Nifty Demystified in Multiple TF for August 11 2023 1) Weekly – Previous week candle has a bigger wick at the bottom indicating buying momentum at the lower levels This week candle seems to be an inside candle to the previous week candle. Need to wait for today's closing to conclude on this. 2) Daily indicates – 19450 to 19500 is a strong support area. There is a hammer at the Trendline followed by a confirmation candle of yesterday, can’t be ignored. For any further down move to continue on the positional basis, there must be a daily close less than 19530. Intraday analysis 1) 4H candles indicate wicks at the bottom at the Trendline supply zone indicating that sell orders are being absorbed at the supply levels at the same time there is buying at 19490-19530 region every time price hits there. 2) 30 Minutes indicate that, the selling is too strong till now, the size of the red candles is too big compared to the green ones and one red candle has covered a minimum of 2 green candles, the green candles formed in the last 30 mins are weak ones. 3) There has been an excellent price compression in the 15 minutes and 5 minutes time frame, so will wait for the price action to go long/short after 10 AM. Supply and Demand zones have been marked. Happy trading !

Basics of Options TradingIntroduction Options trading is a versatile and potentially lucrative investment strategy that allows traders to speculate on the future price movements of underlying assets. Unlike traditional stock trading, options trading grants investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price (the strike price) within a specified time frame. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the basics of options trading, empowering readers with essential knowledge to navigate this exciting financial market. Understanding Options Options are financial derivatives that derive their value from an underlying asset, such as stocks, commodities, indices, or currencies. There are two types of options: call options and put options. • Call options: A call option provides the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price before or on the expiration date. • Put options: A put option grants the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before or on the expiration date. The Option Contract Each option contract represents a specific quantity of the underlying asset, known as the contract size. For equity options, one contract typically covers 100 shares of the underlying stock. The contract's expiration date determines the period during which the option can be exercised, making it crucial for traders to choose an appropriate time frame for their investment objectives. Option Premium and Factors Influencing Pricing The option premium is the price paid by the option buyer to the seller for acquiring the option. Several factors influence the pricing of options: • Intrinsic Value: The difference between the current price of the underlying asset and the option's strike price. For call options, the intrinsic value is positive when the underlying asset's price is above the strike price. For put options, the intrinsic value is positive when the underlying asset's price is below the strike price. • Time Value: The additional value attributed to the option due to the time remaining until expiration. The more time an option has until expiration, the higher its time value, as it provides more opportunities for the underlying asset's price to move favorably. • Implied Volatility: A measure of market expectations for the underlying asset's future price volatility. Higher implied volatility results in increased option premiums, as uncertainty enhances the potential for significant price swings. Trading Strategies Options offer a wide array of trading strategies, catering to different risk appetites and market outlooks. Some popular strategies include: • Buying Call or Put Options: Traders purchase call options if they anticipate the underlying asset's price to rise, and put options if they expect the price to fall. This strategy limits the potential loss to the premium paid while allowing unlimited profit potential. • Covered Call: Involves holding a long position in the underlying asset while selling call options against it. This strategy generates income through the premium received but caps the potential upside. • Protective Put: Involves buying put options to protect an existing long position in the underlying asset. If the asset's price drops, the put option provides downside protection. • Straddle and Strangle: Both strategies involve buying both call and put options simultaneously. Straddles work when significant price movement is expected, while strangles work when traders anticipate moderate price movement. Conclusion Options trading offers a dynamic and flexible approach to investing, empowering traders to profit from various market conditions and tailor strategies to their risk tolerance. By understanding the basics of options trading - the types of options, pricing factors, and popular strategies - investors can effectively leverage options as a valuable tool in their financial toolkit. However, it is essential to recognize that options trading involves inherent risks and complexities, and beginners are encouraged to start with a solid understanding of the fundamentals and practice prudent risk management before diving into this exciting financial realm.

FUBOTV moves before earnings LONGWith upcoming earnings on August 4th, as shown on the @H chart, FUBO is moving. The set of three EMAs (35/70/280) show an impending crossover the longest EMA and a golden cross between the other two has already occurred. The MACD demonstrates the bullish momentum. The dual time frame RSI has the low/green line crossing the 50 level from well below it and then the high/ black line in the 60 range another confirmation of bullish trend strength. I can appreciate that other traders are anticipating a bit of a jump in the event of an earnings beat. I will join that group. The target is the level of the double top of mid-July. The stop loss is the level of the golden cross of the EMAs. An identified options trade is the strike of $ 3 expiring 8/11.

SBUX upcoming earnings opportunity LONGSBUX fell going into earnings in early May and continued down all of May then pivoting into a slow climb on this 2H chart through the lower anchored VWAP bands until the present where it is about to cross the mean VWAP lines as signaled by an engulfing green bar after a Doji. The dual time frame RSI lines have both near the 50 levels with the lower in green slightly above the higher in black. I see SBUX rising in the earning upcoming this week. The target is the ascending trendline in black at about 104 for a quick 2.5% ROI in 2 days. I will play this with some call options contracts striking 102 expiring August 11th. I will take half of them off with a 50% unrealized profit and let the remainder run until 8/9 to avoid acceleration of time decay.

MRNA a medical Technology Stock LONG MRNA is a medical technology company. It is in the vaccine sector and competes ( well) with NVAX and PFE among others. Earnings are upcoming on 8/3 in about a week. On the 30 minute chart it appears to be in a descending wedge pattern which is typically a bottoming with a breakout over and beyond the descending trendline. The relative trend indicator shows the downtrend to be a slow grinding type trend with some minor corrections along the way. As might be expected the RS lines are low in the indicator's channel. I see this as a setup for a pre-earnings play with the expectation that MRNA could breakout above the resistance trend line and move toward the horizontal resistance of the triple top earlier in mid-July. I see medical stocks as a good alternative to technology stocks that may be overextended and stressed by the current financial chaos pressuring the markets. Another approach is a two call options targeting $ 125 expiring 8/11 and running the first until 100% profit or 8/2, the day before the expiration whichever comes first and letting the other run through earnings into the middle of the following week at 8/9. I always like to cut these short of expiration by a few days to diminish the effects of time decay.

TLT Short term Treasuries Bullish LONGTLT as shown on a 30 minute chart shows TLT in a narrow range last week and then a pivot down to begin this week followed by a downtrend and a small correction until then the fed news of the rate hike came out. Today the general market dropped after some federal financial data came out and a treasury auction was a dud bond auction with little transactions occurring confounded by Bank of Japan actions inconsistent with the path of the US Fed. The mass index indicator has signaled a reversal as the signal rose above the reversal zone and then dropped below the zone thus triggering. The Relative Trend Index documents the end of the red downtrend with the signal line nearly returning above zero. Overall, I think TLT traders overreacted to the federal news and the catalyst from Japan. I believe this to be a good point to enter long using the pivot low as the stop loss. Targets are 100.5 just below the mean anchored VWAP and 101.5 just below POCl line volume area of the intermediate term volume profile. This offers modest potential profile for a relatively low risk. However, I intend to trade this intraday as a same day expiration (0DTE) option striking 101. I will set a set a stop-loss on the option of 15% while expecting potentially 50-200% ROI making for an acceptable ratio.
