IWM

RTY UpdateCryptos and small caps pulled back, Europe and China were red this morning. ES and NQ are still overbought though with no pullback. Could very well be a melt up, still short on shitcoin through BITO puts. Nothing else, don't feel much like trading this week. Made decent money last week despite closing early on Friday, seems every time I make money I give it back to the market, lol. Might be easier to wait until MFI indicator goes oversold again and snag the next pump. Bearish on crypto because it looks like Asia and Europe are throwing in the towel, garbage trades 24 hours and the Asians own a lot of crypto. 3hr indicators are oversold though, not sure I'd recommend opening a new short position.

Bearish BAMM on the 3x Bearish Return IWM Bearish ETFThe 3x Bearish Return ETF for the IWM is currently showing Hidden Bearish Divergence on the weekly at the 55-week EMA, and it looks like if this Hidden Bearish Divergence plays out we will see the ETF fall below the B point and begin to accelerate its Bearish Wave Structure which would complete between the 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extensions. This would mean that the IWM (The Russel 2000) itself would be rising. As a result of what I see here on the chart, I may consider buying puts on this ETF, Buying IWM Calls, or just overall getting more exposure to small caps and just taking this as an overall Macro Bullish Indicator.

Opening (Margin): IWM May 19th/July 21st Double Diagonal... for a 56.60 debit. Comments: Since my previous double diagonal in IWM was such a hoot (See Post Below), re-upping here. Buying the back month 90 delta strikes (both call and put) and selling the front expiry 30 deltas, with the result being a delta neutral setup on fill. As before, I tend to manage each side individually, so keep track of both my global cost basis, as well as side cost basis and break evens. These start out as: Long Put Diagonal Aspect (May 19th 172 short put/July 21st 193 long put): 14.17 cost basis/178.83 break even/21 wide Long Call Diagonal Aspect (May 19th 183 short call/July 21st 135 long call) 42.43 cost basis/177.43 break even/48 wide. As before, I'll look to roll out the short put aspects to the shortest duration 30 delta when the short option reaches 50% max that is at or above my cost basis (in the case of the short call), at or below my cost basis (in the case of the short put), liberally taking profit on sides should that happen.

RTY UpdateRetail numbers missed bigly, garbage retail stocks all down big today. Made some money off BUD puts, though I actually expected the numbers to be good, lol. Small caps down 1.4%, at this point I'm not chasing the drop today. However, it looks like RTY is headed to oversold again, so I'll look at it again this afternoon, maybe throw another $2k bet against some garbage. I need to be careful though, any time I make decent money, I throw it away on a stupid gamble, lol. Maybe I should just take a break, I'm up close to $10k the last 4 trading days....
