Yen Futures: Resale of Call options 0.006850 Bearish SentimentThe targets set for the Yen on February 19th have almost been reached. The uptrend still has a small potential to reach target number 2, but after that the Yen's downtrend will most likely continue. This is supported by COT reports and activity in option portfolios, which were formed on February 29 (at the local minimum) on the CME exchange. The prices of futures and volatility have increased. Stated that someone BIG and WELL INFORMED market participant is profiting from reselling 0.00685 call options without waiting for them to become ITM (in-the-money). Can you guess why?)

Is BA Boening ready ?On the daily chart BA had big trend up for November and December but then fell with news of issues the the Max model which further developed into an FAA inquiry. In the meanwhile Thailand and India based airlines contracted for more jets and an earnings report beat both lines especially earnings. It would seem forward earnings are fortified by those new contracts. The chart shows price currently sitting at the support of the bottom of the high-volume area of the volume profile and just under the nearby POC line. In confluence, it has been in consolidation at a Fibonacci level. I consider that BA has been accumulating within a narrow range and is now well situated for another leg up. The last trend up was about 50% over 2 months. I will take a long trade here anticipating a similar move sometime soon. Targets are 230 and 250 with call options for August or September also under consideration.

BA Trade Setup into Earnings by Fib Retrace / Volume ProfileBA is shown on a marked up 120 minute chart with a Volume Profile and Fibonnaci retracement levels as well as the trend angle reversal at the consolidation upon finding support at the bottom of the high-volume area of the profile. The fib levels suggest targets. Risk in the trade is after earnings reports of "beats" will drive the action higher or "misses" will cause a down trajectory. Volatility will increase as the earnings date quickly approaches. Some traders may want to close a winning trade just before earnings or take a predominant partial close leaving the the rest to move through the storm looking for blue sky. I have a risk appetite here. I will take call options for February 5th striking OTM at $240. I will cut them no later than 24 hours before earnings or when they hit 200% if that happens beforehand.

Options Blueprint Series: Iron Condors for Balanced MarketsIntroduction: In the nuanced world of options trading, the Iron Condor strategy stands out as a sophisticated yet accessible approach, especially suited for markets that exhibit a balanced demeanor. This strategy, belonging to the "Options Blueprint Series," is designed for traders who seek to harness the potential of stable markets. Iron Condors offer a way to generate profit from an underlying asset's lack of significant price movement, making it an ideal choice for periods characterized by low volatility. Understanding Iron Condors: An Iron Condor is a non-directional options strategy that aims to profit from a market that moves sideways or remains within a specific range. This strategy involves four different options contracts, specifically two calls and two puts, all with the same expiration date but different strike prices. It combines a bull put spread and a bear call spread to create a profitable zone. To construct an Iron Condor, a trader sells one out-of-the-money put and buys another put with a lower strike price (forming the bull put spread), while also selling one out-of-the-money call and buying another call with a higher strike price (forming the bear call spread). The essence of this strategy is to collect premium income from the options sold, with the trade being most profitable if the underlying asset's price remains between the middle strike prices of the calls and puts sold. The Iron Condor is lauded for its ability to generate returns in a stagnant or mildly volatile market, making it a preferred strategy among traders who anticipate little to no significant price movement in the underlying asset. However, it requires precise execution and an understanding of the underlying market conditions to mitigate risk and optimize potential returns. Market Analysis: The current financial landscape often presents scenarios where markets exhibit balanced behavior, characterized by low volatility and minor price fluctuations. In such environments, traditional directional trading strategies might not always offer the desired outcomes due to the lack of significant market movements. This is where the Iron Condor strategy shines, serving as an ideal tool for traders aiming to capitalize on market stability. Balanced markets are typically observed during periods of economic uncertainty or when major market-moving events are anticipated but have yet to occur. Investors' wait-and-see attitude during these times results in a trading range where prices oscillate within a relatively tight band. Utilizing Iron Condors in these scenarios allows traders to define a price range within which they believe the market will remain over the life of the options contracts. Successfully identifying these ranges can lead to profitable trades, as the sold options will expire worthless, allowing the trader to retain the premiums received. Implementing Iron Condors under such conditions requires a keen understanding of market indicators and trends. Traders must analyze historical volatility, forthcoming economic events, and overall market sentiment to gauge whether the market conditions are conducive to this strategy. This analysis is crucial in setting the strike prices for the options contracts, determining the width of the Condor's wings, and ultimately, the trade's risk-reward profile. Introduction to Silver Futures: Silver Futures represent a standard contract for the future delivery of silver, a precious metal with both investment appeal and industrial applications. Trading on the COMEX exchange, these futures provide a crucial tool for hedging against silver price volatility and speculating on future price movements. Key Features of Silver Futures: Contract Specifications: A standard Silver Futures contract on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) typically involves 5,000 troy ounces of silver. The price quotation is in U.S. dollars and cents per ounce. Point Values: Each tick (0.005) movement in the silver price represents a $25 change in the value of the Silver Futures contract. This point value is critical for calculating potential profits and losses in silver trading. Trading Hours: Silver Futures are traded almost around the clock (23 hours per day) in electronic trading sessions, providing opportunities to react to global economic events as they unfold. Margin Requirements: Trading Silver Futures requires a margin deposit, a form of collateral to cover the credit risk. The initial margin is set by the exchange and varies with market volatility. The current recommendation set by COMEX is $8,000 per contract. Options on Silver Futures: Options on Silver Futures offer traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call options) or sell (put options) the futures contract at a specified price before the option expires. These instruments allow for strategies like Iron Condors, providing additional flexibility in managing silver price exposure. Applying Iron Condors to Silver Futures Options: Implementing Iron Condors within the realm of Silver Futures Options requires a strategic selection of strike prices that reflect a balanced market's expected trading range. By capitalizing on Silver's historical volatility patterns and current market analysis, traders can construct Iron Condors to optimize their chances of success. Trade Setup: Underlying Asset: Silver Futures (Symbol: SI1!) Market Conditions: Anticipation of a stable to mildly volatile market environment. Strategy Components: Sell Put Option: Strike Price $22.50 Buy Put Option: Strike Price $21.95 Sell Call Option: Strike Price $23.85 Buy Call Option: Strike Price $24.30 Net Premium Received: 0.2680 points = $1,340 Maximum Profit: Net Premium Received $1,340 per contract Maximum Loss: Difference between strike prices minus net premium received = 0.55 / 0.005 x 25 – 1,340 = $1,410 per contract Trade Rationalization: This trade setup is designed to profit from a range-bound market, where the price of silver is expected to remain between key support and resistance price levels until the options' expiration. The selected strike prices reflect a balanced view of the silver market, aiming to maximize premium income while limiting risk exposure. The trade's success hinges on silver prices staying within the defined range, allowing all options to expire worthless and the trader to retain the collected premiums. Trade Management: Managing risks associated with Iron Condors involves closely monitoring silver prices and being prepared to adjust the strategy in response to significant market movements. This may include rolling out positions to different strike prices or expiration dates, or closing out the position to mitigate losses. Understanding the nuances of Silver Futures and their options is crucial for effective risk management in this strategy. Risk Management: Effective risk management is paramount when employing Iron Condors, particularly in the volatile commodities market. The Iron Condor strategy, by design, limits the maximum potential loss to the difference between the strike prices of the inner options minus the net premium received. However, market conditions can change swiftly, leading to potential challenges that necessitate proactive risk management techniques. Monitoring Market Conditions: Continuous observation of market dynamics is essential. Significant economic announcements, geopolitical events, or changes in supply and demand can impact silver prices drastically. Traders should stay informed and ready to act if the market moves against their position. Adjusting Positions: In the event of unfavorable market movements, traders may need to adjust their positions. This could involve closing out the position early to cut losses or 'rolling' the strategy to different strike prices or expiration dates to better align with the new market outlook. Use of Stop-Loss Orders: While not always applicable in options trading, setting conditional orders to exit positions can help limit losses. For Iron Condors, this might mean closing the trade if the potential maximum loss is approached. Diversification: Employing Iron Condors as part of a broader, diversified trading strategy can help mitigate risks. No single trade should expose the trader to disproportionate risk. Conclusion: The Iron Condor strategy offers a prudent approach for traders looking to capitalize on balanced markets, such as those often encountered with Silver Futures and Options. By selling options with strike prices outside the expected range of movement and protecting the position with further out-of-the-money options bought, traders can receive premium income while having a clear understanding of their maximum risk exposure. This strategy thrives in environments of low to moderate volatility, where the underlying asset—silver, in this case—is expected to fluctuate within a predictable range. The inclusion of Silver Futures and Options in this strategic framework not only illustrates the versatility of Iron Condors but also underscores the importance of comprehensive market analysis and robust risk management practices. By meticulously crafting their positions, monitoring market conditions, and being prepared to make adjustments as necessary, traders can effectively navigate the complexities of the commodities market, harnessing the potential of Iron Condors to enhance their trading portfolio.

NVAX rises impending an earnings report LONGToday NVAX is selling for a tiny fraction of its all-time high as shown in a previous idea. Earnings is coming this upcoming week. This week NVAX news release showed it had settled a years long litigation over a failed COVID. In the face of earnings around the corner, was this news release a coincidence or instead a case of excellent executive and legal timing? I will skip the conspiracy discussion. On the chart, NVAX's bullish momentum is clear on its face. A price rise of 22% from a stock that has been stuck in deeply undervalued territory for a significant time period is remarkable. I have bought far out of the money call options into 2025 and 2026 some only this past month. Those from this month are now up over 250% with 11 and 23 months to go to expiration. I see NVAX as a risky penny medical stock with a high reward potential relative to the risk. It is a potential buy-out candidate and bankruptcy is less likely. The rich uncle is MRNA but the richer uncle in PFE might gain some interest. The wisest of capitalists buy out the competition when there is an opportunity and do not worry about the government crying monopoly when life-saving and life-extending medical products are involved. Time will tell. I expect insane profits.

Options Blueprint Series: The Covered Call Strategy DecodedIntroduction In the ever-evolving world of financial markets, savvy investors and traders continuously seek strategies to optimize returns while managing risk. Among the plethora of strategies available, the covered call stands out for its simplicity and efficacy, especially when applied to a dynamic asset like Euro Futures. This article delves deep into the intricacies of the covered call strategy, using Euro Futures as the underlying asset. Through this exploration, we aim to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of the futures and options markets. By the end of this journey, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how to implement covered calls with Euro Futures, enhancing your trading arsenal with a strategy that balances potential returns against the inherent risks of the forex futures market. Understanding Euro Futures: The Beacon of Currency Markets Euro Futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) represent a contract for the future delivery of the Euro against the US dollar. These futures are pivotal for traders and investors looking to hedge against currency risk or to speculate on the fluctuations of the Euro's value relative to the dollar. Each Euro Futures contract is standardized, with each contract representing a specific amount of Euros. Trading Euro Futures offers a transparent, regulated market environment with deep liquidity, making it an attractive instrument for a broad spectrum of market participants. The futures are marked-to-market daily, and gains or losses are credited or debited from the trader's account, providing a clear view of financial exposure. Key Features of Euro Futures: Contract Size: Each contract represents 125,000 Euros. Tick Size: The minimum price fluctuation is $ 0.000050 per Euro, equating to $6.25 per contract. Trading Hours: Euro Futures markets are accessible nearly 24 hours a day, allowing traders from around the globe to react to market-moving news and events in real-time. Leverage: Futures trading involves leverage, allowing traders to control a large contract value with a relatively small amount of capital. However, while leverage can amplify gains, it also increases the potential for losses. Market Participants: Hedgers: Corporations and financial institutions may use Euro Futures to protect against adverse movements in the Euro's exchange rate, securing pricing or costs for future transactions. Speculators: Individual and institutional traders may speculate on the future direction of the Euro's value against the dollar, aiming to profit from price movements. Importance in the Financial Landscape: The Euro is the second most traded currency in the world, making Euro Futures a critical tool for managing currency exposure in the international financial markets. The contracts provide a gauge of market sentiment towards the Eurozone's economic outlook, influenced by factors such as interest rate differentials, political stability, and economic performance. The Basics of Covered Calls: Charting a Course The covered call is a conservative strategy where the trader owns the underlying asset — in this case, Euro Futures — and sells call options on that same asset to generate income from the option premiums. This strategy is particularly appealing in flat to moderately bullish market conditions because it allows the trader to earn an income from the premium, which can provide a cushion against a downturn in the market and potentially enhance returns in a stagnant or slightly bullish market. Key Concepts of Covered Calls: Ownership: The trader must own the Euro Futures contracts or be long on a futures position to write (sell) a covered call. Option Premium: The income received from selling the call option. This premium is the trader's to keep, regardless of the option's outcome. Strike Price: The price at which the underlying futures can be bought (call) by the option buyer. The trader selects a strike price that reflects their expectation of the market direction and their willingness to part with the futures if the option is exercised. Expiration Date: All options have an expiration date. The covered call strategy involves choosing an expiration date that balances the desire for premium income with the market outlook. Implementing the Strategy: Selection of Euro Futures Contracts: The first step is to have a long position in Euro Futures. This position is the "cover" in the covered call strategy. Selling the Call Option: The trader then sells a call option on the Euro Futures they own, receiving the option premium upfront. This option is sold with a specific strike price and expiration date in mind. Outcome Scenarios: If the Euro Futures price stays below the strike price at expiration, the call option will likely expire worthless, allowing the trader to keep the premium as income while still holding the futures position. If the Euro Futures price rises above the strike price, the call option may be exercised by the buyer, requiring the trader to sell the futures at the agreed strike price. This caps the trader's upside potential but secures the premium as profit. Risk Profile Graphic for the Covered Call Strategy on Euro Futures: This graph illustrates the profit and loss potential of a covered call strategy applied to Euro Futures. The strategy involves holding a long position in Euro Futures while selling a call option at a specific strike price. If the Euro Futures price at expiration is below the strike price, the trader's loss is offset by the premium received from selling the call option. However, the profit potential is capped if Euro Futures rise above the strike price, as the trader may have to deliver the futures at the strike price, missing out on further gains. Implied Volatility and CVOL: A Navigator's Tool In the strategy of covered calls, understanding Implied Volatility (IV) is essential. IV reflects the market's expectation of a security's price fluctuation and significantly influences option premiums. For traders employing covered calls, especially with Euro Futures, high IV can mean higher premiums, offering better income potential or protection against the underlying asset's price movements. Since the Euro Futures is a CME product, examining CVOL could provide an advantage to the trader as CVOL is a comprehensive measure of 30-day expected volatility from tradable options on futures which can help to: Determining Premiums: By gauging current IV, traders can identify optimal premium levels for their call options. Deciding which Strategy to use: High IV periods might indicate advantageous times to implement covered calls, leveraging CVOL's insights for timing entry and exit points. Benefits and Risks of Covered Calls: Income Generation: The most apparent benefit of the covered call strategy is the ability to generate income through the premiums received from selling call options. Downside Protection: The premium received can offer some “protection” against a decline in the futures price, effectively lowering the break-even point. Profit Limitation: A significant risk of this strategy is that the trader's profit potential on the futures is capped. If the market rallies strongly beyond the strike price, the trader misses out on those additional gains, as they are obligated to sell the futures at the strike price. Initiating a Covered Call with Euro Futures: Setting Sail Implementing the covered call strategy with Euro Futures involves a blend of strategic foresight and meticulous planning. The objective is to enhance potential returns or protect against downside risk through the calculated sale of call options against a long Euro Futures position. Here's a step-by-step guide to navigate through the process: Step 1: Selection of Euro Futures Contracts Long Position Establishment: Begin by establishing a long position in Euro Futures. This position acts as your safety net, providing the necessary coverage for the call options you're about to sell. Margin: When going long Euro Futures, the Margin Requirement (suggested by CME on Feb-21 2024 is USD 2,100 per contract) Market Analysis: Conduct a thorough analysis of the Euro Futures market. Consider factors like historical volatility, economic indicators affecting the Eurozone, and any impending events that might influence the Euro's value against the dollar. The chart shows how careful key Support and Resistances have been selected in order to decide when to buy long Euro Futures as well as deciding the Call Strike Price to use. Other techniques can be employed depending on the trader’s plan and methods. Step 2: Selling the Call Option Strike Price Decision: Choose a strike price that aligns with your market outlook. A strike price above the current market price can offer potential for capital appreciation, plus the income from the premium. Since the Resistance is located around 1.10, selling the 1.10 Call could be an appropriate decision. Expiration Date Selection: The expiration date should reflect your market perspective and risk tolerance. Shorter-term options can provide more frequent income opportunities but require closer management. We will be using December 2024 in this educational idea. Premium: When selling a 1.10 Call using DEC24 expiration on Feb-21 2024, the premium collected would be between 0.02180 and 0.02280. The midpoint being 0.0223 and the contract size being USD 125,000, this means we would collect USD 2787.5 in premium, which would either add to the profit or subtract from risk. Step 3: Managing the Trade Monitoring Market Movements: Keep a vigilant eye on market trends and Euro Futures price movements. Be prepared to adjust your strategy in response to significant changes. Adjustment Strategies: If the market moves unfavorably, consider rolling out the option to a further expiration date or adjusting the strike price to manage risk effectively. Case Study: A Voyage on Euro Seas Let's illustrate this strategy with a hypothetical trader, Elena. Elena holds a long position in Euro Futures, expecting slight bullish momentum in the upcoming months. To capitalize on this and earn additional income, she sells call options with a strike price slightly above the current futures price, receiving an upfront premium. As the market progresses, two scenarios unfold: Bullish Outcome: The Euro strengthens, but not enough to reach the strike price. Elena retains her futures position, benefits from its appreciation, and keeps the premium from the call options. Bearish Downturn: The Euro weakens. The premium received provides a cushion against the loss in her futures position's value, mitigating her overall risk. Risk Management: Navigating Through Storms Implementing covered calls doesn't eliminate risk but redistributes it. Effective risk management is crucial: Use of Stop-Loss Orders: These can limit potential losses on the futures position if the market moves against your expectations. Position Sizing: Ensure your position size in Euro Futures aligns with your overall risk management strategy, avoiding overexposure to a single trade. Diversification: Consider diversifying your strategies and holdings beyond just Euro Futures and covered calls to mitigate systemic risks. Conclusion: Docking at Safe Harbors The covered call strategy, when applied to Euro Futures, offers traders an efficient way to navigate the forex futures market. By generating income through premiums and potentially benefiting from futures price movements, traders can strategically position themselves in varying market conditions. However, the journey doesn't end here. Continuous learning, market analysis, and strategy adjustments are paramount to sailing successfully in the dynamic waters of futures trading. As with all trading strategies, the covered call approach requires a balance of knowledge, risk management, and practical experience to master. Embarking on this voyage with Euro Futures and covered calls can lead to rewarding destinations, provided you navigate with caution, preparation, and an eye towards the horizon of market opportunities and challenges.

SPY- Open Put Options to Hedge Long Stocks SHORTSPY on the 15-minute chart seems to have hit a pivot high. With a variety of long positions, I need some insurance against a bull trap or even a black swan event in geopolitics. It seems SPY puts would fulfill the purpose. Out of the money below the current price seems opportunistic. Accordingly, I will take a handful of put options that expire at the mid- March monthly 1% below current price. If the market is healthy these will drop in value especially with time decay. They will serve as insurance. On the other hand if the market gets a cold or worse a bad case of COVID, these will partially offset any losses while managing positions.

SPY falls into mean VWAP support for LONGSPY on the 1H chart was riding the cynamic resistance of the second upper VWAP line in mid July but then pivoted down out of a head and shoulders at the bottom of the month and is now bounding up and down retesting the support of the mean VWAP line. The ADX indicator shows the flat line directional index. The ZL MACD is upgoing after a cross of the lines at the lows. Price is impending another VWAP crossover on the retest. I see this as an excellent base from which to take call options long targeting $453 for both 8/18 and 9/1. Please leave a comment, will SPY turn it around here or seek the downside?
