Rolling: IWM January 7th 222C/232P to January 28th 219C/231P... for a 2.61 credit.
Comments: Rolling my January 7th 10-wide inverted short strangle out until after the holidays to a 12-wide, but improving the short put strike a smidge. Total credits collected of 16.48, so I'm functionally long the 231's with a cost basis of 231 - 16.48 = 214.52. Put another way, my share price break even is 214.52, so I'll need movement above that level to have it work out.

Still in the neutral zone, with technicals pointing down.
Let me know your thoughts and what you guys are doing.
Have fun!!

I usually trade both ways, but lately I’ve been focusing more to the downside because of how high the market is. It makes more sense to sell puts right now, and I’m usually at Target 2.

I am not your financial advisor, but I will happily answer questions and analyze to the best of my ability but ultimately the risk is on you. Check out my ideas, but also do your own due diligence.
I am not a bull. I am not a bear. I just see what I see in the charts and I don’t pay too much attention to the noise in the news.
Very often you have to look at my charts from the perspective of where I’m looking to sell puts. But I also do open positions still once in a while.
If you want me to analyze any stock or ETF just leave me a comment and I’ll do it if I can.
Have fun, y’all!!

Target 1 was hit beautifully… so taking it out onto the 1W 5Y chart target 2 looks like a nice place to sell puts at this time. I would happily start a position there. Right now it’s kind of in the neutral zone, but technicals are pointing to down.

Opening (IRA): IWM January 21st 200 Short Put... for a 2.35 credit.
Comments: Premium is not as good as it was last week (current 30-day implied is at 29.6%), but the 16 delta strike's still paying better than 1% as a function of strike price. Will generally look to take profit at 50% via close or roll out.
$sofii've actually been eying this stock for maybe a month now, i dont short or play puts so i waited patiently for entry. today i bought 400 shares and i am looking for this to make highs back to $22-$25. sofi seems to have a good army of investors and institutional holders. this could become a long term hold if bank charter news creeps closer anytime soon!
es\rty 12\3 update~good morning,
the bulls came in clutch in this last second to put in the fifth leg of a sloppy leading diagonal into wave (1) of a higher degree
this in my eyes confirms a break of downtrend, and the dip that comes is for buying.
expect a deeper dip than usual, as there is still very strong selling pressure, but don't be afraid of it.
i don't think we take out of the local lows.
dip might not come today, but i got a feeling we gonna get it sometime soon.
To Buy The Dip or Not To Buy The Dip - Place Your Bets!So here's your stock market correction update:
S&P 500 -5%
Nasdaq-100 -7%
Russell 2000 -13%
Pick your bottoms carefully.
I generally think that a -10% correction is a great drawdown point to start entering. But, at the same time, some individual stocks have been totally crushed from Zoom to Palantir and Peloton and more. These big, pandemic, names have been cratering 30%, 40% and 50%. Just look around the market and you will see that it is a stock picker's bear market!
The three charts above showing the indexes that I am most interested in:
S&P 500
Nasdaq-100
Russell 2000
I don't show the Dow because it is just 30 companies. There are over 5,000 stocks in the market today and even more cryptocurrencies. I really don't want to compare just 30 companies no matter how large they are. I am not interested.
All that matters now to me is where the bottom will be found.
Small caps are -13% and they tend to be my favorite playing field. So I am looking deeply into that world.
But also the Nasdaq-100 is down 7% from its highs. Let's just I've set an alert for the Nasdaq-100 and the moment it hits -10%. I think that will be an interesting choice.
Thanks for reading!

PWSC Bull$PWSC
Is a ticker to keep on your radar. Small cap stock that I see lots of value in at the moment.
Currently in a triangle pattern on the 4HR. Sitting just above the bottom trend line.
Also looks like a falling wedge on the 15 Min chart, watching this end of day.
PWSC has shown lots of strength recently during the market sell off & volatility. Either way watching this for the break up or down, whichever comes first I will ready.
As long as $20 holds I will be in calls with time. I’m bullish.
VIX VIX is a fear gauge for the market
Breaking out of this purple angle warrants some worries. If we manage to give back the current high then we can say we can move onto a risk-on environment.
There is a sector rotation happening right now tech seems to be fading its strength and filling some gaps while some of the first sellers are finding support
