TLT
OPENING: TLT AUG/SEPT 119/126 DOWNWARD PUT DIAGONAL... for a 4.83/contract debit. Fading the treasuries move higher ... again.
Here are the metrics:
Max Loss On Setup: $483
Max Profit On Setup: $217
Break Even on Setup: 121.17
Debit Paid/Spread Width Ratio: 69%
Theta: .32
Delta: -42.26
Notes: Will look to take profit at 20% max. Ordinarily, I like to do these skip month (e.g., Aug/Oct) to give me an additional roll opportunities, but wanted to keep things small (going out farther in time requires a wider spread to achieve a break even at or above spot). The Aug/Oct setup would be the 119/129 for a 7.72/contract debit, max profit on setup of 2.28, debit paid/spread width ratio 77% ... .

TLT Bullish bat pattern combination with a daily hammerIt's a new try to apply harmonic patterns to treasure bond ETF.
While recently people are discussing the yields, which is wildly convinced that it led to the Gold's slump yesterday.
With this harmonic patterns combination in TLT, and it gave a daily hammer yesterday, it's quite a nice long trade with patterns and reversal sign combination.
It worth noticing, not necessarily worth trading, but short-term speaking, if this is where part of the the bearish emotions for non-USD currencies come from,
take some profit for the short is not a bad idea yo!
Let's see how it goes!
TLT: Mother of all short squeezeEvery hedge funds and their wife, dog, cats, kids are short bonds.
Everyone is trapped in the narrative of the FED's rate hike.
The bus of short 10 year treasury is full. Its time for a train derail.
In a risk-off environment, do you think the FED will ever hike rates further?
Adding another level of uncertainly is the cancellation of the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore. Including the recent crash of Italian bonds, EU drama yet again (potentially 5x bigger than Greece)
The only place funds can reposition themselves are the US dollar, and US debt/treasury. Uncle Sam.
The VIX is currently near lows once again. ~13
It is time to counter-trade that, and reap the rewards of the short covering along 117 support line. You have only 2% to risk.
Just buy August 2018 - June 2019 call/ bull spread and close your chart. No stop loss.
If it doesnt get there, you lose your investments. If it does, you get back 5x~20x your investments.
All conditions are perfect.
Charts That Make You Go Hmmm... (SPY/TNX)Thank you to all my followers that take the time to read this with me.
Some historical background on the importance of the 10 year Treasury Note Yield Index. (Hey, we all need to brush up on it from time to time)
This is a ratio chart of SPY/TNX with a 9 year trend. As is the case with most charts related to interest rates, it's pretty technically perfect.
I've always found this interesting because this is a market that is almost 100% Fundamentally driven, yet produces the cleanest technicals, but I digress.
I just stumbled across this ratio chart, as interest rates are increasingly on my radar. I think the chart is self-explanatory for the technicians out there.
Lastly, let's play 'Guess-That-Pattern' on the weekly 9-Year chart. Good luck to all.
OPENING: TLT SEPT 21ST 113 LONG/JUNE 15TH 117 SHORT PUT DIAGONAL... for a .07/contract credit.
Taking a directional shot here at long-term horizontal support, with some flexibility to roll the short put aspect down in the event I'm wrong.
Notes: Will roll the short put aspect "as is" on 50% decrease in value and look to exit for 20% the width of the spread in profit.
