Uber
Every Traders and Analysts should know their Limitations!In this article, I would like to review some of my best trades in the past 2 months!
My goal is to talk about earnings and how unpredictable their outcome could be.
In the past few months, I have tried to find reliable methods to predict the price movement after the earnings!
Unfortunately, I did not find any reliable and fairly accurate method so far!
Having said that, I prefer to stay out of trades before earnings to manage the risk of exposure to big gaps!
I do this because I know it is in my favor in the long term!
For example, I opened a perfect entry at 125.5 for Qualcomm, and closed with a +7.66% gain before the earning! It popped with +12% after earnings!
Should I regret it?
My answer is NO, I am actually very proud of this trade, although I missed the bigger chunk of profits in this trade, my decision was right in Palantir and AMC case!
PLTR: trade closed with +10% in 21 days
AMC: trade closed with +26% in 4 days
Also, I prevent a catastrophe in PYPL: closing with a -2.16% loss.
But why should I be proud of my trade?
I think any trader needs to define his rules and follow the rules!
In the long term, those who do not follow their rules will have the same result, most of them will fail..!
How did I decide to not hold my positions during earning calls?
I apply one of the game theory rules!
Minimax
In game theory, minimax is a decision rule used to minimize the worst-case potential loss; in other words, a player considers all of the best opponent responses to his strategies and selects the strategy such that the opponent's best strategy gives a payoff as large as possible.
The name "minimax" comes from minimizing the loss involved when the opponent selects the strategy that gives maximum loss and is useful in analyzing the first player's decisions both when the players move sequentially and when the players move simultaneously. In the latter case, minimax may give a Nash equilibrium of the game if some additional conditions hold.
Minimax is also useful in combinatorial games, in which every position is assigned a payoff. The simplest example is assigning a "1" to a winning position and "-1" to a losing one, but as this is difficult to calculate for all but the simplest games, intermediate evaluations (specifically chosen for the game in question) are generally necessary. In this context, the goal of the first player is to maximize the evaluation of the position, and the goal of the second player is to minimize the evaluation of the position, so the minimax rule applies. This, in essence, is how computers approach games like chess and Go, though various computational improvements are possible to the "naive" implementation of minimax. (Brilliant)
Minimax has many applications:
In game theory or decision making, a tactic in which individuals attempt either to minimize their own maximum losses or to reduce the most an opponent will gain. For example, a health researcher may propose an intervention that would be the least aversive treatment for a serious disease, thereby minimizing the adverse effects patients may expect to experience as a result of the disease.
I can apply what I learned in med school to the market!
When should you use Minimax in trading?
The answer is simple:
Always..!
Actually, Minimax is the mathematical reason behind using stop loss!
I think I do not need to talk about the importance of stop-loss, I just want to mention WD Gann quote about stop loss:
"Stop loss orders are a trader's best friend."
Price Gap:
Generally speaking, stock prices experience a price gap after earnings! makes it very hard to execute your stop loss without slippage if you are on the wrong side of the trade! this slippage could harm your overall performance in long term as a trader!
Decision-making in the presence of uncertainty.
Minimax, as the name suggests, is a method in decision theory for minimizing the maximum loss. Alternatively, it can be thought of as maximizing the minimum gain, which is also known as Maximin.
It all started from a two-player zero-sum game theory, covering both the cases where players take alternate moves and those where they made simultaneous moves. It has also been extended to more complex games and to general decision-making in the presence of uncertainty.
Stock Market is a Non-zero-sum game, While options are a zero-sum game!
To wrap it up, you should use minimax when your opponent is very sophisticated and its activities are very unpredictable!
No need to say that market is very sophisticated and unpredictable!

DIDI: THE UBER OF CHINA ON SALE?DIDI , considered as the UBER of China , has lost 60% since its IPO day.
Chinese stocks have been beaten down badly.
Is this the opportunity of a lifetime to buy them cheap? I don't know.
Tell me what you think.
Looking at the chart, I see a triple bottom and a potential bounce play for all Chinese stock.
I believe that Uber is a Didi shareholder.
For these reasons I'm investing in the company for the long term .
Great buy here if you can handle the regulation risk.
Uber short term bullish. UBERIndeed. Have a look.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe!
Uber on his way to change the trend in daily to became bullishUber has a good configuration to change the bearish trend, but we need to wait next week to see :
Prices : As we can see the first tentative to cross the cloud by the price was failed, and now we wait for the second one: resistance at 45.60.
The chinkou is bullish but we need to wait until he cross the cloud (it s possible because the cloud is titled)
Tenken has crossed the kijun (which is a good signal) , the confirmation can happened when he break the resistance at 45.6
The last candle is a good reversal signal
UBER Can Ride To On Bullish Reversal (M Patterns Formed)Traders,
Uber has been falling down and has not completed an M pattern. There is an extended version of the M pattern available below where we have better FCP Buy Zone. If the upper FCP (Fibonacci Confluence Zone) gives a breakout we can initiate a position and if and when it comes down to the lower FCP zone we can add the position.
Targets are market in white horizontal lines.
Rules:
1. Never trade too much
2. Never trade without a confirmation
3. Never rely on signals, do your own analysis and research too

Analyzing My Part Time Employer - UBERNYSE:UBER
Is a great way to make money part time, especially if you can do it to invest that money in to the market.
Why do I do Uber?
That's simple... I do not trade with money I cannot afford to lose. I love investing but I also love paying my debts. Unlike China... ok that was pretty weak.
Anyway... This demonstrates buying the wrong break out and what can happen if you are caught in that zone. The strength looks good with a massive upside especially in an economy where work culture is beginning to shift dramatically and the gig economy is becoming more of a household choice rather than a regular side job.
I am long on $UBER as long as regulations stay in favor of the gig economy, but is imperative that we break above our upper wedge resistance for a more sustained breakout move.

Uber: Pre-market running. Gap fill or trend up?Uber resisted recent market sentiment and stayed green at the end of the day. Now, it's up with a 5% lead after some good news.
Now, as a day trade, I'm looking for a gap fill down to buy the bottom or a slow trend up.
The yellow lines are s/r from weekly lines. These can be key supports and predictably the first line it will test if we see a downwards motion on open.
A good level for buying UBERThe price of UBER is now at the level of the former resistance, which now acts as support (mirror level).
In addition, the price is also at the 1.618 expansion level from the first wave of the downward movement.
The short takeaway, which was formed in the local accumulation, also acts in favor of the purchase.
You can buy with a small stop at 38 (-5%) and a target at 48 ($19.8)
