Nice iH&S looking to complete on Apache (APA)Just wanted to point out a pattern I am watching to complete. APA is currently approaching the neckline of an inverse head and shoulders on increasing volume. Watch for a break above $50 on big volume.
APA
$APA Apache - C&H Pattern$APA Apache - C&H Pattern. Confirmation will be support holding/successful retest at 43.40
Near term targets on chart
APA long oil reboundI went long APA today at 41.92. oil has been rebounding the last weeks and i missed it. Still lots of rooms to the upside.
watch RIG, DO, CRZO, SLCA, HCLP, EMES, SND, OAS, REN, ERX, UWT and some more.
APA is a buy on this scaleEven though long term view is a bit unclear to me, but I think this chart showed a change of momentum at least on a weekly basis.
Would use option to play the earnings.

Is Oil About To Turn Higher? This Chart Says Yes! Oil has been under non-stop pressure for the last few weeks, falling from new $55 to the $47 range. Talk is becoming overly bearish and that may be a great signal to buy. Another signal that oil may be headed up is the stock chart of Apache Corporation (NYSE:APA). The bullish combination of major support stretching back to August 2016 and a bullish inside bar (flag) pattern signals upside on the stock. If Apache Corporation is headed higher, you better believe oil is going to get a bounce as well.

GBPCAD to the downsideI'm looking at the downtrend to continue as PA is confirming down off a daily supply ( resistance zone). could also be a nice place to form a trendline area in the future.https://www.tradingview.com/x/zv7pHFeh/
2 long patterns almost complete for $APA?This is a monthly chart (WIP) with 2 very long patterns I will be watching it for buying opportunities below $39
Super Not-Sexy Swing Trade - $APA - Apache Corp lower APA had a quick drop to this $70-78 consolidation range after a 104.57 top on 7/31. A lot of room to go lower below the 10/15 low ($68.29). I got filled on one (delta 0.63) JAN15 75 Puts for $5.00. I don't have any idea what the company does (don't care), just looking at the chart.
Risk - sell stop when underlying stock price is above $78.65. If that is not ever filled, adding a 30 day time stop to get out. Time stops are good for straight bought options because that can turn into a pretty large theta decay loser if it doesn't go up or down.
Target- A double? Using a trail stop method in it's infancy.
Disclaimer: This is also a trade for me to get my cash portfolio delta lower. May not be your cup of tea for your situation.
