WYNN - thoughts? Looks like an objective short to me. But it
also looks like it's somewhat setup to form a higher low this time.
I'm not great with counting waves, but I roughly count recently
completing 5 waves down and now potentially just completed wave A
in a counter trend bear rally? Disclosure: I'm short 85
puts (effectively long from $83 PPS).

TLSA short put or long? I've been short the DEC 855 since the
Monday after the Elon weekend poll. Hit 61% of potential
profit today. Tried to take it off but didn't get filled (and I
forgot to circle back and adjust my bid).

Longer term Cup & Handle? I don't know the specifics that go
into validating various patterns. Do you see ETH and maybe BTC
setting up on longer term charts? On the flip side - potential
double tops? Double top seems unlikely but that's definitely my
bias speaking, not technical or fundamental analysis.

Than
ks Matt! Love the educational videos you post and really
appreciate the overall experiene as well. That probably
didn't come across from my post in the middle of the night
yesterday when I was stressed about the upcoming week ;) One thing
you could have mentioned that would be completely valid (In my
opinion) is the value that comes from the systems trades that are
sent only to subscribers. I know the system trades aren't 100%
because I've checked the stats, but it sure has seemed like it. I
mostly use the signals as opportunities to lift some put protection
(vice versa if it's a short signal)...but a win is a win. Hedging
can be problematic because the moment I should be taking it off or
lightening up is most often the time I start getting
emotional and
want to add protection vs taking profits on what I have in place.
The system alerts provide a valuable check. Note: In
a perfect world, maybe sometime in the future, I'd love to see the
newsletter in video format. Watching your mouse pointer
movements is very helpful. Otherwise, I find myself often pausing
the newsletter to try and figure out exactly what you are talking
about. However, I would defintiely want bookmarks on the video.
Some people do this on YouTube videos but I'm not sure how
difficult, or expensive it is to accomplish.

YouTube vs Standard newsletter: hopefully paid subscribers
retain some benefit other than this forum? Please try
watching a subscriber version of a newsletter sometime soon when
you're planning to post to YouTube as well. I think that you may be
in You Tube viewer prespective mode and not realizing that your
paid suscribers (trying to digest things quickly for the
upcoming week) are getting a bit shorthanged by a lot of
commentary centered around mouse movements that I/we can't see with
the newsletter version behind the paywall. I completely get the
marketing push, but I personally would prefer it doesn't downgrade
my paid experience. FWIW, I love the idea of video.....I watch an
online tradnng site about 80% of every trading day and love it -
but there are a LOT of them and I don't pay a dime for any of them.
Anyway, for me it's important to be able to click through the parts
of the newsletter I want to watch. That makes the "new" version of
the newsletter behind the paywall the best option for me...except
when I can't track what you're trying to communicate because it's a
YouTube perspective.
Thanks for the detail! I didn't have a chance to watch the
newsletter last night. Will catch up today. My brochure on the
Broker Check website says I'm a "portfolio manager." When I was
forming my RIA the regulator pushed me for details about my fee
structure for "financial planning." I was so burnt out with the
process thatI ended up saying that I would only engage in portfolio
management (fee only basis). Kind of a strange way for a CFP to
register, but portfolio management is what I enjoy the most...and
standing up a 1 man RIA is a bit of a compliance nightmare.
Wasn't making any accusations. I watch probably 50% of the
videos each week and often try to match up my charts to yours, but
can't (limitations witth moving average types offered on charting
platform, etc). I don't remember seeing this trendline as a
potential target but I've been sharing it with worried clients for
about a week now. We'll see if it holds. Do you see a potential ABC
pattern in that pullback?
Love this system. I took profits on a lot of put protection at
the close yesterday. I was configured bearishly for a few weeks and
was actually making money...but would have gotten crushed today
without that trigger.
Crazy. I try and explain risk to clients by using longer term
charts like this with the 50 and 200 drawn in...but it's hard for
many to get their head around the idea that it's actually
possible.
QQQ Put volume pretty huge but ratio is only at 1.3 to the put
side. Big action between NOV 300 & 310 puts. Could be traders
betting on declines to that level (another 10 - 15% down), or just
taking advantage of the higer IV's? Always a guess when it comes to
that.

Actually did a 420/440 spread vs a naked short. I bought the 440's to define my risk and decrease the hit to margin.
