Best directional SPY options trading strategy | Elite Trader

And no news out of DC is great news for Wall Street. SPY chart from last week in detail, and see where we ended up through June This daily chart of the SPY tells me that in the last few months we have had a few pullbacks in the SPY. Basically what we are doing is looking to catch a falling stock before it rebounds….

In both May and June, we had this occurrence result in higher prices, but you have to act fast with a swing trade. Trading swing patterns in individual stocks is risky business, but with ETFs like the SPY you have diversity on your side. That is my buy signal. So how good is the track record on catching a falling ETF like the SPY? Also, there is a lot more to these gains based on various exits to this method. Take a look at the most recent day low that occurred last week in the SPY, and how using options got you in and out for a huge gain.

As you can see above, on June 8th the SPY hit a day low.

Keep in mind we are forced to exit this trade quickly because there are only four days June on this option. Now look at the following graph that shows the trade in a fast-forward by two days, and look at the return that we get. So options not only play a role in lowering cost and risk, but when used properly, they also offer an exit strategy by forcing us to make quick decisions, and at the same time, keep within our trading plans when it comes to entry and exit timeframes.

I studied swing trades some time ago and I most probably would have missed this one. However, and just for clarification if you please Sir. Are you saying that this swing move is one of your trade selection identifiers or recommendation for an actual trade?

Hello, Tom, thank you for all the wonderful recommendations.

But my problem is I can not trade strangle option in Scottrade. I have searched around and still not found any good place. Would you tell me which where or how to find a firm who allow trading strangle options? Email will not be published Required.
