the standard Bollinger Bands for setting extreme ranges. What I use these for is to use an oscillator to find an buy / sell signal then take that to the H L Bollinger bands and mark the spot. Most of the time, you will find that the price does not exceed this spot for the duration (length) of the H L Bollinger bands. This makes them good for doing Credit Spreads such as Put Vertical Spreads and Call Vertical Spreads. Since the price will normally not exceed the bands at the extreme point, the trader can profit from the time decay and other factors.

US Oil Short From Bullish Flag; High Risk:Reward RatioUSO has broken it's uptrend a few weeks back, and since has been heading violently lower with no signs of stopping, at least not yet. Not in my eyes. I had a plethora of converging indications, so I've marked them in the chart A - F, and then explained my trade setup. Good luck. A) RSI has broken above the 35 level, but this is likely because it bounced a bit from being oversold. It remains below 50 which is a bearish indication and still has resistance at the 40 level. B) The cream of the crop. B marks the head of a head and shoulders pattern in USO. You can see when the neckline was broken here, while simultaneously breaking a series of important EMAs, USO began it's slide. We would expect some sort of throw back to this neckline. This will be important in our trade setup later. C) Here is our bearish flag and Andrew's Pitchfork. You can see the slight countertrend movement off the lower bollinger band, and what now looks to be a hanging man. This entire move up is hitting resistance in the pitch fork, as well as the flag formation, and has formed entirely on declining volume. That's not a positive sign for continued upward momentum. D) PSZ (Prior Support Zone) from way back when. I'm expecting a move down into this zone where it will coincide with support at the lower BB or lower median pitchfork line. We may get a bounce down here, or more consolidation. E) Volume Decline Throughout Bear Flag F) Declining & Still Negative MACD The one thing I didn't like here was the RSI, and that the weekly chart shows that we may need a throwback before extended downward momentum. This is where that neckline comes into play. We may very well see a throwback to the 66 area before we are awarded with any serious downside momentum. However the weekly RSI is also in a downtrend, reinforcing our bearish outlook. I'm short a directional diagonal on this play, to take advantage of Theta decay, and let oil slowly drift lower in my favor until we reach that prior support and I debate what the next play will be. More downside, or a retracement? Maybe a renewed uptrend? Who knows?

DAL Long - Consolidating Flag (Bull); Risk:Reward > 10:1The idea here isn't very difficult to understand. DAL has made a run up from $35.51 on August 8th, where we saw a bounce off the 150EMA, a personal favorite area to get long for me, especially looking at the weekly chart for this. Anyways, from the top down: 1) Bullish RSI Holding 60 Support 2) Established Uptrend - Long Term 3) Bounce off 150 EMA 4) Long $4.46 move straight up through all EMA(8/21/50), through resistance, and consolidating above. 5) Broken Downtrend 6)Weekly Uptrend Is Beautiful - Right At EMAs (8/21) (My Screen Is Too Small To Pull Up Both Simultaneously) Cons: 1) MACD Is Positive 2) Momentum Tapering As We Consolidate I like the chart, and like what I see. I'm getting long here. Possibly with a covered call, but maybe something else. Not sure what other plays are available with such low volatility, but the verticals and diagonals are getting old.

BBY Earnings Play; Unbalanced Iron Condor W/ $0 Upside RiskBestBuy has been consolidating since the beginning of July. Earnings are due tomorrow before the opening, and our IV% is at 56%, so I am looking for a play here to collect a credit. Historically looking at BBY we can see usually see a slightly bullish move after earnings (EPS, which is usually beating estimates). Because of this, and being at the top of this range with our other indicators showing bullish momentum as indicated on the chart, I want upside protection, while I expect the range in BBY to continue through expiration this Friday. All that being said, and what is shown on the chart, I am selling for a $0.50-$0.55 credit the 25/29.5/34.5/35 Put/Put/Cal/Call. This means if we break out from here, not only will I likely be putting on another bullish trade to take advantage of the breakout, but I will still have a small (VERY small) profit. That however beats a loss. Ideally, we would like volatility to collapse and BBY to stay between $29.00 and $34.50, but anything above $29.00 would be acceptable.
