Smart Traders Record Their Trades

Option trading is like the game of golf. You can never be perfect at it, but you can always get better. As I like to say, β€œthe one thing I cannot teach as an option trader is experience.” The obvious question, then, is how does one gain that experience. There are two ways, and one […]

Covered strangle strategy

Today, I’m diving into a strategy I absolutely love under the right circumstances – the covered strangle. We’ll discuss how to buy low, sell high, and generate income using options with strategies like covered calls and cash secured puts. Using Amazon as an example, I’ll show you how to double dip by selling both calls and puts to collect premiums and potentially lower your break-even point. This isn’t an all-the-time strategy, but when you see a stock in a range, it makes a lot of sense. Watch, learn, and trade smart!

An Option Watchlist Is Critical

watchlist

So many of the option traders I work with ask me how to find the best trading opportunities. Without an options watchlist, I believe many traders are just searching aimlessly for opportunities. The key is to keep the list active and updated without letting it get so big that it does not help anymore. Having […]

5-13-24 What to watch this week

Join Dan Passarelli for a quick market update on this slow Monday. With the PPI number looming tomorrow and CPI following soon after, it’s no surprise there’s a lack of action today. We’re hovering near resistance levels, making it a key moment for potential momentum or a retest of the 50-day moving average. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s updates! #MarketUpdate #StockMarket #Trading #Finance

Wrapping up the week and planning for next week

Welcome to the weekend! Join me, Dan Passarelli, as we recap the week in trading. This week was all about technical analysis with minimal volume in the markets. Despite being above the 50-day moving average for the third consecutive week, the lack of conviction due to the absence of significant news makes the charts tell a shaky story. Next week, we’re gearing up for some crucial updates with the release of PPI and CPI data, which could sway market sentiment based on inflation indicators. Stay tuned for potential market reactions! Meanwhile, have a fantastic weekend and catch you next week!
