SH: Hedging my portfolio with SH longsI reccomend purchasing $SPY puts, and/or going long SH at market open tomorrow.
We can use a stop loss at 38.36, which is rather tight but safe, and go short risking 0.5-1% of the account.
All in all, the range expansion validation target failed to confirm the bullish momentum in SPX, so I'm inclined to revert back to shorting it. We might be soon to validate the $DJIA terminal pattern from related ideas too, lower probability, but still within the realm of probability.
That being said, I don't want to close my longer term fundamental/technical stock longs, so, I choose to protect my exposure with $SPY puts, and $SH longs. All in all, factoring in the dividends, and the speculative shorts and puts, there is extremely low risk in holding the trades for longer, even during this pre-election period and beyond.
Good luck with the BOJ today, and tomorrow with FOMC, trade safely.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
Spy short for the next few monthsKey support to watch is going to be $199 if it breaks that then it will be heading much lower. My guess is the next support level will be around $187. The floor has been $187 so far and I will have a order ready to trigger for that. Just be cautious this could tern into a true bear market very fast.
