MACY"S M " Bull Trap" Bearish "Island Reversal" !Macy's M It's not often that you see a stock breakout to the Upside on the Daily Chart and then follow that up the following day,with a Breakaway Gap "Island Reversal" to the Downside Macy's fell 16 % today, on 45 Mil Shares,large institutional share liquidation even though they beat consensus earnings today 8/15/18 Ouch. I point this out simply to remind those who may feel different, that the stock market IS very risky investment/trade, even if you have correctly followed current technical trend and chart pattern.

THE WEEK AHEAD: M EARNINGS, TWTR, X, EWZThe only volatility contraction earnings play I'm looking at for this coming week is in Macy's, which announces earnings on Wednesday before market open, since it has the implied volatility rank and 30-day metrics I'm looking for (76/56). Here are some Macy's preliminary setups, with the short strangles set up around the 20 delta strikes: August 17th 36/44 short strangle, 1.21 credit at the mid, break evens at 34.79/45.21. September 21st 35/46 short strangle, 1.60 credit at the mid, 33.40/47.60 break evens. (The reason why I'd go with this one over the August is that there isn't much time to manage the August setup if it goes awry). September 21st 40 short straddle, 5.42 credit at the mid, 34.58/45.42 break evens Other underlyings with earnings in the rear view/exchange-traded funds: TSLA (rank 61/30-day 66). I am unsure of whether I will touch this underlying any longer given private equity discussions. These can ruin an options trade if they go through, as well as ruin one if they don't. (See, RAD, like, more than once ... ). TWTR. The rank isn't great, but there is still some background implied to mine there (41.7%). The Sept 21st 29/36 short strangle is paying 1.06, which isn't shabby for a 32 clam underlying. X. With a 30-day at 41.4%, the September 21st 27/34's paying .87, the 30 short straddle, 3.06. EWZ. I've been short straddling this high implied exchange-traded fund, but the 30/38's paying .82 in the Sept cycle if you just can't stand the kind of skewing out the short straddle enjoys every other day with this one ... . Other Major Food Groups: TLT: Waiting for 122.50-ish for another bearish assumption setup.

Macy's :( :( :(I barely post stock analysis in here, but I''ll open a short position on $M today. Here's my reason: I went to Macy's today trying to buy a new pair of sneakers, then I found a pair of shoes that I love and I told the sales lady to hold it for me coz I want to see some other stuff(that's the last pair on that shelf). Just couple minutes later, I came back to that lady and that sales lady told me she sold that shoes to another customer. and I was like: Arghhhhh.........Are.....you.....kidding.....me.....?! (me no happy face) I was pissed and now I decide to open a short position on macy's Target price: I dunno, probably trying to make $70?, which is the price for that sneakers. Stop Loss: umm....not going to put one :(

M Bear Call SpreadWait for price to get in or near the zone. Sell the August 45-50 bear call spread. Minimum premium for spread – 0.50. IV is low but there is sufficient premium for this strategy. We expect the supply zone to hold price below the short strike. Close if stop is met based on stock price. Close any short units for 0.05 or spreads for 0.10. If the premium falls to half of the credit received within the first week trade may be closed early. Depending on price action, profits may be taken early.

$M - Might be a good time to buy? Just guessing Even after the earnings beat I wasn't really big on the retail sector as a whole. Seeing a change in regime across large cap retailers like $TGT or $WMT where the growth & value seems like it's shifting towards the more overlooked tickers like $KSS, $M, ($JCP still getting beaten but I'll keep on watch just in case). Price crossing below 3 year (low) WMA was the start of a 3 & a half year, -70% run down. Seeing a change in regime like this would be exciting for any retail / consumer discretion contrarian. Contrarian or not though - Long.
