4 LESSONS from Disney as a trader and Upside to comeI’m well in my thirties and Disney is still just as magical to me as it was when I was a kid.
When I was 15, one of the happiest days of my life was walking into Disney world.
The excitement lead to jumping, screaming and so much excitement not knowing where to start!
Anyways, Disney has been an icon in the entertainment industry for decades.
And they have delivered and shared unique and magical experiences and captivating stories to you, me and everyone around the world.
It’s definitely on my bucket list to go back to Disney world again. But today, I want to share some of the Disney’s principles can be applied to trading the financial markets and help traders develop a successful and profitable strategy.
Diversification with Disney versus Financial Markets:
Disney has a diverse portfolio of theme parks, resorts, hotels, products, services and franchises.
As traders we really need to open our options and diversify our portfolios in all different markets and instruments.
If you rely on ONE market or one country, you will not be able to spread and limit the risk during tumultuous times.
Just as Disney has a wide range of offerings to appeal to different audiences, us as traders should have a variety of investments to suit our personal trading style and risk tolerance.
Strong Brands applies to both
Disney has built a reputation as a trusted and reliable brand, and traders can learn from this by creating a watchlist of markets and securities that align with their trading strategy.
When you see the famous logo, the magical characters, princesses, cute animals – we just know it’s Disney.
When we here the Wish upon a star song or see Tinkerbell – we know.
As traders we need to also focus on the strongest brands.
Blue chip companies from shares.
Highest liquid (volume) traded currencies, indices, commodities.
Most reliable, legit, regulated and trustworthy exchanges.
High demand, volume traded and strong crypto currencies with promising prospects
Low costs, fees, conditions with trading instruments (i.e. Spread Trading and CFDs).
Stay innovative and you’ll have the edge!
Disney has always been at the forefront of innovation.
Whether it’s through its cutting-edge rides, products, restaurants, or even its Disney Plus TV streaming service.
Similarly, traders should strive to stay ahead of the curve by using the latest technology and tools to trade the markets.
This could include using advanced charting software, automated trading systems, or utilizing machine learning algorithms to analyze data.
TradingView is one of the only charting platforms that I have seen innovate on a weekly basis!
By embracing innovation, traders can stay ahead of the competition and stay ahead of market trends.
Staying True to Disney staying True to YOU!
At its core, Disney is all about staying true to its unique style and storytelling.
As I mentioned earlier. You can just tell it’s Disney.
Traders can learn from this by developing their own trading personality and risk profile, and sticking to it no matter what the market conditions may be.
Just as Disney has remained true to its vision for decades, traders should stay true to their own trading strategy, even in the face of market volatility and uncertainty.
You can now see how Disney’s timeless principles apply their success and how we can learn from them as traders to optimise, improve and level up our own financial success.
And on that note, Disney is also heading up!
Cup and Handle has shown, price has broken above.
We can see the first target at least - showing strong momentum to come.
But more on that next time!
May the Fourth Be With You - And your Stop losses!Star Wars has been around since 1977 which was written and directed by George Lucas.
During that time, there have been phenomenal quotes, lessons and adventures that have been shared.
Instead of telling you different lessons Star Wars can teach you about trading.
How about I share some quotes and how you can apply them?
Here are the ones I find are the most applicable.
#1: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
Use this as a reminder to stay confident in your trades, even when the market is unpredictable. Have faith in your strategy. Have faith in your commitment. Have faith in your strong mindset.
#2: "Your focus determines your reality."
Stay focused on your trading goals and strategy. It’s not about what others see. It’s not about what others feel. It’s about you in your own work station, planning, preparing and executing accordingly.
#3: "Do or do not, there is no try."
Commit fully to your trades, rather than hesitating or second-guessing. When it’s lined up, ACTION.
When you see a trade setups, write them down and prepare for execution. Don’t try… DO!
#4: "Fear is the path to the dark side."
Stay level-headed and not let fear or panic drive your trading decisions. Fear doesn’t exist. Only danger does. We are fearful most times in our head when there is no apparent danger. Remember this when you feel fear.
#5: "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck."
Successful trading is based on skill, probabilities and strategy, not luck.
#"6: The Force will be with you, always."
Here’s a reminder that your skills and strategy will guide you through both good and bad trading times. In this case the force is your proven strategy, your will, your commitment and your strong mind.
#7: "You must unlearn what you have learned."
Be open-minded and flexible when it comes to adapting your trading strategy. We learn as sheeple to buy low sell high. While I have gone against the idea and instead BUY HIGH, SELL HIGHER.
Also, when everyone buys, is normally where the Smart Money offloads theirs. And when retail dumb money sells, that’s where Smart money BUYS.

DIS - Breakout Falling Trend Channel- DIS has broken through the ceiling of a falling trend channel in the medium long term.
- This indicates a slower falling rate initially, or the start of a more horizontal development.
- An inverse head and shoulders formation is under development.
- A decisive break of the resistance at 119, ideally with an increase in volume, signals a further rise.
- The stock has broken up through resistance at 100.
- Overall assessed as technically positive for the medium long term.

Disney Short positionOn the chart we can see that the price broke down of the rising channel. It looks like the upsloping support has already failed, therefore we expect that the price go lower.
You can enter the short position now as the support failed.
Target is shown on the chart.
Invalidation of this thesis would be if the price comes back above upsloping support line.
Trade Alert - Long MaticTraders,
You guys know I have been dreaming of a touch on our MATIC May 2021 ascending trendline for months now. Today we got that. And though I missed the .98 cents touch for a buy in, I did get in at a dollar. My target will be at least that $1.53 cents level. Stop out is hard. But I wouldn't want to see anything much lower than that .87 cent level I have marked.
Best to you all,
Stew
DIS is it?!Disney looking to break out of its daily bull flag. The $100 resistance has been rejected for the previous 5 days. If today DIS can close above $100 I believe we can see a move back to $107. I have opened some DIS 4/23 104 Calls as well as longing DIS on gains network (polygon). My stop loss will be roughly 97.5 with PT of 107 with scale out's along the way.
Walt Disney: Is Disney Stock Worth Buying Now?Walt Disney's Stock: A Look at its Recent Challenges and Future Prospects under New CEO Bob Iger
With a market capitalization of around $170 billion, Walt Disney is one of the largest entertainment companies globally. However, with its stock price down over 30 percent from last year, investors may be questioning the value of the company's stock.
After Bob Iger's departure as CEO in February 2020, Bob Chapek took over and pledged to continue Iger's successful path. However, Chapek faced many difficulties, leading to his departure in November 2022 and Iger's return to the CEO role.
Iger made key personnel changes and promised to streamline costs and give creative teams more decision-making authority. Under Chapek's watch, Disney+ saw exponential growth, with 164.2 million subscribers worldwide. Still, it wasn't profitable, and subscriber growth became increasingly difficult in recent quarters, leading to criticism from activist investor Nelson Peltz.
Disney lost 2.4 million Disney+ customers in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the first case of a shrinking subscriber base, prompting Iger to announce a plan to find $5.5 billion in savings in the coming years, including cutting $3 billion from the company's content division.
While Peltz withdrew his proxy challenge after Iger's announcement, some analysts are concerned that Disney's decision to cut content spending could jeopardize future revenue growth, especially as the company plans to appoint a new CEO by early 2025. The company has invested heavily in Disney+, spending around $33 billion in the last fiscal year, and some investors may worry about future growth.
However, the company still boasts a strong park business, with $7.4 billion in revenue in the first quarter, up from $5.5 billion in the previous quarter, and a diverse range of other assets. With Iger back at the helm, investors will be eagerly watching to see what steps the company takes next to address its streaming ambitions and navigate the challenging entertainment industry landscape.

Longsetup for DIS - The Walt Disney CompanyNYSE:DIS
We saw a good amount of call options on Disney with a target of 105 for expiration in May 2023. I think the stock can also be an interesting longterm investment.
DIS has a particularly unique and powerful economic moat. Disney, is of course, known for its media franchises, studio capabilities, parks and direct to consumer streaming app, Disney+.
Disney’s brand is known around the world, and it is thanks to its brilliant flywheel. Children watch Disney movies and become familiar with characters, series, and movies. Their parents bring them to the parks where they have the time of their lives on rides while also meeting the characters from movies. Then they go home and watch Disney content, more connected to the characters than ever. When they grow older and have children of their own the cycle starts again.
Disney is creating content for the adults now too. With Marvel and Star Wars franchises, DIS can entertain the whole family. There are few if any businesses that have connected to people the way Disney has, and that recognition, and those timeless stories and characters are its economic moat.
Disney has been publicly traded since 1962, and its returns since then are astronomical. DIS stock has returned some 80,000% since 1962, which is 20% annualized over 60 years. Over the last 20 years, the performance has been strong as well, but a bit slower than the early years, compounding at about 10%.

Buy Market: 93.00 $
Sell Stop Loss: 120.00
Sell Profit Target: 80.60
When the stock reaches 100.00 $ you can also move the stoploss to your entry price as a breakeven stop or use a trailing stop after reaching this level.
Disney: Fairy Tale Forest 🌲🌳🪄Disney is currently strolling through the dark green fairy tale forest between $103.29 and $88.41, where it should soon finish wave 2 in dark green. Afterward, the share should be enchanted enough to conjure a convincing upwards movement above the resistance at $122.50. There is a 38% chance, though, for Disney to leave the forest on the southern side, dropping below the support at $84.07. In that case, the course would develop a new low in the form of wave alt.II in light green first before starting the ascent.
DISNEY - BEARISH CHANNELThe Walt Disney Company, one of the largest media corporations in the world, has been the subject of a wide variety of criticisms of its business practices, executives, and content. Currently having serious pressure in Florida from Governor De Santy's office, Disney might suffer a chain reaction of investors liquidating and limiting further losses. As politics drive the markets with the highest impact the asset might continue falling. The widening downtrend channel also confirms similar developments.

dis blow off top? | daily bear div presentdisney with a potential blow off top here. last 3 times we've tapped overbought, it's led to significant sell offs.
been in over bought territory since the 23rd. now have a second daily bear div present. expecting a pull back to daily rsi eq. $100 seems reasonable, but long trigger should be the rsi eq tap.
Disney Short Disney play pre-earnings on Wednesday. Overbought, likely rejection of resistance there. If Amazon & Apple's earnings are any indication, big tech are in trouble.
DIS MAR10 110/MAR3 114 DIAGONAL CALLBull Pull Back Set Up:
Disney made a new swing high on the 9th of this month and has since then pull backed to the 20 day with lower volume. 50 day is also rising and with the candlestick we had today, it triggered my entry.
Gonna give this 3 weeks to hit my target of 114. I'm thinking it's going to want to go test 113.50 again and possibly break through it.
So if it gets to 114 before the 3rd, I'll take off 50% of my position.
Come expiration date, if this trading at 114 or higher I'll close out the entire combo. If we are below 114 come the 3rd, I'll manage the 110 call.
If this falls lower, I'm set up for max loss risking only 2%.
DIS Disney Options Ahead of EarningsLooking at theDIS Disney options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $115 strike price Calls with
2023-3-17 expiration date for about
$4.05 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Ticker: DIS Shares from 98 are good for the soul but still kinda boring yet at the same time still has an intriguing upside flow to it. Congratulations to all entries below 100!! Keep printing the rakes everyone!

Walt Disney - NYSE: A technical analysis. Pt1This article is going to look at the Walt Disney Company listed on the NYSE and my outlook on their stock performance for 2023 from a purely technical analysis perspective. I will not go too technically deep but will endeavor to SHOW my prediction for 2023.
From the 1920’s Disney has transformed into a huge multinational with diverse service offerings, and has enjoyed steady growth over the years however the share price in the last few months has eroded some of this growth and 2023 in my opinion will be interesting and I will show you why.
A look at the Walt Disney chart on the weekly timeframe will show something interesting
Now from around Mar 2021, where Disney peaked to around $203, the company has been on a downward trajectory.
Inserting a trend line from Nov ’21 to Dec ’22 which touches the highs, the share price dropped from around $180 to the low $90’s. Label this line AB. Also insert a trend line CB, (Jun '22 to Dec '22) showing the low points before price action reversed up.
Our timeframe is on the weekly chart.
There is an. interesting convergence at point B. (descending trend line and ascending trend line). This price action forms a descending wedge/ cone. Chart pattern analysts will view this as a sign of a trend reversal from falling prices to rising prices. This is what has currently transpired and the price shot up above the descending trend line AB.
The price has risen to the current $111.63 (at time of writing). Does this mean that Disney is now back on the positive trajectory? Well allow me to show some interesting insights.
The current stock price increase though exciting is accompanied by average volumes (not a lot of demand for the stock). The volume has been nothing but fair and not really convincing to show more upside potential in price.
Now if you super –impose another trend line parallel to CB and labelled it DE, it will bring out a channel that might actually form the new path in which price will start moving in potentially. Now in some cases bull run prices that emerge from descending wedges do not break this parallel line, and it would be interesting if Disney does so.
The final technical analysis tool for consideration though simplistic, is the epitome of elementary technical analysis. The moving averages. They have the ability to show support and resistance points.
The 20,50,100,200 SMA on this weekly chart will help make my case for Walt Disney 2023 stock direction. Price action has broken above the 20 SMA and slightly over the 50 SMA (As of this week) however, there are some key resistance levels, that if not broken we will see further downward movement. If the price breaks the $119 level then we could probably see price go as high at $130 and then $170 and beyond.
THE VERDICT
I strongly think Disney will have another tough year on the market, from a technical perspective the stock is one that I would personally SELL in 2023. I have put up 4 scenarios, which are:
Scenario A - price might retrace to around $120 and comeback down to $80or
Scenario B - price goes up to around $143 or
Scenario C price goes up to $168 retrace down $80.
Scenario D which is unlikely might see Disney hit above $200 by Dec 2023.
This technical analysis though not exhaustive might give some interesting insights.
Verdict: - look for SELL opportunities when price action rises. we might close the year below $80.

DIS Pre-Earnings RunDisney is in the retail news a lot these days but the chart has a pre-earnings run in anticipation that Year over Year financials will look a lot better than it did most of 2022. This stock has been as high as $200 a share so it has plenty of room to continue upward.
HOWEVER, it is over-speculated right now so profit-taking on the earnings release, good or bad, and probably a gap, are highly likely.
This is WHY earnings strategies for swing traders require that you prepare 2-4 weeks in advance so that you're already in the stock ahead of the earnings report. There are smaller funds and retail groups in the mix at this point.
DIS ShortI am bearish on DIS.
Trade levels are as follows:
Entry: $110,69
Take profit: $97,28
Stop loss: $116,41
Risk/reward: 2.34
GROM - Tiny OS Highest Short Interest = Short Squeeze ComingGROM has one of the highest reported short interests in the market it briefly squeezed from under 2 to around 4 this week
Then the shorts used the company doing a small 3 MIL offering to attack taking GROM down nearly 40 % on news
This shook many retail but let shorts win for the day, but I don't think this is an opportunity to pick up shares before the shorts get squeezed again
GROM now is left with what still is a relative tiny Shares Outstanding under 7 MIL
GROM now has plenty of cash to execute on its business and grow revenues and a clean balance sheet paid down debt interest
GROM has accomplished management with the connections to really grow this company

In summation I like this STOCK
