VSTM - Bear Trend ReversalBear Trend Reversal - Long term downtrend rejected with bullish RSI divergence on the weekly.
These hops off a long-term bear trend reversals can be swift and powerful. I've played these before and won (DAN...TQQQ after '18 Christmas)..but I've also played these and lost (MAXR).
I've previously played these directly on the instrument, but this time I'm playing this with 10 buys of $2 March 20, 2020 calls. Hoping to see a continued surge of implied volatility for these options as I don't plan on holding them through expiry. That being said, I've yet to really win on any of my options trades...but IV is on the up and up since my purchase so we'll just have to wait'n'see.

VIX Swing Trade Strategy The swing trade logic in VIX focuses on long term historic price action. There is always going to be volatility in the market and the "bottom" is historically between $11.50 - $13.50. When the VIX drops below $13.50 we would want to go long with an options spread (such as the VVS options strategy) and when the VIX rises above $24.50 we would want to go short with an options spread (such as a credit spread).
We can also run a skewed Iron Condor when the VIX is below $13.50 with the same logic: skew the Iron Condor with the "risk" on the low side and a "breakeven" to the top side. This allows us to profit from a "sustained" low VIX while also protecting our trade from a top-side breakout. We do not need to protect our trade from a "downside breakout" and we can set the breakeven on the bottom near the $11.50 range.
VVS - unlimited top-side profit potential by developing a call debit spread with an added put option to finance our trade.
Skewed Iron Condor - "status quo" capped profit potential with "top-side" breakout protection
Bearish Credit Spread - Call Credit Spread focuses on selling into strength after a spike in the VIX , leaning on drag and time
CRUS Sell the NewsCRUS is a tech company that makes the electronic parts for AAPLs product, it just cracked ATHs off good earnings.

As seen on the chart, was able to cash in on an Iron Condor last earnings cycle in a similar range. Going to give myself a little more time to be right and look to pin $37 in the next 30 days. Not overly concerned with what happens in the morning with earnings, but the binary event gives a nice chance to cash in on IV crush if the underlying shows little movement.

Swing trading chart for optionsI saw ZipTraders video on YouTube titled "How to make $100 per day", and the chart was very simple.
So thought I would set it up for QQQ, add a short term MA, a BB for confirming reversals, and change the RSI to make it work for this ETF stock.
Strategy:
1. I look for the RSI to be either overbought, or oversold.
2. While RSI in that situation, I look for a peak to appear.
3. When the peak appears, then I check that the price has touched the upper or lower Bollinger.
4. If I'm unsure if the price is turning, then I check to see if the 3 day MA has flattened
5. I open the trade
6. I sell the trade as it approaches the overbought or oversold. (Unless I sell it early, due to losing faith in it, for other reasons)
Please note:
You can do this with stock. I'm using options, but I haven't used or refined this strategy yet. I'm planning to use only ETFs.
I have no connection with the people who make the video. However, this type of trading is the simplest out there.
$X Iron FlyHitting this one again. Worked out well last month. Only widening the strikes a bit to give more room and also increase max profit. This does add risk to the trade however, but with a greater probability of profit.
