Clues From Expiration for the 1st week of November

I was out of town last weekend hence no post. Luckily I returned in time to trade the Friday fun. SPX closed at a new high and is likely to see another new high at some point next week. Open Interest: SPY-W: (45 of 59 pins).* Currently the best pin is around 256, but it’s […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 10/30/17

The start to the week was very uninspiring and difficult to trade, but the end turned out to be great. It was a good reminder of why it’s important to be patient when trading. Better to take swings when the market environment is friendly to traders. Of course that’s easier said than done, but I...

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 10/23/17

Last week was not a friendly environment for short term traders. There were a couple rug pulls mixed in with a ton of sideways action that kills short term option buyers. As traders there is nothing we can do about that except know that the market isn’t trending and be less active and careful to...

October OPEX

Last week here I showed the open interest for both Wednesday and Friday expiration and wrote that after two closes over the high calls it was likely that SPX would take some time to consolidate and was unlikely to close over the high calls again. SPX consolidated in a very strong tight range and indeed […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 10/16/17

As crazy as it may seem the uptrend continues unfazed for now. Last week I said we would likely see a lot of sideways action. I didn’t mean for that to be literal, but with SPX it pretty much was. I do think we will begin to move outside of that tight range next week...

Will the Open Interest Affect this Bull Trend Next Week?

Last week here I wrote about the high calls for both the Wednesday and Friday SPY expirations. I wrote that if price were to open or get above them NOT to fight it and that it could even push price up faster due to delta hedging. If you are going to use the open interest […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 10/09/17

We are currently in such a strong market that SPY was able to push over high strike calls and continue higher Wednesday and Friday. There is no doubt SPX could use some consolidation, but it doesn’t mean that it will and it also doesn’t mean stocks by themselves can’t continue to be strong and rally....

Open Interest for Week One, Q4

Last week here I showed the high open interest calls on SPY that could act as resistance. For Wednesday the calls were a bit of a deterrent to price and SPY did pin. Throughout the week the SPY Friday open interest that started with lots of high calls were met with many high puts and […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 10/02/17

The market made new highs last week and based on Friday’s closed is very likely to see higher highs next week. A new quarter begins Monday and we are mostly flat so we will go with the flow based on where money is moving. Breadth: For the most part the breadth doesn’t give us any...
