Mpr's Price Action Plays

Hey all,

Figured I'd post this to help out with the community.

I only trade options, but this thread can be used to trade the stock or ETF as well.

I don't use FA, only t/a primarily studying price action. (Channels, S/R lines... etc.)

yada yada yada....

 

Hopefully this can be a place where we come together and make good $ through successful charting.

I've found success, and hope to spread some of the love.

 

PLEASE POST AWAY. POST TRADE IDEAS, CHART SET UPS. ETC. 

 

We will start it right off....

Past few weeks I've been primarily focused on SLV, but now that it's withering away, I moved focus to AAPL about mid-week. 

I know this is late and won't help anyone, but this is what you can expect to see from this thread.

 

 


We will start with WED AAPL chart, squeezed lower, looking to break down big time.

Thursday chart, broke below, buyers tried to bring it back and attempt to hold $345. Expected. I decided to wait for Fri morning action before grabbing the 35 puts that were about to expire.

And here's the final break-down. Rode my channel downward.

Here's the AAPL may $345 PUTS I chose to bank in on.

Bought around $1 this morning, sold around $4. This shot was taken before close, but it ran higher. Decided to play it safe.

 

MONDAY PLAYS COMING SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND.

FEEL FREE TO POST ANY PLAYS YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

That AAPL was a classic break down from consolidation, all those stops got hit.

I'll be flipping weekly options tomorrow. Possibly flipping a few more, like NFLX AAPL AMZN. I usually only flip 2 at a time. But look throughout a handfull throughout that day for a constant play. Tomorrow is option expiries on many weeklies, usually means big swings $.

Too lazy for commentary, but I want to start my way into getting a bit more organized into my studies. 

So here's a baby step in doing so; just charts, no commentary.

 

SPY

I'll find out if it rallies tomorrow.

The pop in the VIX today was overextended on retail. But nothing to be considered out of the ordinary. When the market is at an area where the current trend is being threatened, put contracts will be put on whether the intent be from a hedge or a bet on some downside. We have been in a long up trend, and just hit a potential topping area at last years highs. That explains why put contracts have began to be purchased the past few days. Look back on the vix chart and these pops are common at potential danger zones.

-Every time we've rejected 1350, we've never had a pullback shorter than 1325.

-1325 has a good chance of holding because of the regression channels rising support levels.

-if 1320-1330 doesnt hold, we'll be due for a pullback and 1300 (1290 begging for it) will be the likes of new support.

-but since we already tested 1300 and held, we'd be in a bit of a weak position at that level,

     and most likely the bounce wouldn't sustain. A test of that 1260 level will be in the cards.

-1260 has been the strongest support after failing 1350 the last few times.

 

Basically what I'm getting at is if we don't hold 1320/1330 range, We may be in for a change in the trend to the downside until 1260.

I also expect that we hold the 20DMA as support, and continue higher into new yearly highs... against most the higher probability scenarios of testing further support like the scenarios I projected above.

 

Too many good looking charts. banana.gif

I think one of the best ways to capture a bull market would be by riding the trend in your favorite vehicle.

My vehicle of choice will be AMZN. 

I'll follow up with technicals later.
