Last week we highlighted a potential SPY trade that ended up offering as much as 156%. Let’s take a look at how scan for any potential great SPY trades for this week. I am going to share how I look at what the SPY might move this week, an example of a trade to consider using a powerful indicator, and an update on a previous trade. Be sure to scroll down to make sure you don’t miss anything.
SPY, or the SPDR S&P 500 trust, is an exchange-traded fund that trades on the NYSE Arca under the symbol SPY. It’s an ETF covering companies traded within the SPX Exchange Traded Fund. It trades in high volume which is one of the reasons the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) indicator is effective when confirming direction.
I start looking at the previous trading day (in this case last Friday) to see what the S&P did in terms of price movement.
The image below is Friday’s price activity.
This chart image is courtesy of FINVIZ.com a free website and gives a quick view of each day’s movement.
Seeing that chart helps us know what to look for on the next chart that includes the PPO on the bottom of the chart. For more info on the PPO indicator, click here.
When we look at the PPO we are looking for places where the two lines cross. As we look at this example, we see the SPY moving down. The stock price in this example is $439.97. You would wait until price found a bottom before buying stock.
If price continues to fall you could consider a Put trade if it moves below 439. The short-term target is $435.
If you were trading options and selected a 435 Put option strike, you would pay a premium of around $3.69 for the Sept 15th expiration, or $369 for the 100-share option contract. If the stock price moves to 435, the premium is apt to go up about $2.00. Your premium of $369 plus $200= $569 That is a profit of 52% over a short period of time.
This example shows how options can be a very effective way to control risk and maximize potential wins. We know what the premium is before we enter the trade and can determine if it is within our own individual risk tolerance. Using the leverage of options allows us to get the biggest potential return for a smaller initial investment.
Don’t stop here though, I want you to learn as much as possible. Here is a link to a video that tells more about options and how it helped me when I most needed it.
The time you put into learning to trade options will be very worthwhile. Stick with it and believe in yourself.
I wish you the very best,
Wendy
