IWM trade ideas

IWM 175/170 Put Credit Spread - Apr 8thPut Credit Spread Strikes: 175 short / 170 long Credit received: 0.54 Max loss = 5.00-0.54 = $446 It has been a while since I posted and this is for a couple of reasons. 1. A short vacation away to kick back and relax 2. The markets have been chopping all over my currently open positions and taking longer to turn and burn trades, meaning there just was not much to do as I was very close to my % capital deployed limits. This trade is simple simple. I closed out my IWM 185/180 yesterday with the pop, so today I put on a 175/170 even further out. I could sit here and tell you how I think the market is going to go roaring back up due to X Y and Z, but the reality is I have no clue. I am simply identifying areas outside of the current range, that provide a decent margin of error and decent compensation. Then I manage the trade as needed and make sure to follow my rules of -200% SL and 50% TP. I think this needs to be said because as traders we are looked to for the answers but often we are just being mechanical. Would I like to be in a trend here where I could feel very confident about putting on a bullish trade? For sure, but that is not the case. And if we want to make money, we need to be in the game. This doesn't mean that I am not going to scale back position size and tighten other parameters such as delta etc. What do you do in times of uncertainty, I am curious to hear - leave it below!

IWM 185/180 March 16 Put Credit SpreadTrade Credit: $0.55 = 11% Return on Margin Max Loss = 500 - 55 = $445 Strikes - Short 185 / Long 180 This morning I realized that I need to get more capital deployed based off of my trading plan (something I hope everyone has!) As such I went looking for trades, and today is not a bad day to enter trades. Reasoning is below! 1. Recent red days = Increased IV and increased Put prices (although this is slight reduced due to a large green morning) 2. Still bumping around in the trading range outlined by the white support and resistance lines 3. Todays green move up is above the prior two days candles move, and is the beginning of a confirmation of a possible move to the top of the range. If we are headed there, this trade will hit its take profit much earlier than expiration. I always try and keep these trades less than 30 DTE for 2 reasons: 1. it makes calculating expected return per month easier 2. Decay really ramps up after <45DTE and this just grows faster and faster. Ideally these trades are closed prior to <21DTE though as this is when other greeks can begin to bite you such as gamma. Questions. Comments? Put em below!

Indexes Weekly Review 2/28/2022Last week ended with a lack of conviction from all the indexes. SPY, QQQ, and IWM failed to close above their resistance line or the low set on the week of Jan 24. Looking at the intra week action, we see that none of the indexes could last a day over their resistance line. IWM found resistance at the 2% filter off the channel and 40 day EMA. SPY found resistance at the 20 and 200 days EMA. QQQ found resistance at the 20 days EMA. Looking at the week ahead, we will get greater clarity if the downtrend will continue, preferably by recording a close below the low of the week of Jan 24th. There also could be a sign of a downtrend reversal by all three indexes closing multiple days above their resistance EMAs and resistance line.

IWM - Looks like small caps might be in for a bit more hurtThe daily chart from the Covid crash to the peak of the Covid recovery paints a picture of the Russell 2000 that is eerily similar to a textbook sketch of Wyckoff's distribution theory. For the bulk of 2021 IWM respected a very clear support line that has been crashed through in 2022. Recent price action shows that old support being tested as a new resistance and buyers attempting to push prices through that level were flatly rejected. Furthermore, volume began spiking on drops in price below the 200 day moving average and any movement above it recently was met with anemic volume. This is not the excitement that we've been accustomed to in the small caps of 2020. The game has changed. With 1/3 of the Russell (at least) being non-revenue producing speculative companies that were exponentially over-valued during the 2020 bull run, it's hard to imagine that the grounding of the Russell isn't real and that it isn't coming. In today's market, giants like TSLA, AAPL, and MSFT are being dragged down to fundamental value. The small caps aren't immune, unfortunately. What's even worse is that a correction to AAPL's charts isn't as ghastly as some small caps that are trading at tens or hundreds of millions above their quarterly earnings. The Russell is an important index to watch if one is interested in small cap boomers. It serves as not only a tradable ETF but as a thermometer for the sentiment toward speculation. Right now, it appears that bullish sentiment and risk taking is waning and bearish sentiment is growing. This could lead to a gut wrenching performance for small caps going forward into 2022 and larger drops in former penny stocks that retail investors drove to epic heights in 2020 and early 2021. Many of these companies are still heavily overvalued after 50%+ drops in share prices. I'd expect volatility in the coming months as tax returns are pumped into these old favorites with the rallying cries of "buy the dip" and "moon next PR" on the breath of most novice investors and traders, especially those who are holding bags likely exponentially higher than current share prices. Once that surge of small money ends I would think that an abysmal summer is approaching for many of these strongholds. Most of the companies have made lofty promises and many of them have targeted this summer for validation of their business models and strategies. But in the face of generationally high inflation, wars, rate hikes, and supply chain disruptions along with a pandemic that is cyclically impacting humanity, will it matter? If Mr. Russell is any indication of what is to come, that answer is likely no. Spiking prices will likely be met with hard sell-offs and shorts that start to feel the squeeze will get a layer of protection from the trapped bulls just looking to get their money back out of the markets. It's not the best of news, but it shouldn't be considering that we aren't in the best of economic situations currently. Of course this is the markets and the markets have a mind of their own. It's wise not to get too caught up in bias and predictions to the point where you are unable to react appropriately and according to your plans. Good luck out there and God bless!!
