United Continental Holdings Inc (UAL) - Head and Shoulders SHORTAirline stocks have been poor performers, despite the short term pullback in crude oil recently experienced. UAL's peers seem to be in an downtrend and with the formation of the head and shoulders formation, any break of the neckline would indicate a short. Additionally on the chart above we have the MACD turning negative , RSI falling and a daily squeeze pushing to the downside. Previously similar price action has played out with price breaking from $86.00 and finding support at $78.00

THE WEEK AHEAD: NFLX, UAL, IBM, RSX, XLFEarnings is upon us ... . NFLX announces earnings on Monday after market close. The April 27th 285/347.5 short strangle is paying 11.05 at the mid (yikes!), with a 70% probability of profit; the 68% probability of profit April 27th 272.5/277.5/355/360 is paying 3.36 (67% of the width of the spread). UAL announces Tuesday after market close. The April 27th, 71% probability of profit 62/71.5 short strangle is paying 1.34, with the 67%-er April 27th 58.5/61.5/71.5/74.5 paying .65, although bid/ask on the long aspects of that setup are wide, so you will want to recheck that during regular market hours to see if you do better, with a >75% of the width of the wings being the ideal. IBM announces on Tuesday after market close. Its background implied volatility metrics aren't ideal at 29%, but that figure may ramp up slightly running into the announcement. Currently, the April 27th 148/165 is paying 2.09 (74% probability of profit), with the April 27th 143/148/165/170 paying 1.23 (70% probability of profit). On the exchange-traded-fund front, not much excites me here for new trades; I'm already basically in four out of five of the top background implied volatility symbols (OIH (34); XOP (34); EWZ (31), GDXJ (20), and FXI (25)), and those have all dropped below that 35% background metric I like for entering those trades, although XOP and OIH are probably "close enough." I've also been watching RSX, the Russia exchange traded fund, to potentially take some kind of a directional shot at fading this dip, whether it be via short puts or one of my other "funky" setups (See Post Below). The other one I'm watching for a longer-dated directional bullish shot is XLF, with some single names that announced last week taking it a bit in the groin for various reasons. Given the price of the underlying, it's workable for smaller accounts, although it hasn't historically been a great straight-up premium selling play with its weak sauce implied volatility and doesn't pay much divvy (.43 annualized; 1.57% yield) if you routinely eye things from that perspective.

October 18 Earnings: United Airlines-Hurricanes, Expenses & FuelUnited Airlines has its second largest hub in Houston, Texas where 7,400 flights were canceled over the course of the Hurricane. The company expects PRASM to decrease 3.5% to 4% due to impact from the Hurricane. Slightly higher fuel prices should impact YoY comparisons even if an overall edge is still present. I believe the company's higher expenses, catastrophe PRASM loss and high YoY comparison will hurt the quarter. I'm starting United Airlines with a $58 PT for the post earnings move.

Iron Condor $UAL (10 Days to Exp.)Hey Traders, I'm mostly testing out neutral strategies with small positions to add to a separate portfolio dedicated to market neutral strategies. The position is as follows. Option Strategy: Iron Condor Position Expiration: 21 APR 17 (Red Vertical Line / 10 Days to Exp -1.05% .) Total Legs: 4 Total Contracts held: 16 Position Breakeven Points: $63.74 / $71.26 Upper Leg: - Short (4) $71 Strike Calls - Long (4) $71.5 Strike Calls Lower Leg: - Short (4) $64 Strike Puts - Long (4) $63.5 Strike Puts Max Loss: $124.00 Max Win: $74.00 ROI: 59.67% Trade Management: Holding to expiration for premium / max loss. Reason for such management is the exceptional return on capital invested along with the fact that the expiration crosses over earnings for which I don't expect a wild move. In the small case there is a wild move then loss is mitigated and capped at a set rate that I'm willing to accept.

United Airlines - Coincidence or the magic of Fibonacci?Hey guys, I'm sure many of you heard about the United Airlines incident which is all over the media. I had some time to spare today and I decided to check out the charts of the company. This is my observation Pattern Identification Bearish shark completes at $75. If one were to trade UAL based purely on harmonic patterns. EP: $75 SL: $83 TP1: $57 TP2: $41.65 The value zone to buy low for UAL will either be at $57 or $41, depending on whether there is a nice bounce off the RSI OS zone. This makes me really question the effectiveness of Fibonacci numbers, are these numbers really that magical or could it be just a coincidence?
