27% profits every 20 days?
This is what Nic Chahine averages with his options buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads... BUYING options. Most traders don't even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here's how he does it.
That was nice!
In one day, we erased all of last week's losses and cleared the 50 dma before it had a chance to bend lower but, as you can see from Doug Short's chart, the 200 dma is already in decline and we have to do MUCH better than this to get back over that line and turn that frowning average upside down before we are able to say we're back on a long-term bullish path.
What we have so far is a 30-point, 2-day bounce on the S&P after a 16-day 105-point drop or, we could look at the post election day dip of 80 points over the previous 7 sessions and then 30 points back up is almost exactly that magical 40% retraces we'd be looking for and the short time-frame makes more sense that way.
Overall, we're looking for follow-through on this move, hopefully back to at least 1,400, which will take another 50% of yesterday's move to complete. As we noted yesterday, we were looking to make weak bounces to Dow 12,720, S&P 1,375, Nasdaq 2,900, NYSE 8,000 and Russell 790 and we made all of those targets so now we just need to hold them as we attack our strong bounce levels at Dow 12,950, S&P 1,400, Nasdaq 3,000, NYSE 8,100 and Russell 805. If we can't do that – it's not a real rally.
IN PROGRESS
