Trade idea on Walmart - WMTJust as an idea: Cash secured put on Walmart, with a strike price of $134 (delta 23) and an expiry of Feb. 18, 2022. Trade would to be closed on Feb. 16, 2022, 1 day before the quarterly results, which will be published on Feb. 17, 2022, before market opening. The $134-$135 area has successfully acted as support four times over 1 year. Whether it will do it another time is of course uncertain! The additional purchase of the cheaper put with strike price 115$ reduces the margin and creates a bull put spread. This trade idea is one of the 222 trade ideas from my book "The Stock Market Year 2022: Which stocks go up and when?"

Will the FED be able to control inflation? Spy outlookSp500 ended the day continuing to form a bear flag. We are still in a bearish market.
I am short term bearish, short term bullish and long term bearish
First let me explain why I'm bearish next week then bullish.
There are a few reasons why i think the market will drop to around 3829.75 - 4016.75
The moving averages are color coded
Blue - Daily 200 MA
Purple - weekly 50 MA
Orange - Weekly 100 MA
Green - Weekly 200 MA
1st - on April 5th 2021, where the red rectangle is, there is a small gap we are probably going to fill before heading up
2nd - the trendline starting from February 5th 2018 is well respected. I see a bounce off the top of the trendline next week
3rd - the Daily 200 MA was rejected and found support at the weekly 50 MA. Bulls fought hard but support looks relatively weak.
4th - global events are spooking the market. Inflation/fed and rate hikes starting in March, tension between Ukraine and Russia.
Overall market doesn't look good. After the drop I expect a relief rally before the real drop comes.
A drop from the highs down to the bottom trendline is around 60% 1 year from now.
2007 drop was around 54%.
Previous corrections were around 30 to 50 %
This correction I'm expecting a bigger drop because of how overvalued the market is.
My trade plan:
buy Feb 21st and 28th calls and start building a long position when price gets to 4010 and shows confirmation of a reversal or bounce off the main trendline.
If we drop more to 3829.75 I would load up heavy on calls.
HOLD CALLS SHORT TERM ... I would sell and slowly build my put position as price hits the .382 .5 and .618 retracement level of the high to low swing from ATH.
Watch the .782 level as a close above this level on the daily chart will invalidate this idea..
I would put a stop loss above the .782 retracement

Nifty still in a downtrend butMy Analysis of Nifty
Looking at the Open interest data 18000 has a very strong resistance with very new call writers at 18000, 18050, 18100,18200, 18300 levels.
PCR is 0.5 suggesting that its oversold
Max Pain at 18000
Support shown at 17923(100 day moving average on hourly charts)
PCR and support suggest that the market might open in the green tomorrow, however, trend continues to be downtrend so data suggests it may remain remain flat tomorrow, upside seems very difficult.
Also, FII were net sellers with -2704.77 crores and DII were also net sellers: -195.07 which suggests weakness
Will be looking for opportunities to Sell calls on uptick. Short with caution
I do expect the closing to be around 17900-18050

IWM Put Credit Spread (see related) into a ICIWM continued to fall today, so I decided to look on the call side to turn this into an Iron Condor.
Why?
1. Condors do not increase margin over a spread
2. IWM has been range bound
3. Large cushion past 2 resistance points
4. Additional Credit recieved
Opened Feb 2nd 236/238 IC for a 0.22 cent credit.
XRT Bullish inclined Naked Puts 17 Dec Expiry (Dec Track 2)Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought
Feels like a safe position given that the market is seeming very bullish at the moment
XRT has also broken a key resistance line and that transforms it into a solid support line
XRT are retail discretionary companies and right now there seems to be alot of optimism. Consumers seem to be find paying for the current rising prices of products. I think will continue with the festive period
Feds are probably not going to increase interest rates in Dec so we can expect that to not be a concern
I Feel
Solid and Confident
Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side
As a fact the inflation rate is high and it has already impacted wages and prices.
Prices of durable goods are high vs last year
Supply chain issues that are resulting in retailers unable to cope with demand is still not solved and this will have an impact on business that do not have ample reserves to sell
Imagine Yourself As A Neutral Observer
While inflation is a concern the market is showing a lot of bullishness
This feels very straight forward
Look For New Information
Nothing new
How Do I Feel Now
I'm confident to pull the trigger
Trade Specs
Sold 0.65, 85 Put Contracts @ Strike 89
% to Strike 12%
ATR % is Around 21%
BP used 75k
Max Gain: est $5525
VXX Bearish inclined Naked Calls 26 Nov Expiry (Nov Track 1)Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought
Market Bullish Stance
The overall market seems to be back on it's bull run. This is reflected on the SPY and NDX who have both made new highs
Sep Consumer Spending has lost momentum but still grew at 1.4%
Sep Personal income was up 0.9%
These factors, including the upcoming festive year end period. With less COVID19 restrictions should result in an increase in consumer spending with an appitite to accept raising prices (At least for this quarter)
Est price to strike is around 54% which is a pretty good buffer and is around it's previous high. This is shielded by an S&R line at 28.5
I Feel
Confident and safe
I'm happy with the risk profile and it is also 50% hedging my RVLV trade
Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side
We could be at the bottom and a retracement is a possibility at least short term
We expected Nov's market to be bearish volatile so this bullishness might be short term
Imagine Yourself As A Neutral Observer
Strike to price distance seems safe
If we read the market for what it is now. It is bullish
While some volatility might come as we close Dec due to the US debt ceiling
Look For New Information
US debt ceiling implications and the upcoming review date on the 3 Dec will cause some market volatility. For now while the country has a short reprieve from the threat of default, Yellen said some investments in funds through December 3 will remain suspended
