$AFRM Consolidating at a tough range.$AFRM consolidating on range between $144 to $149 tried to break but failed. falling EMA clouds are curving now it is crucial moment to hold this level and retest to break $150 level to create a reversal upside trend. if failed to hold this level will see down Fall $134.
AFRM
ROKU - STRONG CONFLUENCE SUPPORT & AVG $30+ BOUNCE OFF TREND All,
OVERALL (BULLISH 70/30)
I think we break out this wedge down here either now or one more attempt on bottom of wedge and hit 280-293. However, see details below. I am most likely going to hedge downside depending how Mon/Tues go. A breakout Mon-Tues I will just go into maintenance mode and watch it closely.
FUNDAMENTALS
Let's get to fundamnetals first. There are some "doubters" on ROKU. However, they may be right in the future as of NOW in the past quarter financialls and NOW as a company ROKU is very undervalued here reardless of future ROKU beliefs. If you want to be short next quarter for reasons "XYZ" totally get that. Arguing against ROKU after 600% EPS and customers Y/Y drastically increasing it's very obvious ROKU is worth 375+ at a "fair" valuation.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
There is a very stong support trend line here that is holding on average acting as support we have $30-$50 moves off of it regardles of what comes after.
MY POSITION(S)
$300 Calls Dec 3rd 2021 @ $3.65
(Will add pending non breakout by Tues) -- Either $265 or $255 PUTS for Dec 3rd 2021 (May want to add some regardless just as protection or even shorter timeframe)
**Remember on options you can close/sell at any time there is a good chance if I get that 293 clean and soon I might just sell there and take a pretty solid profit. Or sell half and see if we can break the downward trend to push 315-330 area.**
BULLISH
PT #1: 285
PT #2: 293
PT #3: 304
PT #4: 330/342 --- "wait and see if we can break downward trend will be 3rdish time so 50/50 it breaks barring any bad/good news. Also approaching Christmas/Black Friday time.
BEARISH
I think the bearish comes from the obvious part of it not being able to re obtain that 376ish level. We are currently above that other previous low of 372. A break under that signls a possible big downside of 240s. The other factor is the overall market/SPY/Holidays/Feds
PT# 1: 267
PT# 2: 255
PT #3: 244
PT #4: 220 (if we somehow got down 220-240 range I will immediately swap to 100% calls and a huge buy in as the stock would be at such a mind blowing discount.
W - 275+ BOUND - WAYFAIRAll,
I think W after latest crazy EPS should rebound out of this broadening descending wedge (very bullish pattern) almost a descending speed arc. I see at least $275 at this. This will be the 4th retest which is the one that breaks typically.
1000% EPS is no joke whatsoever. I think personally we see 190-220 in no time, but for now with the market the way it is I see $275 in reasonable/attainable timeframes.
COST - CostCo - PARABOLIC CURVE COMING TO AN END?Interesting to hear peoples thoughts on this. If you know what I am talking about it will become obvious that this arc might/could end soon. Hard to say with stocks like costco because of their obvious growth nature. In fact, might be more positive during these financial times using costco for bulk/saving money vs others. In general some studies show that parabolic arcs typically retrace 62%.
Of course CostCo is a great/money saving company. However, what goes up must come down. The best stocks/ BTC all do at some point. Any news or bad PR I could see COST getting demolished due to the parabolic nature on the monthly cart.
Let me know your thoughts.
$CRWD $AAL $AFRM $UBER I OptionsSwing WatchlistCRWD 4H I CRWD has been consolidating between $280-$290 after a big run from $240s. Watching for a breakout above ATH as we have uoa betting on a breakout above.
AAL 2H I Down nearly 15% from recent highs, we are seeing AAL trading within a bull flag pattern. We also have a bullish divergence forming on the RS on the 2H time frame.
AFRM 2H I Watching AFRM for a break above ATH. Even though we have a bearish divergence on the RSI, our ALGO picked up bullish activity on AFRM for 11/05.
UBER 2H I Down 10% from recent highs, we now have UBER trading within a bull flag. Watching for a bounce near $42 or a breakout from the bull flag pattern.
Uptrend ChannelWe are in this channel since Oct 6, a doji candle was form in the 4H chart so we can experience a minimal pullback in the following days to the support line. Overall we are in a uptrend and we also broke last ATH at 146. I'm looking to add long positions at 150-151 or after breakout of the resistance line in this channel.
The horizontal lines are standard deviation. The yellow line is the mean and is acting as support right now. I'm not a financial advisor and this is my personal opinion. Have a great trading week! NASDAQ:AFRM
My Trading Mantra: "Follow the Money "I believe one of the best indicators to watch is Volume Price..!
You should try to invest where money flows in..!
In trading and investing your mantra should always be: Follow the money..!
I believe stock prices only go up when there are fresh players who bring money to the play, regardless of the quality of the underlying asset!
One of the most important duties you have as a trader or investor is to monitor the money flow in the market to find out emerging opportunities!

AFRM probably to close gapGood chance we see AFRM push towards the 223 levels to close gap, and possibly test new highs from there. In general there is strong momentum behind this name from good partnership with amazon and good earnings report.
Today, There is a chance if the general market sentiment is low for it to retest the support (shown on the arrows) and from there bounce back up later today or perhaps next week.
Good ways to build a nice trade here.
(Not trading advice, just my humble thoughts)
Win Big and Lose Small storyAugust 2021, was one of the best months for me.
While Major indexes (NASDAQ, S&P 500, Dow Jones, Russell 2000) gained between 1.5-4 %, I had 8 analyses with a 10-73% gain in one month, those which hit stop loss made 1- 4% loss..!
I also trade BABA option twice and close them with +180 and 100% profits..! and had 2 unsuccessfull trade with -30% loss
(use 3% of my capital for each trade)
I publish this review to talk about one of the most important habits(strategies) in trading.

From a statistical point of view, it is very unlikely to made loss between March 2020 and February 2021.
Episode 5: Market become less inefficient
In a trended market (inefficient market) most tickers are positive on most of the trading days..! so making money is more probable than loosing it even for novice traders!
Problems start when corrections start, novice traders start changing their positions to find the bullish tickers that gave them the same good feeling.
They do not know market behaves in cyclical patterns and they experience multiple corrections by chasing for the best bullish movees.

Novice Trader 4: Stop trading, start learning, and promise themselves not to start trading unless they have a fully defined strategy with good backtesting results. (less than 5% of all people)
Nash Equilibrium:
What Is Nash Equilibrium?
Nash equilibrium is a concept within game theory where the optimal outcome of a game is where there is no incentive to deviate from the initial strategy. More specifically, the Nash equilibrium is a concept of game theory where the optimal outcome of a game is one where no player has an incentive to deviate from their chosen strategy after considering an opponent's choice.
Overall, an individual can receive no incremental benefit from changing actions, assuming other players remain constant in their strategies. A game may have multiple Nash equilibria or none at all.(Investopedia)
What Is a Zero-Sum Game?
Zero-sum is a situation in game theory in which one person’s gain is equivalent to another’s loss, so the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. A zero-sum game may have as few as two players or as many as millions of participants. In financial markets, options and futures are examples of zero-sum games, excluding transaction costs. For every person who gains on a contract, there is a counter-party who loses.(Investopedia)
Conclusion :
Traders can make decisions and hurt themselves if they deviate from their main strategy based on Nash Equilibrium.
Most Important Question any trader should ask her/himself:
What is my strategy to make money in the market?

AFRM UpdateAffirm - sold and closed out of it today hoping for a gap fill of some sort so I can re-buy. Average cost was $64 on AFRM.
I bought because big time traders were pissing all over it on Twitter but since they dont visit consumer sites - they didn't see it. I saw Affirm logo on many many e-commerce stores and Amazon's big stamp of approval just showed that Affirm is the winner.
I will be honest, I have been very nervous about it from day one but not once thought of selling, instead added on the dip. In fact, I am even questioning why I decided to sell today. Anyways, will rebuy lower if Powell lets me. Neutral at the moment to see what price actions tells me next.
