General Pathways - Inevitability. Maxis Unite BITCOIN
is the Truth of All things and
brings all Evil to Light at the end of the day.
One cannot debate this any longer.
What more can they throw at BTC really besides nuclear armament? Which we all know is extremely unlikely as the leaders prefer not to demise in a fiery death just as much as anyone else. Why not go Balls Long in Bitcoin right now? This is why, because the market is going to move the way
We the Bitcoiners want it to. IN a SERPENTINE like fashion
rather. Peace to Alan ( Watts, Maman, and others)

Riding the Bears For a Little TOO LONG :( - 04/30/20 RECAPHi traders,
Thursday was a pretty decent up day, ruined only by a bit of greed from my side in the AMD Short trade. But even after missing the best exit of the day, I squeezed a little extra from my typical RRR setting.
The Trades:
1) NEO - LONG @28.35 - Unusual situation that I decided to go LONG into on the breakout pattern above 28.32. Sadly after the market pushing lower, NEO eventually gave in. -1.1%
2) AMD - SHORT @53.08 - A typical breakdown formation that stopped 2 cents shy of my hard-set PT so I exited manually before close. +2.24%
*In my ID trades, I risk 1% of the account per trade and go for 2% (2:1 RRR ). Sometimes I adapt a little bit as you can see in the trades' description.*
Total PnL for the day: +1.14%
Total PnL for the week: +1.09%
Good trades,
Tom | FINEIGHT
4th Trade: APERAM and its Unusual VolumeShorting Amsterdam listed Aperam (APAM) is the 4th trade in the challenge. Unusual volume was the first reason this stock caught my eye. Before its most recent pullback, the stock's volume increased heavily (indicating possible insider selling). Coupled with a short on the B52 Strategy and the AlphaR strategy, this stock looks to continue test support levels. Will it breakdown or is this a false signal? Once again, instead of an actual short, I utilised Options.

LSK has yet to be exposed to real moneyLSK has had a hell of a time trying to gain traction as some individual or a group of actors appear to be pumping at strategic moments and then draining the market of profits. However... Recently, we had a drip without a recovery. This could indicate that a pump is coming soon. Beware of the bear. These wicks are far too long for this to be a large enough market to which it can resist these large swings in price.
The RVI has been low for quite some time and it is unusual that after a relaunch that LSK should still be down this far. However, due to the already widely accepted coding language, I would expect that LSK will become a short-term favorite for block chain applications to be tested before attempting to recode into a lesser known code. Again, it is unusual that the market would react to the relaunch with such skepticism.
We are however testing a support line once again. March could be a whole new ball game for LSK, for better or worse. This is the point at which one should be considering their positions if they have recently invested.

Unusual Option Activity:
We define unusual option activity as large block trades that represent a large percentage of daily option volume. The block trade is considered “unusual” if the option volume is above the average daily volume over the past 22 days. At KeeneOnTheMarket.com we scan and analyze order flow from all of the major options exchanges in order to identify any unusual option activity.
Analyzing unusual order flow gives traders a window into what the positions that large institutional players have. The majority of unusual option activity can be traced back to hedge funds, mutual funds, and other large institutions. Knowing where these institutions are placing their bets can be hugely advantageous for any trader. These institutions have informational and technological advantages that the average trader doesn’t have, and the amount of time and analysis that goes into every one of their trades is substantial. We offer this service through our 7 hour daily LIVE trading room bit.ly or through Premium Twitter feed with all entries, exits, and unusual options activity tweeted all day long: bit.ly .
Order flow can however at times be deceiving. One might logically thing that a large block buyer of calls is bullish on the underlying. This is not always the case. Remember that a large number of participants in the equity options market are hedgers. Long calls are a hedge against short stock, and long puts are a hedge against long stock. With this in mind we have developed a 7 step trading plan that helps filter out unusual option activity that will not provide actionable trade setups. It is by using this plan that we are able to identify the most significant unusual options activity trades every day.
