BIDUD trade ideas
Contrast Weekly vs Daily Timeframe OBV and RSI indicate a possible bounce to the upside. Keep eye on intraday for continuation downward or break to the upside. If you wanna play both sides a straddle or strangle option strategy two or three months out might be ideal. For a one sided trade check OTM (out-the-money) contracts and the Vol in the options contracts relative to the strike price before purchase - 220 and 125 or 200 and 140 strike price might be ideal. Also don't wait to long to purchases options contract, because as directional price movement becomes more apparent and as Implied Volatility creeps up the more expensive the options become.
Descending DragonHVF pattern seems to be developing. Consolidation has developed in the neck of the funnel (aka Channel). Thus far the Smart money seem to have pulled out already indicated by the OBV, and RSI hit overbought levels. Entry @167 for the short, or you could wait at the breakout of the orange funnel. Intraday BIDU as shown impulsive up spike but still has not broken channel resistances or support. OBV also appears to have bottom out so this could be a good setup for a Long position if price action breaks the channel to the upside and OBV begins to reach upward.
Possible Triangle FormationTriangles are very difficult to pinpoint until they are in wave "E" so we'll have to wait and see.

BIDU - strong, but struggling with 201.00 USD area...Wait until this area beneath 201.00 USD is cleared. We will either see a decisive push above this level, or - if the general market is in " sell-in-May-go-away " mode - a break lower ( watch 180.00 USD ).

BOUGHT TO CLOSE BIDU MAR 18TH 152.5/157.5/180/185 IRON CONDORClosed this setup at 50% max profit (for the rolled setup) ($62.58/contract).
It doesn't entirely make up for my early bobble of BIDU's earnings announcement date (first they said it was 2/10; then it was 2/25), but I'll take it here going into Draghi/FOMC.
Here's the entire chain:
2/25 Sold March 8th 132/137/177.5/182.5 iron condor for a $131 credit
2/26 Bought the 132/137 short put vert back for a $9 debit (post earnings announcement; near worthless)
2/29 Rolled the 177.5/182.5 short call vert to the March 18th 180/185 short call vertical for a $17 credit (price too close to short call strike with limited DTE)
2/29 Sold the March 18th 152.5/157.5 short put vertical for a $48 credit (this wasn't strictly necessary, since I received a credit for the roll of the short call side; I just wanted some protection there if price continued to shoot off into the ether).
3/9 Bought to close the March 18th 152.5/157.5/180/185 Iron Condor for a $106 debit.
Total credits minus total debits minus fees and commissions = $62.58/contract, not quite 50% max profit of the original setup, but close enough considering that I had to roll and that it was supposed to be one of those ideal "inzee/outzee" earnings plays ... .
