NQ Trade IdeasNQ had a nice recovery today so far, but remains below 20k. It did reclaim a major trendline for now, but is also forming an ascending wedge on shorter term time frames. I like patterns like this one, ascending wedge that is peaking right near 20k resistance. Could be a big move down if it rejects and then also falls below the major trendline below. I'm prepared to play calls as well if it goes the other way, this area should provide a good move either way. Shortby AdvancedPlaysUpdated 0
A Major Rotation or Proper Pullback?E-mini S&P (September) / E-mini NQ (September) S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5517.00, down 17.25 NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 19,750.75, down 232.00 E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures finished lower to start the week but there was a stark difference in price action across sectors. The E-mini S&P’s -0.3% was certainly dragged by tech with the SMH (Semis) plunging by -3.4%. However, gains across XLF (Financials) +0.63%, XLV (Healthcare) +0.19%, XLE (Energy) +1.7%, and XLU (Utilities) +0.5%, glued the session together. In fact, E-mini Dow futures notched a positive session at +0.66%. At the onset of today and as we stare down the final trading days of Q2, it begs the question whether this is the start of a significant rotation or just simply a healthy pullback in the market darlings. What we do know is the E-mini NQ traded into our rare major four-star support at 19,732-19,757 late yesterday and price action has so far responded. There is also a significant area of support in the E-mini S&P defined below as the market leans into 5500, aligning multiple levels with the consolidation pennant from June 12-14th. Look for responsive action in the first hour of today’s trade and it could set a bullish tone accompanied by potential window-dressing into the quarter’s end.

Nasdaq NarrativeWent down today and swept the Weekly Objective, continued lower and hit a Daily Objective on Nasdaq. I'm still rooting for shorts on the HTF, Reasoning: Bearish SMT Divergence between NQ & ES as I was hoping for Yesterday, Lack of Sell Side Liquidity sweep on ES & ES has not hit its Weekly BISI, no SMT Divergence at the lows yet. DXY remains HTF Bullish although it's been lethargic lately. So overall I remain HTF Bearish until a Bullish Market Structure shift occurs w/Displacement, Bullish SMT Divergence at the lows, Liquidity sweep on both ES & NQ, HTF PDA(ES Weekly BISI Hit) OR it consolidates here and I get more information and a new narrative on where price is willing to go. Below is two scenarios I expect to pan out tomorrow, I want to see price retrace into a HTF Inefficiency, this can happen at a lower price on a LTF like the 1H Opposed to the 4H Chart, all I'm trying to look for is some HTF PDA to react off of to go from IRL -> ERL for a continuation lower. Second one is if price decides it doesn't want to move from here for a couple days, in which I would looks for confluences to go long into premium/overall reversal back higher into a Daily Inefficiency/New ATHs, etc. Summary: HTF Still Bearish for now until I see otherwise.

Navigating Today's Market Trends: How to Read the Signs and StraIndices Futures Let's start with the indices futures. Gravity is pulling towards the rising trendline, which is a healthy move for the market and its indicators. The RSI for the NASDAQ on the daily chart was over 82, a level not seen since January 23, 2018. Similarly, the SP500 futures are taking a short pause, much like in March 2024. It's moving clearly within a rising wedge, needing to bounce off the ascending trendline to continue its upward trajectory.Longby ChartScope0

Intraday NQ setupI’d like to see if we can sweep some Buy Side Liquidity before trying to move lower today. We are currently at some strong Demand zones that we have already tested and are becoming WEAKER. If we can sweep those equal highs and reject the 15m Supply we might be in for a strong move lower today. Until I see a strong setup through demand or the setup I mentioned, I will not take any shorts. No setup = no tradeShortby BullishBearsKevin0

Options Blueprint Series: All-Time High Christmas Tree SpreadIntroduction As Nasdaq futures continue to show bullish momentum, traders are eyeing the potential for a new all-time high. With market conditions favoring upward movements, leveraging options strategies that maximize upside potential becomes crucial. One such strategy is the Christmas Tree Spread, traditionally used to limit risk while maintaining profit potential. However, in this article, we will explore a modified version where all strikes are Out-Of-The-Money (OTM), creating a setup that profit to the upside no matter how high Nasdaq goes. This approach aligns perfectly with the optimistic outlook for Nasdaq futures and sets the stage for potential gains. Strategy Overview The Christmas Tree Spread is a versatile options strategy that can be tailored to suit various market conditions. Traditionally, when using calls, it involves buying one call at a lower strike price and selling three calls at higher strike prices and buying two more calls at even higher strike prices, creating a balanced risk-reward profile. In this modified version, we adjust the strikes to all be Out-Of-The-Money (OTM), enhancing the bullish nature of the strategy. For this setup, while Nasdaq Futures are trading at 19,982.75, we select the following strike prices for Nasdaq futures options with an expiration date of September 2024: Buy one 20000 call Sell three 21500 calls Buy two 21750 calls By choosing these strikes, we position ourselves to benefit from any substantial upward movement in Nasdaq futures. All strikes being OTM ensures that the breakeven point is set above the current price, effectively betting on a new all-time high for Nasdaq. This configuration guarantees profit to the upside, regardless of how high Nasdaq futures rise. Strategy Rationale The rationale behind selecting an all OTM strike setup for the Christmas Tree Spread lies in the current bullish outlook for Nasdaq futures. As markets exhibit strong upward trends, the potential for Nasdaq to achieve new all-time highs becomes increasingly plausible. This strategy aims to capitalize on such a possible bullish scenario. Why OTM Strikes? Lower Cost: OTM options are generally cheaper, reducing the initial cost of setting up the spread. Increased Profit Potential: Since all strikes are set above the current market price, the profit potential is maximized for any substantial upward movement. Risk Mitigation: The structure of the spread inherently limits risk, as losses are capped while allowing for upside gains. Breakeven Point: The breakeven point for this modified Christmas Tree Spread is calculated based on the premiums paid and received for the options. Given the strikes selected (20000, 21500, and 21750), the breakeven point is above the current E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures price (20,465.62), aligning with the expectation of a new all-time high. Detailed Setup and Example Trade Setup Details: Buy one 20000: This is the lower strike option, purchased to gain exposure to significant upside potential. Sell three 21500 calls: These are the middle strike options, sold to offset the cost of the purchased call and to create a spread. Buy two 21750 calls: These are the higher strike options, purchased to cap the potential loss from the sold calls and complete the spread. Premiums Involved: Assuming the following hypothetical premiums: 20000 call: 683.38 points 21500 calls: 145.42 each (436.26 total for three) 21750 calls: 109.25 each (218.5 total for two) Net Cost: Total cost of buying calls: 683.38 (20000 call) + 218.5 (21750 calls) = 901.88 Total premium received from selling calls: 436.26 (21500 calls) Net cost: 901.88 – 436.26 = 465.62 Risk Profile and Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Maximum Risk: The maximum risk is limited to the net cost of the trade, which is 465.62 points. Maximum Reward: The maximum reward would take place at 21500 on expiration and is 1034.39 points. The structure ensures 534.39 points of profit as the index potentially climbs higher. Breakeven Point: The breakeven point is the initial cost added to the lower strike price, which is 20000 + 465.62= 20,465.62. Trade Scenario: To illustrate, let's consider the potential outcomes at expiration in September 2024: If Nasdaq is below 20000: All options expire worthless, and the net loss is the initial cost: 465.61 points. If Nasdaq is at 21500: The 20000 call gains 1500, the 21500 calls expire worthless, and the 21750 calls expire worthless. Net gain = 1500 - initial cost = 1034.39 points. If Nasdaq is at or above 21750: The 20000 call gains 1500, two of the 21500 calls each lose 250, and the 21750 calls expire worthless. Net gain = $1500 - 750 (total loss from sold calls) – 465.61 (initial cost) = 534.39 points. Risk Management Risk management is a crucial aspect of any trading strategy, especially when dealing with options. For the modified Christmas Tree Spread strategy on E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures options, several risk management techniques can be employed to ensure that potential losses are minimized and profits are protected. Use of Stop-Loss Orders: Stop-Loss: Implementing stop-loss orders can help limit losses if the market does not move as expected. Setting a stop-loss at a certain percentage below the purchase price can automatically exit the position, reducing the risk of holding losing trades. Hedging Techniques: Protective Puts: Purchasing protective puts can provide additional downside protection if the market moves significantly against the position. This can be considered if there are signs of a strong bearish reversal. Spreading Risk: Diversifying the strike prices or expiration dates can spread the risk and reduce the impact of a single adverse market movement. However, this needs to be balanced with the strategy's intent and market conditions. Avoiding Undefined Risk Exposure: Capped Risk: The strategy inherently caps risk by buying the 21750 calls, which limits the maximum loss from the sold 21500 calls. Ensuring that all components of the strategy are correctly implemented and monitored helps avoid unexpected risks. Regular Monitoring: Regularly reviewing the position and market conditions ensures that the strategy remains aligned with the trader’s expectations and risk tolerance. Adjustments can be made as necessary to manage exposure. By incorporating these risk management techniques, traders can enhance the robustness of the modified Christmas Tree Spread strategy, ensuring that potential losses are minimized while maximizing the chances of achieving the desired profit. Application with Micro E-mini Nasdaq Options The modified Christmas Tree Spread strategy can also be effectively applied to Micro E-mini Nasdaq futures options. Micro E-mini options offer the same strategic benefits but with smaller contract sizes (10 times less), making them more accessible for traders with smaller accounts or those looking to manage risk more precisely. Advantages of Using Micro E-mini Options: Lower Capital Requirement: The smaller contract size of Micro E-mini options means a lower initial cost, making it easier for more traders to participate. Fine-Tuned Risk Management: Smaller positions allow for more precise control over risk, as traders can scale in and out of positions more easily. Similar Profit Potential: While the absolute profit may be smaller compared to standard E-mini options, the percentage returns can be similar, providing an effective way to capture upside movements in E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures. Comparison of Standard E-mini vs. Micro E-mini Options: Standard E-mini options have larger contract sizes and are typically used by traders with more significant capital to invest. In contrast, Micro E-mini options offer smaller contract sizes, making them ideal for traders with smaller accounts or those who prefer to manage risk more precisely. Both options provide the same strategic advantages but cater to different levels of investment and risk management needs. Using Micro E-mini Nasdaq futures options provides traders with the same strategic advantage of capturing significant upside potential while managing risk effectively, aligning well with the bullish market outlook for E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures. Conclusion The modified Christmas Tree Spread strategy offers a robust and flexible approach to capitalizing on the bullish momentum of E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures. By strategically placing all strikes Out-Of-The-Money and targeting a new all-time high, this setup ensures profit potential to the upside, no matter how high Nasdaq climbs. With proper risk management and precise execution, traders can maximize their gains while minimizing risks. Whether using standard E-mini options or Micro E-mini options, this strategy provides a powerful tool for navigating the current market conditions and positioning for future growth.
