4AMAT trade ideas

Applied Materials Another unpublished ideaI had posted this to my personal page. I had seen this double pattern happen a few times going back. I ended up missing the bottom by a bit but feel I still got in at a good spot. (*Note this was my first ever stock purchase) Since the run up has happened quicker than expected I am not sure what to think. It would seem another small correction is coming like in the circle. After that another strong uptrend. I will try to update with a new trend after some more data. I see great potential with AMAT and feel its a good long term investment.

The lowest price target is 70.00 US-dollar. Today AMAT’s stock price is about 60.03 US-Dollar a share.

Oscillator: The RSI is around 80 - overbought! Price Indicator: The stock price is above the SMA200 ($50). Trend indicator: The MACD is currently in the positive zone. The risk management tool used here is the own-developed “Traffic Signals System” (TSS) and is preferably used in analyzes by Ritschy Dobetsberger.

Based on the fundamental and chart analysis, the company has a great potential to grow further sustainably and profitably. Therefore, this position trading idea is started here!

AMAT - Apr.'18 Exp. Put Vertical Credit SpreadTrade details: 47/42 Put Vertical Credit Spread @ $0.98 Prob. of Max Profit = 69.49% Prob. of Max Loss = 13.53% Break-even @ $46.02 114 D.T.E. Trade plan: Similar bias as NVDA trade (check it out below). Entry by oversold + support/resistance analysis Expecting $48.00 support level to survive possible test before earnings report in Feb.'18 for an uptrend continuation before Apr.'18 expiration. Using longer duration for some more premium + allow for adjustment if trade goes very wrong. Expecting spread to expire worthless but will take early profit + place new trade with same bias around earnings if IV swells premium up enough to give an edge.

Force Index HistogramThe Force Index (By Alexander Elder)is a price-and-volume oscillator that helps technical analysts determines if a stock's trend is strengthening or weakening. It is calculated based on the raw Force Index (difference between today's close and yesterday's close times today's volume) and smoothing it with an exponential moving average. Signals If the Force index is above zero (GREEN) it signals that the bulls are in control. Negative (RED) Force index signals that the bears are in control. If the bar near zero index or whipsaws around zero, it signals that neither side has control and no strong trend exists. Go long if the Force index is GREEN and there is a bullish divergence. Go short if the Force index is RED and there is a bearish divergence.
