Got the confirmation today. We are going UP.

February 25th, 2010

Today I have got the confirmation, I was talking about – the pullback is over for the time being, and the next stop for SPX is 1113 – 1120.

it also looks like EUR/USD has also reached the bottom for awhile. The pullbacks are keeping being bough back, MACD shows divergence.

As for the stocks, we’ve got an ugly opening today, but managed to make it all back. Also, a lot of stocks have closed the day with big gains, erasing the losses for the previous days. One of those stocks is POT.

This is a nice buy here a 110-111, with the stop below 105 and a next weeks target at 122. Short term target is ~116. You may also want trade through ATM Call options, as they offer a better R/R for a trade.

I personally have bough March Calls@110 at 5.05. Stop below today’s low. Looking for 122 next week, though it all depends on tomorrow’s price action. If SPX is not able to break above 1113 I am out of my position.

Back to options trading. Trader Tony LOVES Google!

February 11th, 2010

Well, I guess, trading small cap stocks isn’t just for me. It is not just because of the big hit I took on KAZ (I have lost -13% in that trade). I guess the mane reason is the lack of liquidity and the need to be patient. And by patient. I mean – really patient.

For most of the people that would be the best way to invest in the markets – you research fundamentals, you dig for information, you compare long-term charts and competition, and then you make the move. You invest in several companies with the idea to hold this positions, at least 4-6 months.

For me, as a trader, this route doesn’t work – my capital is my working tool, and I cannot afford stash it away for half of the year.

So, now I am back to trading options, which are great tools to achieve higher return with well managed risk.

The chart below indicates, that the pullback we witnessed for the past 2 weeks may well be over, and some kind of rebound is going to happen soon. And by buying 3  Google Calls@Feb for 1.98$ I am betting that it has already started.

My stop is below 525$. My Targets are 550 and 570 (gap close)

Market projection for the coming 4-6 months.

September 14th, 2009

Here is an interesting chart, taken from www.xtrenders.com website. I am posting it here, as it really resonates with my own expectations.

Right now, we are in the market, where every small dip is being bought, a lot of positive news coming out, media starts to talk more and more about the “recovery”. So, all in all, the public’s mind is shifting towards “booming economic times ahead”, while some more sophisticated players are quietly selling their assets.

I believe, we will be stuck in a 70-90 point range till the end of the year. This is a good environment for a Wyckoff Top being formed. But it’s only a speculation at this point. Right now, the best way to trade this market is to ride it sideways, by buying support and selling resistance. There are also different strategies to multiply your earnings with options.
