IWM trade ideas
IWM and TD Buy SetupIWM formed the reversal pattern with TD Buy Setup at a significant support area. I waited for the bullish price flip signal and decided to use the previous bar as SL. Interestingly, tunnel line and TDST L. is the same level for TP; thus, the following setup has been applied. Don't forget to calculate your position well before trading. Good Luck!
$IWM Small Caps at Inflection PointI don't post a lot about indices because stock setups drive the majority of my decisions.
I leave the general market to folks that r smarter than me.
That said, am aware of inflection points & $IWM small caps is at one.
A level bears want to defend, otherwise, you'll see them panic.
Opened (Margin): IWM 144/154/182/192 Iron Condor... for a 3.34 credit.
Comments: (Late Post). Another "synthetic short strangle" I put on on Friday, with the short legs set up around the 25 delta, the longs out from there to obtain a 50% ROC at max metric. 3.34 credit on buying power effect of 6.66; 50.2% at max; 25.1% at 50% max.
Will primarily look to roll paired legs (short call/long put, short put/long call) to delta balance. For example, the short call finished the day in .52/$52 worth of profit, the long put .43/$43, so I would look to roll the short call and long put down simultaneously to lock in that realized gain and to delta balance.
TOP WAVE STRUCTURE I am still in 100 % CASH > I loved how we held my 3578 .But I am ok with letting this trade show itself >I hit my min target 3511/3490 into the time cycle >BUT I need to see Mr Market show me the MONEY still have to get past the 20/22 then I will be happy . Best of trades ! WAVETIMER
IWM Observation - Potential Reverse Symmetry Move? AMEX:IWM
This isn't a prediction.
In fact, I think a full retrace is unlikely.
However, I want to leave it as an idea to see how the chart unfolds.
Short the RussellThe market is perpetuating low risk taking which makes the Russell a better broad index short than the S&P500. There's more room to the downside for this one to play out. We suggest a smaller position to which one can add incrementally after it makes it's move. The stop loss can also be moved closer to Breakeven to improve on the Ratio.
IWM swing long idea 10/14/22Hey all, as I've been making clear, I suspect a near-term pullback. I am fully planning on buying the dip; here's how I plan on playing IWM and what I am expecting.

What is next?IWM gives us mixed signals.
It gives both bearish and bullish signals, which can be disturbing, but I have a strategy for that too...
But first let's analyse the chart.
A symmetrical triangle is forming after a huge seloff.
Meanwhile, the weekly S2 pivot point (165.77) and the POC (168.51) are squeezing the price into a tighter range.
The tighter it squeezes, the bigger the breakout will be.
At the same time; MACD shows a regular divergence, which is bullish.
The RSI was oversold(<30), now it is back above 30 and rising, which is also a bullish sign.
On the other hand, we are still in a downward trend, so a continuation is possible.
It supports the fact that today's green candle is low in volume, which means that participation is low.
Whatever the situation, I expect a huge breakout in one direction or another.
In my opinion, the "straddle" option strategy is best suited to this situation.
I am playing the 18 Nov 22 169 straddle.
Support: 165.77, 155.58
Resistance: 168.97, 172.63, 178.24
IWM is basing, don't get bearish yetHey all, IWM has stood out to me for both its relative strength despite the dump into the end of September and the basing pattern it has made at a key level. I was trying to play a bounce early last week, and though I was initially up, I am now either red or neutral on every position I have longed, except for IWM, which I am up on *barely*. I expect there to be a bounce across markets in October; the question, in my eyes, remains when & how substantive; if I had to answer those questions now, I think we put in a bottom early this week, and I am looking for a roughly ~9% bounce on the S&P. As my key reference point, I am looking to 2008. I think we have a ~9% deat cat(S&P) bounce before an accelerated sell-off, similar to 2008. I think trading long here on the Russell is a very solid risk:reward trade.
IWM | SHORT AMEX:IWM
I expect a drop to 160$ and then a rally to 190$ area to fill the gap and touch MA200.
For now it looks bearish, but tomorrow we will find out, I have no position at the moment, waiting for the confirmation.
IWM if you lose 160's If you lose the support and bottom made today during the sell-off. Then i see no real help maybe just a pit stop at 150 ranges before ending up in the 140's.
HOWEVER, it looks like support has held and we should be getting close to seller's exhaustion. I'm looking for a bounce back towards 175 range but not to exceeed 190 before running into overhead R.

Update (IRA): IWM Sept 30th 177/Nov 18th 200 Long Put DiagonalComments: Just updating my short delta hedge (See Post Below) in IWM so that it appears more toward the top of my ideas queue ... . As of the last short leg roll: Cost basis of 22.58 with a 177.42 break even on a 23 wide.
As you can see, price has pushed up quite a bit into the long leg of the setup, but I'll keep rolling the short leg out to reduce cost basis and look to roll the long leg up and out if I run out of time and/or don't get the move I need (i.e., back through the short leg of the setup; this may be somewhat of a tall order at this point, that's 18 strikes below where IWM is currently trading). At the moment, doing this would cost me (and will probably cost me when I actually go ahead and do it). For example, rolling the November 18th 200 long to the December 16th 230 (90 delta), would cost 28.69 at the mid price, increasing my cost basis to 51.27 on a resulting 53 wide with a 178.73 break even (a slight improvement over my current 177.42 break even).
I've still got 7 potential rolling opportunities of the short leg from week to week, so will cross that bridge when I come to it ... .
IWM daily short long day candleSetting up short after bearish gap and go in hope for retest of the candle, not the gap. Wave 5 down. I mean, look at this volume. I hope this is not an exhausting yet )))
