 Good morning, everyone. Happy Tuesday, December 19th, 2023. Everybody's having a good morning. Got markets still continuing in the little little rally here this morning. Yesterday was a another green day, so the holiday uptick continues. Now currently trading at 17, NASDAQ plus 15, S&P plus four and three-quarters, so just slightly green. I'm coming down here a little bit. The last 30 minutes or so. Let's see how things go this morning. VIX is at does down a third of a percent, so I'm kind of just kind of just facing the facts. It appears markets are just going to take higher until the new year. We'll have to see what happens after that. 2024, we got an election year, but it's getting a little difficult to trade zero DTEs. I was looking yesterday. I actually had a winning iron condor that I put on in the morning. Had a losing reverse iron condor in hindsight, probably shouldn't have put it on just because I always try to stick to the rules and then power hour, I just wasn't much juice for the for an iron condor, so I didn't trade any in the afternoon there with a zero DTE power hour. There is the bell. See if we get some upside volume runners or see if we'll get some downside volume runners. So with the pullback Amazon, new highs meta pushing up. So getting some strength here. See if it continues or not. Some pretty, pretty nice sizable pushes here. Right out of the gates. We'll see if that continues or not. Meta through yesterday's high. Well stocks pushing up here. Amazon reversed. Meta up 1%, Tesla up 1%. Square up 2.5%. Right. Blockchain cryptos have been strong lately. Up over 3%. It's good to see riot coming back. It had gotten up to 20 bucks a share and then it went back down to about nine bucks and now it's coming back up. Bob and Baidu pushing up. Netflix, Amazon looks like they may get red bars here. One thing I've kind of been doing recently is taking a look at a little more at the navigation trend trading charts and buying and finding places in this strong market where there may be a pullback and stocks on an uptrend just going out. A few weeks buying some calls. I did that with Amazon and yesterday closed out with like 2,500 profits. Just using those trend trading charts. Meta really pushing up. Netflix coming down through pre-market lows in our second bars here now. So a little mixture, mostly green, but got some red sprinkled in here. Trading the mighty 90 and runner strategies, continuation and volume runner. If you're new, welcome. Make sure your paper training if you haven't traded those strategies. Yeah, Meta really strong. Square up up over three and a quarter percent. So square also strong. I got rid of all my Amazon shares when they hit yesterday's high yesterday towards the end of the day. Felt like I better just take them off and held them for a few days. I had a lot of time left on them, but the trend trading was showing it pushing up to highs. So I thought, well, it's at highs. So get rid of them. It's like that was a good call so far. Take a look. I've been going like when I just look at the trend trading and just kind of buy calls or puts. Let's see if we go to the Amazon options. I was, I believe in the Well, there's 17 days now. I think when I got in them, they were like that 17 to 20, 21 days right in there. Just gives you some time. You may experience a day where they're down, but I was been playing the rules on that, the trend trading. So I'll kind of show you here what I did real quick. Pull this over. So I got in. I'm on this little pullback right here tonight. It was in an uptrend little pullback. I bought calls right there and then got this. So most of the time when I've done trend trading, I've done spreads like short call vertical, short put vertical, but just decided to like try with just buying some simple. That's what I was just showing. That's what I was just showing. It was like the seven somewhere between the 17 and 24 right in there. Sometimes when I've done spreads, I've done not that far out, but obviously Theta works against you. So I went a little further out and I was just buying the calls and it worked for Amazon. I haven't done it very often. Just kind of something I'm just trying. So Boeing getting a big volume bar here. No, I've been going about the 75 Delta, 7580 Delta. It's like going in the money on those. That's what Steve teaches in the course. I just thought it's just simpler than doing spreads and you kind of book profits quicker. You might take a day where they're down, but man, because it fluctuates so much. I stick with that trend. Amazon was a good trend look like to continue upward. So Square didn't quite get there, but Boeing did. Square's closed, man. I'll see if Boeing pulls back a little bit. AMD got there as well. No pullback in Boeing at all. I mean, I had a little pullback before that when that bar closed, I guess, but so did Square. I just like to see a little more pullback than that. Bumblebee and Roku was really close too. Let me take a look at that and toss. And Roku was darn close. I've played these like volume runners in a strong market before when it's this close. Boeing kind of pulling back here a little bit. Take a look at Boeing. Today I traded the 3DTE, 3DTE. So Boeing, I would trade the 265 calls. See trying to get filled at. I'm just going to jump in here. Filled at 225 and Boeing on the 265 calls. So close half my Boeing at 250. Put an order in there in case I'm not watching. And Meta still going. Square, no pullback. AMD, not much of a pullback. Come on, Boeing, do what your friends are doing. You pull back for us. AMD really. AMD and another big bar. You must be looking at a different, the wrong one there. So Boeing not cooperating. It needs to hold right there. Otherwise it's cut city. One more in Mighty 90. It's popping up a little bit though. You had to get in right down here. Disney kind of setting up to continue higher maybe. So Boeing coming down close to my cut. Kind of disappointing. That was a nice volume bar, a nice pullback. AMD pulling back a little bit. See AMD, I would trade the 142 calls. Filled at 245. So I need it to stay above right there. DKNG pushing highs of day. Square looking like it wants to go higher. Boeing is not going. Come on, Boeing. Meta's pushing highs. Need to close half my AMD here. Filled at 279 to close half my AMD. All right, Boeing. That's a bummer. So my question is, do I cut it or do I let it come to this pivot where it'll probably bounce? And do I add to it? So yeah, it's kind of come down below this, but it's got that pivot there. I'm going to add to it. And then if it goes through the pivot, I'll just bail and add to it at $1.99. Add to it $2. Might have missed it. My AMD coming back down. Square pushing highs of day. Hang it. Square was the one. Mighty 90 in Nvidia. I'm going to do that for sure. 490 calls in Nvidia. Filled at 670. So you can see Nvidia's got a really nice setup for a Mighty 90 there. Close half my Nvidia at 740. So Boeing's still coming down here. Look maybe to add to that still. Filled at 207 to add to Boeing. AMD is kind of right at my cut point too. In terms of the volume runner goes. Filled at 740 to close half of Nvidia. So if you want a good looking Mighty 90, take a look at the volume in Nvidia. That's good volume pop right there. Good separation. So be looking for two bars, two green bars in Nvidia. Get out of another Nvidia at 810. And AMD just kind of sitting there. It's kind of worrying me a little bit. Filled at 810 to close a quarter of Nvidia. And I've only got one Nvidia left. I only did four contracts. So I'll just see if it gets second. Second bar on that one. We wanted to see AMD take off by now. Kind of got a big red bar there too. So we need to do something quick here. Got out of half, which was good already. Really need Boeing to get going here. Filled at 225 to close half my Boeing. That was my original entry. So a good add there on that. Man, look at meta. Now AMD, I'm going to cut my AMD. It's just not doing what a volume runner needs to do. Filled at 202. And that really came down. It's unfortunate. So closed AMD failed volume runner. And you know, sometimes I'm going to keep an eye out on these. See how I had two big green bars? It's like sometimes you almost have to wait till it pulls back to the first where the first big bar is, I think. Definitely something I'm going to pay attention to from now on. Because I could see it coming down to where this first big volume bar is and then bouncing, but it's already flushed me out. The downside to that would be if it has one pullback and takes off, you miss it. I'll close another Boeing at 245. Nvidia looking for second green bar to get out of my last contract here. Filled at 245 to close another Boeing. So Nvidia going to close it out here as far as coming to an end in 30 seconds. Filled at 840. Closed out with about 20 seconds left. So good looking mighty 90 there. That's your prototypical mighty 90 there. So if you're learning, oh, Boeing is going. Boeing trying to get through highs of day. Closed another Boeing at 265. Just put that in in case it goes without me paying attention. Okay, so also here's where I want Boeing to take off through highs. The trade is a volume runner. So it pulled back a little more than I wanted it to. And I don't want it to come up to where it got forced down once already. If it gets forced back down, it's telling me it's probably going to chop. And you don't want that in a volume runner. I am seeing some weakness here happening. Square could be an upside continuation runner. Keep my eye on that one. Hit highs of day yesterday. Amazon did. So if you look at Amazon here, it came up to these pivots. I was talking earlier. I had some calls that I got rid of yesterday at the top here. So hit highs of day. My guess is that not highs of day. I'm sorry, like all time highs. If you look at, it's like a daily chart of Amazon. I shouldn't say all time highs, but let me take a look at it here. Okay. So the last time it was where it is now, it went through the high at this point here. August 8th, August 15th of 2022. So I'm guessing, yeah, people are probably booking profits. Microsoft I think was in a similar situation. So one thing I'm in is Boeing right now. It's holding. You just wonder like the markets have been just on such a big up tear in November and so far in December. Like you can't just keep continuing. There has to be a some pullback at some point. Airbnb has been strong lately too. I was looking at that for NTT. Microsoft might be getting a little mighty 90 long here. Yeah, that was a good, good mighty 90 in Nvidia. Take that. Yeah, I closed out AMD. Just not reacting like a volume runner should. Take a look at Microsoft here. And I'm not, not, not very good volume pop right here. So Netflix. Volume pop there. Potential mighty 90 short. See if Netflix can make one up push up here to highs that might get short. Tesla trying to push through highs of day. So Netflix, I'm going to look at it. It just flipped. I was just going to say I'm going to look at a short here and then it pulled back. I want to get it up at its peak here. Let's see. Netflix. I would trade the 490 puts. Built at 580. We'll see if Netflix will roll over here. Got filled on, filled at 265 and Boeing close a quarter. Boeing continues to be nice. I was looking at a zero DTE iron condor, but man, it just doesn't have the juice in it. Frustrating. So some stocks pushing up here, but Netflix struggling a little bit. Boeing as well. See how it's kind of struggling to get up to where it got forced down already. I really want to see that push through there. I don't want to see any more drop. Any more drop and I'm probably out. Bummer on that zero DTE stuff. Man, we really need some down movement, man. Futures are chopping a little bit, starting to chop here a little bit. Netflix trying to push back up here a little bit. Tesla through highs of day. So looking for two red bars out of Netflix. Looking for Boeing to go through highs of day. Apple in chop mode. Netflix struggling a bit. See if there's any other potential continuation runners or anything right now. Square maybe. It's really tight range though. I don't necessarily like that tight, tight range. I would get out of another Boeing at 285. So a very nice add to that. Netflix just not really moving at all. Got to think Netflix is going to give me two red bars here. I mean, there's stuff pushing up right now, but it's not moving. It's kind of sitting about right where I entered right now. I'll all mark with a big bounce back. I actually have some Walmart calls. My other account based off NTT. Show you these. I call them a little longer term. So these were all based off NTT. So I got Boeing up 1180 today. Boba up 625 today, but it's down 500 for the, because it was down yesterday. Tesla up 680. I'm sorry, Tesla up. Peton up 680. Tesla up 1140. And Walmart's down 165. Total of over 3K. Based on those NTT trades. Netflix one red bar. Barely. No specific time. The chart and kind of see where price is at. No, I mean, usually it's in the afternoon, but it's not. It's not set in stone that way for me. Like if I think yesterday, you know, I came on which one it was. Was it yesterday? No, it wasn't yesterday. You know, if I'm going long and I see it's coming down to like loads of day, I'll go ahead and put it on regardless of what time of day it is. If it's, if it's at like highs of day, you know, and NTT is telling me to go long. Then I will wait to see if it pulls back for me a little bit. And then put it on during the day. So it just kind of depends. So I've got an order to close half of my Netflix at 640. I'm feeling really glad that this mighty 90s working in Netflix because there's a lot of stuff pushing up right now. Look at square. I mentioned that looks like an upside body runner filled at 285. Close another Boeing. Man, what a monster. What a great ad down there. Just realizing that pivot instead of bailing on it. Yeah, that's that's kind of what I it's kind of what you use the pivots for, you know, it's like, OK, so the rule says to get out of it. If it goes below this point where this price started on the second on that big volume bar, but it did its toe blow it and had a pivot there to hold on to it. So I left it. Darn it, Netflix. I thought I was going to maybe get filled on half my Netflix and Roku firing up and with things getting strong, maybe should have closed my Netflix out when it was down here at the bottom. Kind of just a scratch trade right at the moment. Meta could potentially be an upside continuation that comes back down a little bit. You know, Roku maybe getting a little bit of a mighty 90 there. It's pretty darn strong on the day. There's a definite mighty 90 though. I'm going to go for one last mighty 90 here for the day Roku 96 puts filled at 223. So Netflix did not give me two consecutive reds and it's not above that little consolidation. So I'm going to hold it. I'm not sure what to think here. Netflix pushes through this little consolidation. I might just bail on it. What I'm hoping is to get two nice push downs in Netflix still really struggling though. Roku pushing up a little bit. Could have got a better fill the one I got. Much better fill. Meta still consolidating and see that's what Netflix might be just consolidating here and turn into an upside continuation runner. It didn't have a really a good push initial push up though. But it's definitely consolidating here. So it's going to go one way or the other. I would add to my Roku at two bucks. Pushes up always position size mighty 90s to add to them. Push up a little bit more just a little bit more. You can do it. Build it two bucks to add to Roku. Okay. So nice little mighty 90 look there. Pushed up and I want it to roll over and have a close half at my original entry to 23 going still looking good. Netflix not going anywhere. Another red bar barely out of Netflix. Now I just need a nice big drop out of Netflix. Yeah, look at Apple just chopping. Come on Netflix. Dow up 169 Nasdaq up 52 and S&P up 18. Boeing still climbing. DKNG taking off man that square upside volume. I called that out. I was like, yeah, it's really tight range. Definitely would have worked there though. Nvidia kind of break it through this little consolidation. Pretty slow movement happening right now. Again, this is kind of why easily cut today or I'm sorry cut the live stream here with these strategies around 930 central time after the first hour because it just gets to be such slow movement. I mean at some point Netflix is going to go either way at some point when that's going to be. I don't know. Yeah, I thought Roku was going to give me a red bar, but maybe not. Build it 305 to get out of another Boeing. I had a kid Roku. No red bar yet. Tesla through highs of day. Yeah, just need a little pullback here. It's all we need. I don't think Roku wants to give it to us right now. It's been a while since I've seen a mighty 90 like Netflix here or it virtually goes nowhere. And looks like it's going to rip my face off. Should have maybe did without the last mighty 90. Pretty good green day gone. But keep the faith. It's going to give me two red bars at some point. Netflix pushing up. Okay, I'm going to watch Netflix here because hasn't given me two red bars in a row, but like I said, it's in this consolidation where it looks like it could maybe potentially be an upside continuation runner. And that is not what I want. So watching it carefully here. Boeing coming down a little bit. So I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and close my Boeing and just book profits. Build it 285 to close the rest of my Boeing just so it doesn't eat any profits. I mean, it's due to pullback a little bit. Alright, Netflix going to close it. Build it 555. So small is there just it is a mighty 90. If you held it, I wouldn't be mad at you. But it's been over 30 minutes since I've been in the guests. I got in this mighty 90 and so it kind of is just setting up as a consolidation to the upside. And that's what I said. I said, it's either going to go one way or the other. Looks like it's going to go up. And Roku getting pushed down a little bit here. So thank goodness for that. So I think what I'm going to do. Give a second here. Roku maybe giving us a red bar. Roku's only have left. I'm trying to go through highs of day. Roku give us a red bar. Super strong. No red bar out of Roku yet. So what I'm going to do here is the last trade I have. So I'm going to wait for two red bars unless with a strong market and I'm short. If it rips up through highs of day, I may cut it. I don't like to do that, but I've already added to it. So let's just hope it just comes down here and gives me two red bars. But it is a strong market. So a couple of things pulling back here. Boeing's pulling back a little bit. So that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully I just, I could scale out of it coming down. I've got an order in at 223 to close half. Gives me two red bars. I will get out of it. And I will see everybody back tomorrow. So have a good rest of your day. Peace.
