ZS Zscaler Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold ZS here:
then Analyzing the options chain of ZS Zscaler prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 130usd strike price at the money Calls with
an expiration date of 2023-6-9,
for a premium of approximately $7.60
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Getting close to another support level on $DJI, SCALPING onlyAs stated many times, in & out. Get as much as you can and then WAIT, be PATIENT IF you want to hold longer. It could be a while before we get another good longer term buy opportunity.
As stated before, SCALPING quick moves.
Most of these were not huge moves BUT Put premiums did lessen & provided 10-25% in minutes.
$MSFT went from 249 - 252
$ZS 106 - 108.5
$TSLA 170 -177
$COIN 53-55.2
$RUN 21.9 - 22.95
Picked up some gold miners $BTG $KGC Possible consolidation in the industry.
$DJI bouncing off Support levelEarly this open
RSI looks ok & is oversold. Not buy much but it's been a good amount of selling
Took advantage of this dib & went on buying spree. As we've been saying for some time, IN & OUT, scalps & short term trades.
We've also been SELLING PUTS to help reduce risk by bringing premium in. If the premium subsides a good amount we cover.
Not looking for home runs.
We should have an okay day today but a lot of damage has been done to #stocks.
$MSFT $TSLA $ZS $UDOW $TQQQ $RUN
Beginning to nibble on #GOLD miners $BTG $KGC $FNV doing well today
$DJI dip bought yesterday paying off, $NDX #stocks BOUNCINGYesterday pointed out that we were using cash on that dip
We had sold decent amount couple days before from the longs of last week.
Bought (Sold puts) $MSFT $UDOW $TQQQ $RUN $ZS and others
With rates increasing & #FED staying hawkish how are we not going lower?
Maybe not here but we've stated before MANY times that #markets don't work, especially now, the way most think.
It's psychology & BIG MONEY moves how they see it.
$DJI can very well stay RANGEBOUND for a bit. Stayed this way for 2 weeks in December.
The indices are "easier" to track so find your fav company and use indices to trade around it.
$TSLA intraday trade YESTERDAY, NO longer want after $NDX hitAll this documented
Check profile for more data

10am Yesterday---
187 is support, going to start nibbling $TSLA here
WITH TIGHT LEASH
------------------------
1026AM updated
Interesting that $VIX isn't moving
Did the $TSLA & will likely just try & scalp some points
$187 is a decent area
Sold short March 17, 190 puts, were $9 bucks!
$TQQQ done for quick trade, looking to close soon
$NDX
------------------------
1048AM
DONE!!!
$TSLA Sold $9 covered @ $7
$TQQQ done as well
Even more cash than yesterday
Will WAIT & see, maybe get few more scalps here & there
Looking @ #Tesla $ZS $TQQQ & others for re-entry but patient
---------------------
TODAY NO LONGER INTERESTED IN $TSLA
$NDX looks weak, middle of trend & $TSLA doesn't look like it wants to hold
Will revisit 167ish
TOFU FuturesI posted Cattle futures earlier, but I realize some of my followers may be vegetarian.
Tofu futures also trending up, and I would expect it to bust out to new highs if the Fed doesn't go .50% today. Inflation is not gone, just dipped like this chart did. Trend is once again UP, not down.
The Fed is incompetent and looks at trailing data instead of futures, so I think they screw up just like they did a couple of years ago.

ZS massive channelMassive descending channel on ZS with a possible retest of upper trendline.
If you zoom in on a smaller time frame (1HR) you can clear see some resistance at 163.94 / 164 level. This level has been holding for a week now.
If that level breaks, there is not much resistance until 186 which is 5/22 lows and trendline from the highs in December. A great R:R trade.
$BUG Good Cybersecurity BarometerIf you like the cyber security space, you can trade BUG or use it as a barometer as it's comprised of names such as PANW , CROWD ,ZS, etc.
I like this fund because... it's cheap. PANW is trading at almost $600 , options aren't cheap (JUN 620c is 28.4 or $2,840 a contract).
However if you wanted to go long on BUG JUN $32 calls they are trading at about 1.10 ($110) !
Technically, BUG has broken down from the upward channel and is currently trading below the weekly 30day moving average.
Bullish Scenario : Price breaks back into the upward channel , in which case an idea would to be go long with an initial PT of $38
Bearish Scenario : Price rejects at the channel / 30day moving average and we see the next leg down with an initial PT of $25
Of course, with each scenario one could go short / long in one of the individual stock names for a higher R/R trade
Idea about $ZSZscaler is a cloud-based information security company. The company has more than 100 data centers with clients in 185 countries around the world. Most of the clients are located in the United States. Revenue of $673 million (2020). Capitalization of $51.2 billion.
A deal for a false breakout of the extremum ($376).
1) The closing of the daily candle is far from the extreme
2) Approach to the level on candles significantly exceeding the ATR
Short: $376.2
Target: $361
Stop above $381
NOT IRR.
Soybeans: Close to a buy signal once again...The last time we had a perfect storm situation to buy grains, we had a monster rally in both corn and beans. We are now in a similar situation, with the recent surge in Nat Gas affecting fertilizer prices. Weather in Brazil is problematic and China is struggling to produce grains locally...We are once again nearing a situation where reward to risk for buying into grains is tremendous. I'm long Corn futures already for a couple days and waiting for the daily chart to trigger a technical buy signal in Nov Beans to go long as well.
The last weekly signal expires by next week, as a failure, price hit really oversold levels and reached monthly support (see green shaded area). Implications are a retest of the weekly down trend mode (as shown by the arrow on chart), at least, which can then evolve into a new weekly uptrend, once the daily trend turns up. And potentially trigger a new monthly signal similar to the one we had before...This is an interesting juncture to enter long term positions in grain futures.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
