Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading strategies with you! 1 Wrote this Iron Condor on $Palantir(PLTR)$ to play earnings. If price action holds steady where it is now into the open tomorrow, then will close this position out for profit (assuming IV crush does its thing on both sides). Definitely gonna close the call spread. Will see what the naked 130P and 125/115 PCS show on the premium tomorrow. 2 Writing puts on $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ looks tempting for this week. Nov 6 expiration, put strikes around 115. 3 Gonna write puts to play $Palantir(PLTR)$ for earnings today. Am targeting that gap at 127, so will wr

By Lawrence G. McMillan The market as measured by $SPX continues to trade in a narrow range between roughly 7600 and 7800. A clear breakout of that range would generate a momentum trade. Considering that the range is only about 3% of $SPX's value, it's amazing that it has lasted as long as it has. The broad market is presenting a different picture, and we'll get to that in the next article. $SPX rallied earlier this week, but that was mostly a bounce off the latest test of the 7600 support level last Friday. That rally barely brought $SPX back up to its declining 20-day Moving Average. Now, after poor earnings by AMZN and INTC, $SPX is selling off again and is right back in the support range of 7580-7620. Equity-only put-call ratios continue to rise, and that is bearish for stocks. As long

By Lawrence G. McMillan The Cboe (followed by other exchanges) has extended the trading hours for certain stocks and ETFs. This has already taken place, although not every option trading platform has implemented its trading for the new hours. The morning extended session runs from 7:30 a.m. (Eastern time) to 9:25 a.m. Then regular option trading begins at 9:30 a.m. The extended afternoon session runs from 4:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. That isn’t as much of an extension, but does give one the opportunity to trade for a short while after the NYSE closes. At one time in the past, options on most stocks traded until 4:10 p.m., but that was discontinued after large institutions complained that they were sometimes forced to mark their position in a stock with a 4:00 p.m. price (NYSE close), while optio

$VIX$  By Lawrence G. McMillan As time drags on, $SPX continues to trade within the trading range that has lasted since late July. This is marked in figure 1 by the box on the upper right. The current box has support at 7580-7620, which has been tested several times and is being tested again today. There is some resistance at 7750-7760 (the highs of several recent trading days), with more substantial resistance at the all-time highs, 7820-7840. Let's look at the individual indicators. They are still mixed reflecting the trading range environment. Equity-only put-call ratios are both on sell signals. Countering the negativity of the put-call ratios is an improvement in breadth. Breadth was nicely positive on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading strategies with you! 1 Anyone taking an optionselling trade on $Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ to play earnings today, amidst this market bloodbath? Was 👀 put-write trades on the Nov 20 expiration, strikes in the 110-150 range. 150 is volume point-of-control, and there looks to be a decent volume support cluster in that range.

Alright we are in the extreme fear category BUT no real panic yet. There's still lots of pressure on Semiconductor and AI related stocks. I think we see one more flush before FOMC next Wednesday before we start to carve out a bottom. The fact that $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ broke under last Friday's lows is not a good sign for tech. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ under 700 we can see 693,685 next. $SPX to 7500 in play if it breaks under 7620 as well. Tread lightly and make sure you're not going all in BEFORE FOMC. That's how you get cooked. $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ can drop to 500 on the next leg lower, this is most likely where a

$TVIX$ $UVIX$ $DECP$  By Lawrence G. McMillan After a slightly worse-than-expected CPI reading this week, the market finally made a move with some gusto. $SPX fell about 1.1% the day after that, with the Dow ($DJX) doing much better, but tech indices faring far worse. So $SPX is back inside the previous trading range, and the attempted breakout in earlier October is now officially a false breakout (pink circle on the chart in Figure 1). There wasn't any follow-through to the CPI-related selling, though, so now $SPX is back in a dull, trading range environment. There is resistance at 7820-7840, with support at 7580-7620.
