Spy LEAPS

I  don't have much experience with options other then doing  basic buy call/put options when the Spy System triggers, but I had the idea to look at LEAPs for Spy, with the purpose of buying when we are in an uptrend, the S&P corrects say 10% or so and the Spy System has triggered. The reason for a LEAP would be then I can hold for a longer move where with buying a few months out there's obviously the time factor decay issue.  The thought is to still sell it for a profit a few months after buying. Curious if anyone else buys LEAPS on indexes, and how much time do you have before time decay starts taking much effect?

Algo! Algo! Which way will you go?

Sorry, couldn't resist, it's the time of year

BOIL bubbling up.

RBLX - strong despite selloff in the markets

follow up - nice hard sell off and now nice hard bounce off that low - question is this a wave B forms lower high etc

however I expected the bounce off those washout intra day lows to be fairly strong - for example using the MA ribbons/BPT MA Deluxe and BB example on a 5 min

price you see that BPT MA so far from the ribbons, typically your bounce won't just be some small bear flag- but more of a larger retracement - you can see how the BPT MA was also outside the Bollinger Bands there at the low

one trigger for a long on that is either off a candle or when the BPT MA goes green

As you know for a long time many years, we've shown the MA ribbons on Stockcharts - which are useful for nothing when they are pinching or getting too wide, or when they flip from a bullish to bearish configuration or vice versa.

On Tradestation since we have the BPT MA Deluxe - we place that on the MA ribbons to give it an even more striking visual effect for the last 1.5 years

In Tradestation we watch the BPT MA and how it stretches away from the 4 MA Ribbon - in stockcharts - we only have the ribbon itself

that said - while you can see when the BPT MA Deluxe gets to far away from the MA ribbon, it's also subjective - difficult to quantify it.

I was playing around and placed Bollinger Bands on the BPT MA Deluxe with ribbons and this appears visually to give nice signals - most of the times when you see the BPT MA Deluxe get too stretched away from the MA Ribbon - the BPT MA will also go outside of the Bollinger Bands - thus giving more of an objective signal, here's a couple examples

ABNB - Chart Link- broke down to test its 200 day MA

had a sell cycle on the daily - and Demark 13 on the 1/2 day then Armature buying

JNK - Chart Link- to me this has been my concern

$SPX - Chart Link- and compares it to the SPX

the two generally are highly highly correlated to one another - that big divergence is concerning 

C'mon you can do it, DIS. Let's see some follow through

$VVIX fyi. Won't cross 110 unless this selling is sustained today. Remains to be seen. UPDATE: Was just seen: $VVIX at 110.67. A buy program this afternoon could negate that, of course

SPY - Chart Link-

$SPX - Chart Link-

$SPX - Chart Link-

QQQ - Chart Link-

DIS - Chart Link- trying this time

DIS - Chart Link-

As you might expect, $VIX broke out of wedge on the hourly

$SPX - Chart Link- see chart

DIS at the support line - 30-minute snapshot

$NYAD has been pretty strong today. $NAAD on the other hand broke down out of the coil and is still below after a small bounce. 15-minute snapshots
