Tough trading period after the easy money move to retest June top resistance yesterday.

Are we consolidating with a huge bull blowup coming through the $323 level? Or are we seeing a double top?

Odds are still to the bullish side but buying dips here is higher risk. Almost better to wait for either a further pullback within a developing potential Darvis Box or after a clear breakout.

Thanks OA, was my thought after seeing the action this week. Appreciate the outlook.

That AMZN trade was there at 2920... just sayin...

Ideas for a good long term hold buy, with dividend, under $100 per share right now?

MM adjust their gamma exposure based on the PC skew changes relative to gamma. The job of MM is to stay neutral while providing liquidty.

So lets say when they deal a large number of puts to a buyer (OI change), the MM shorts the underlying to remain delta neutral, but as price moves one way or the other, their gamma exposure changes. So they then reposition to stay within 1 Std Dev OTM.

Has ROKU gotten too high in your opinion? Debating about cashing out and waiting for it to drop back down.

I was going to post a ZS chart, but AMZN works too.

So at this time, it has bounced of the 20 EMA. Now what do you do - Buy or Sell?

Depends really on your strategy. You can really use it however you want. If day trading (especially options) then sell. Take that $100 per share gain and run, or if options even better ROI.

If swinging and entered down around 21 test for first entry, trim some maybe or just wait it out with stop limit that makes you comfortable.

Some guys will accumulate a larger position on trend breakout (see AMZN 2200) and then sell half or covered calls on those extensions above the 8 EMA and then buy them back at the 21 test. If the pattern holds for awhile, it works well. This would be the 5th or 6th cycle since breakout.

ETA: Wait till you get a close above 8 EMA to add if you want to be more bold...

Here's the chart. I have no idea why, but these things repeat. JD has been repeating as well but not really tied to EMAs, more explosion moves and then falling wedges...

That's the AMZN chart right? I sold my weeklies at the low today and it has come roaring back...

Thanks for this, I'd have not put 2 and 2 together.

KMI has been sub 15 recently with 7%+ dividend
XOM near 40 and 8% dividend I like too

ETA - I like selling puts on these down here and collecting a decent return until it gets exercised at a price I like anyways. Right few weeks before ex-dividend is nice too to get double income and then sell covered calls. Can keep a portion true L/T and not sell calls as well

Yup, hammer close above 8 EMA today and it's right back on trend up into earnings.

Trying some farther out calls to get through current climate.

JD Sept 62.5C

CHNG with a give away reversal move upward having a pullback on market weakness is also a good buy. That or sell naked $11 Puts out to August.

Someone slap me next time I put a trailing stop on ROKU. F ME

The 8/7 12p is 1.42, but that may tie up your cash for a little longer than you would like

went with Aug 10P at 1.10. if it feels, that is an 8.9 cost so I am good with that.

Market is expecting a 15% move on NFLX post earnings, could be a fun Iron Condor to put on to cap the day.......
