Hey guys,
I have compiled a 3 part long video that not only talks about the SPY to its full extent but also about 8 different charts and how we’re suppose to read into this type of market. In this video I concentrate on the SPY. For the SPY I look at a potential move lower in early trading only to reverse and end up a little higher. I do believe that the H&S will eventually break but this might take another 4-5 days. I look at potential targets for the SPY as we move lower and where I believe shorting would be most desirable.

For example, could a holding company owning shares in many other companies place covered calls on those shares? What would be a good resource for more info on relevant regulations? Sources please.
Any individual or corporations may open options trading accounts. I have a friend who owns a company and has an options trading account opened in the company’s name as well.
Today we look at the alternate views of the longer term market based on Elliott wave analysis. Some other things to keep in mind is that this market needs to retrace very very soon. We managed to call the top around 1044-1046 today, and we expect some sort of selling pressure into monday. We look at SPX, Dow Jones, JPM and XLF (which are both forming H&S formations).

I would start with http://www.cboe.com and click on the tab for the learning center. That is the website for the Chicago Board of Options. They have tons of free information, including how to DVD’s. They also have books that you can buy. You can also call them at 800-options. They have all kinds of information and training for the novice and the experienced investor. They also run free seminars around the country.
Keep this in mind, it’s in there best interest to ensure that you become a successful, options, investor. The more successful you are, the more trades that you will do, and the more money that they will make.
Good luck!

Today I look at the strong rally which was put to an end by the bad earnings in the after-hours of AMZN and MSFT. I look at some of the trades I made today, and some of the possible trades that could be looked at in the future. My guess is that today was a blow off top, and that we might see a few days or maybe even a week of consolidation between 927 and 960 on the SPX. In this video i also look at the SPY, GS and AMZN and talk about the market pscyhology of today’s rally.

Overview: While the majority of traders hope to make a profit trading options, we take a more business like approach and hope has nothing to do with it.
Trading options to us is entrepreneurial. We take advantage of market opportunities, build positions, manage a portfolio and generate profits trading options based on:
1. fundamental business principles and
2. market truths
We are not investment advisers or financial planners, we are retail investors like you. We do not not manage money and we do not make recommendations on any stock or option investment. We trade our own accounts.
Our purpose for establishing our training program and this website is to provide education to retail investors like us who want a smarter, simpler, less stressful and more profitable way to trade even with limited capital.
Business Principles:
We pursue opportunities in the market and then manage those opportunities based on the numbers.
All successful businesses manage their activities based on certain numbers: key ratios, profit and loss, conversions, overhead and more. That is what we do: manage our investment business by the numbers.
When a number is off we dig deeper into our business activities to see where the problem lies and make adjustments to our portfolio so that we generate the maximum amount of profits for the capital we invest, just like any good and successful business.
The only thing that matters in business is ROI (return on investment). In our type of business, we regard ROM (return on margin) as our ultimate goal. That is the name of the game and we never deviate from it because the numbers never lie.
The Only Truths of the Market:
For stocks there is only ONE Absolute Truth:
1. All stocks fluctuate in price.
For options there are only TWO Absolute Truths:
1. All options fluctuate in price.
2. All options expire.
The top traders in the world learn to respect these rules because they are the only truths of the market.
You might think there are other truths but there are not – everything you hear about the market outside these 2 rules is hearsay, opinion, commentary and even complete fantasy.
We are investing as entrepreneurs – we watch for opportunities, create a plan for trading activities based on solid business principles, plot our expected ROM (return on margin) and then manage those trades by the numbers.
How Do We Trade This Information?
We take these Market Truths and design a trading strategy which means taking advantage of market opportunities and building positions and portfolios around them. As we know its impossible to predict the future and that the market can be irrational and cause large losses at times for the average retail investor So instead of predicting market behavior we create fluid positions that are managed and adjusted according to market conditions so that we are always allocating capital as new opportunities present themselves.
The one art most retail investors are not taught is how to adjust positions once they are placed. Learning the art of adjusting trades is the insiders edges over retail investors- but not any longer. Once you learn how to adjust a trade so that it makes money (instead of losing money) you will be amazed at the results.
All businesses have risks. In this business there are 4 risks but the risks can be managed. And, it takes 15 minutes – sometimes less – a day to manage these types of positions.

Today I look at some overbought conditions both on the RSI and MACD, and explain the significance in these embedded environments as we hit some extremely strong necktie resistances between two huge trendlines. While the 38.2% are very close, and people expect us to hit it, I believe the first push lower of either a reversal or consolidation might start as soon as early or late monday and will continue for more than one day. In this video I also look at the inverse H&S on the Dow and S&P that broke out and explain what the ramifications may be for a very strong red week. I also look at GS, AAPL, AMZN.

I have a systematic approach to option trading. Each week I’ll start by describing the current market conditions. Then I will highlight the proprietary search that identified a promising stock. We will flip through charts in search of a high probability set-up. In the second video I will conclude with my Chart of the Week. I’ll describe what makes it attractive. This trade is a diamond in the rough.

Today I look only at the SPY and VIX chart, but I forecast two potential scenarios in the market, that both lead to a higher (lower volume) ending day (0.5-1%) for tuesdays trade. The first is a small gap higher due to the amateurish action that happened in the last 20 minutes of trading and then a sustained low volume increase until the end of the day, potentially forming a doji green candle. The second is a continued sell off lower to hit the 88.20 level in which we will reverse mid day and end the day potentially flat or slightly positive. I hope you take my words of advice that I put out on this video because it is extremely important in order to become a good trader!

Hi,
I’m look for a brokerage that would allow me to trade in basic options, such a buy either Call or Put option, which brokerage, has the lowest mininum (if any at all) to open a "stock option trading account"?
you can also check the companies on this list, which have no min balance for Options Trading.

If you already have an account trading regular stocks see if they have "options trading" available. If you’re not going to be trading a lot this would be the easiest way to go. The convenience of filing all your taxes and manage everything under one account is a time saver!
