Selling

Sterling Sell OpportunitiesAwaiting a pull back and an exhausted bull candle to trigger a sell. It isn't clear if price will simply continue down or pull back to allow an ideal entry however keep an eye out as price approaches the 50% fib as it's likely traders will liquidate short positions which will allow for a pull back and re-entry to the downside. Brexit fears and what I expect will be a dovish BOE statement this week coming should put more pressure on Sterling to the benefit of the downside.

PREMIUM SELLNG: NEXT WEEK REMAINS A "WASTELAND"Another week of wasteland for premium selling, with EWZ again topping the volatility charts for non earnings plays, although I may go small with an IWM setup in the May monthly (it's the most volatile amongst the index ETF's, which ain't saying much). I've got one more short-term RUT/IUX setup on that I will need to address, but other than that, it's going to be a light week trading wise from where I'm sitting right now. Although you can naturally dip your toe into some of the more volatile individual underlyings pre earnings, my preference is to keep powder dry until the actual announcement is upon us before diving in, and there simply isn't anything on next week's earnings calendar that meets my standards for "options playability." So, in the absence of some monumental sea change here, I'm going to be mostly hand sitting for the week on options plays, but may dabble with scalping /ES intraday and/or look for another opportunity to go long volatility in a VIX derivative, assuming we get to around VIX 13-ish.
