Opening (IRA): TQQQ December 20th 74 Covered Call... for a 71.29 debit. Comments: Selling the -75 delta call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with built-in short call defense. I'm looking at this as a starter position because I kind of have a feeling that I'm going to regret not putting this on in weakness/higher IV and will be adding at better strikes/break evens (only time will tell). Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 71.29/share Max Profit: 2.71 ROC at Max: 3.80% 50% Max: 1.36 ROC at 50% Max: 1.90%

Gold Spot intraday setup. The Pushmi - Pullyu animalRemember Dr. Dolittle? He was a vet who could talk to animals. One of the rarest was the “pushmi-pullyu,” a llama with two heads (one head was where the ass ought to be). The pushmi-pullyu was a gentle creature that did not like to be stared at. And yet the other animals in Africa convinced him to go with the good Dr., and be put on display in Europe, because Dr. Dolittle was a kind soul who needed money to look after all the animals in his “care”. It's gone a bit since Gold explosion last week, due to Biden's gaffe to authorize the yellow/blues regime use US-made missiles inside Russia's legal area, while the rods of Russia's retribution hanged like the sword of Damocles over all of Europe, on the basis of reciprocity. Last week Gold spot added +153 US Dollars just in 5 Days. That was the best in history ever 1-week return, since January, 1980. Additionally, in percentage points Gold spot added +5.97 percent in a week. It was the 3rd best 1-week return over past decade. Gold spot in Euro OANDA:XAUEUR at the same time continues its gain 11th straight month in a row. The main intraday graph is for Gold spot OANDA:XAUUSD , and it indicates that Gold has retraced a bit to its key $2670 level (that was discussed in earlier published ideas), and ready to take Adv. again, since Trump-a-rally rolled out into the all-the-world fart.

UltraPro QQQ. Trump-a-rally gives no light for leveraged betsIt's gone 10 days or so, since Mr. Trump has secured a win over his Democrat-rival Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as it declared by the Associated Press. Since that, a lot of stocks soared in a meme-style mode, while Bitcoin clears $93,000 and Dogecoin soared amid Trump-fueled crypto rally. The main graph is for UltraPro QQQ NASDAQ:TQQQ and it indicates, that major 82-Dollars resistance for leveraged bets on Tech sector has not been broken yet. 👉 NASDAQ:QQQ is a traditional ETF that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, suitable for long-term investors seeking broad exposure to tech-focused stocks. 👉 NASDAQ:TQQQ is a leveraged ETF that aims to deliver triple (3x) the daily returns of the Nasdaq-100 Index, making it only suitable for short-term traders. Since US dollar interest rates are still near multi year highs and Powell says the Fed is in no hurry to cut interest rates.. all of that means Trump-a-rally gives no light for leveraged bets (yet). Potentially everything can be clear in January, 2025 only. GL y'all. Cheers, @Pandorra 😎

Opening (IRA): TQQQ August 16th 73 Monied Covered Call... for a 70.80 debit. Comments: High IV at 55%. Buying a one lot and selling a -75 call against in the August 16th monthly to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with built-in short call defense. I looked at doing something in the 45 DTE wheelhouse, which would be the August 30th expiry, but it was less liquid than the monthly, so opted to go shorter duration, with the plan being to roll out to the September monthly should we get further weakness and/or a test of 73. Otherwise, I'll look to just take profit at my standard 50% max. Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 70.80 Max Profit: 2.20 ROC at Max: 3.11% 50% Max: 1.10 ROC at 50% Max: 1.55%

SPX 666The S&P has proven itself a safe haven over the years and will likely continue doing so. There are a ton of reasons why the markets should collapse, nonetheless here we are rallying into the sunset. Taking a step back on the logarithmic scale we can see the pattern clearly. We are in the midst of a 3rd wave up with plenty of room to run... but where to? Near term and long term targets below. Using the Fibonacci extension tool we can overlay a road map to the next destinations. No surprise there is a near perfect match. The Near Term Top The 2.618 level above at 4,500 is an area to pay attention to and is the current near term target. My strategy continues to be 'buy the dip' all the way up to these macro levels using the 1 hour chart with an RSI set to 10. However, 4,500 on the S&P does not look like the end of this cycle. The Long Term Top My long term call for the top is around 6,660. Not only is it sandwiched in between the last fib extensions. It is a historically significant pivot point. No, I'm not a conspiracy guy but I do think it's hilariously entertaining that the major pivot points all happen near 666 levels. Looks to me as if the market is flying towards 6,660 like a bat out of hell. Trading is risky. Don't do it.

SPY on weekly stays the course LONGSPY on the weekly chart is up 25% in the past six months. This is beyond its historical norms even during a presidential election year. While there has been some volatility in both directions the climb is consistent and persistent. The indicators serve to document this. The predictive algo predicts more of the same. A price cut when the fed gets around to it will serve to sustain the trend. Lack of it through the summer may cause a fade of momentum. Make hay while the sun shines.

QQQ Intraday $100 to $2500 with options RECAPQQQ is shown here on the 15 minute time frame. Overlaid are a HMA 7 and SMA 5 to provide moving average crosses. QQQ made a "M" pattern. Options charts are shown in the updates. First Trade SQQQ is opened at 9:48 for $ 6.00 per call contract times 16 contracts. It is closed at 10:05 less than 20 minutes later at $20.00 per contract. $96 dollars the only risk in the trade is waiting to settle as is the $ 224.00 in profit. ( This is a same day expiration intraday trade) Second Trade QQQ as QQQ has topped and is pivoting down. The second trade of the day is not a same day expiration as it is now Friday afternoon, a put option in the direction of the trend is taken for Tuesday the 20th, there being no puts for the Monday holiday. The floating profit is $ 224 and the strike is set for below the money in the current direction of the trend. A strike of $ 429 selected. The options chart is shown in the updates. The premium was 0.37 so $37 per contract so six contracts were taken for a total of which is $222 or slightly less than the profit on the first trade. The trade is taken at 14:47 market time and closed about 90 minutes later at 15:52 before the close. The contracts sold at close for $ 1.41 each yielding $ 141 per contract or $ 2256 overall. Between the two trades $100 was risked and $ 233 + 2256 or 2489 overall. The Reward to Risk ratio was about 25. The profit and the initial $100 into the trades awaits settlement after the holiday. This trade was made to teach a mentee about the power of options leveraged with narrow expirations to optimize profits and not spend a lot of time in the trade to minimize risk in the market from any number of potentials. Alerts and notifications centered on moving averages and rise or fall of intraday low time frame relative strength are used to lessen screen time. Twenty baggers may not be everyday but then again with practice and patience they can come along often enough.

QQQ rangbound bearish bias SHORTQQQ on the daily chart hit a hpivot high on 3/21 followed by a slight downtrend of 1-1.5 % overall this past week. Buying volumes are low. The Price Momentum Oscillator has reversed to bearish and the Raltive Trend Index has entered the chop zone and is heading bearish. Price is presently one standard deviation above the intermediate-term anchored VWAP. Reversion to the mean suggests another 1% move downside before VWAP support exerts itself. Price is compressing in a symmetrical triangle. Accordingly, I am expecting a move down before a potential reversal in a VWAP bounce from that support.

SQQQ leveraged inverse QQQ LongSQQQ on the 15 minute chart has trended down into a reversal at the end of the last trading session. A snapshot of the 3 minute chart inlaid shows a reversal about 14:45 EDT 75 minutes before market close. I took a long trade of shares and call options striking $10.00 for June 14th at that point. I am expecting a 5% quick return on the shares and far more on the options. The relative volatility indictor is helpful to further pinpoint the reversal for best entry. (red to green) The set of Hull Moving Averages ( 14 and 35) also serves to signal "death" and "golden" crosses which serve to further aid trade entry accuracy. The relative volume indicator ( of veryfid) also helps in that regard. It has extreme volume spikes in black. OF particular interest, the last 15 minutes of the trading week has a volume spike of buying in SQQQ. This comforts me to know that other traders saw what I saw. I am fortunate that I saw it about 45 minutes before them and got a better price. This demonstrates the value of indicators and knowing how to apply and interpret them. Trading is not as complicated as the pundits and the fee for services and trading room coaches will have you to believe to make you financially dependent on their "guidance and assistance".

Opening (IRA): TQQQ August 16th 71 Covered Call... for a 68.76 debit. Comments: Buying stock and selling a -75 delta call against to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put with the built-in defense of the short call. As usual, this only makes sense in a cash secured environment where you don't get much BP relief going with the short put over the covered call; on margin -- stick with the short put. Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 68.76/share Max Profit: 2.24/contract ROC at Max: 3.26% 50% Max: 1.12/contract ROC at 50% Max: 1.63% Will generally look to take profit at 50%, roll out the short call on side or break even test. (It's entirely possible that I will regret this trade later).

Nasdaq is gonna crash in the next two weeks! SAME PATTERN!CAUTION: AWESOME OPTIONS PLAYS AT THE END OF THE POST! NFA ;-) Look at this weekly chart and don't tell me that this is a repeating fractal!? The same color trend lines are almost the same length to a T. The upper trend line channels are gonna be the same distance, which extrapolates this going south for a very long time. (check out my AMEX:SILJ thread to show the repeating fractal line up) Now of course these lines aren't gonna be what happens, you can see there was some out of the ordinary channel reactions on the downtrend last time. I personally think that Biden is gonna mess up the debate, then pardon his son and leave the presidency while Kamala will tap Hillary Clinton as VP (via Ford Agnew redux) and then pardon Biden for any crimes done in office or out of office. The markets will melt down, the FED will cut rates, maybe by 250 basis points since they keep going larger with their reactions to contain the ponzi scheme. I'd buy puts right now, 400 December Puts for 4.10, sell them for 5x for a nice Christmas/New Year's present. OR you can go the supersize route and buy puts on TQQQ for 42$ for the $25 strike price (it'll go lower imo) for a 25x return, if the price goes down to $15, that's around a 4200% return!! NFA ;-) Also this shows the road forward, via a Livermore Accumulation Pattern. So we go very UP for the long term.
