Options Oracle: 09/04/14

As you can see from the daily candle chart above, Visa is forming a very nice Head & Shoulders Top.

It is becoming more difficult to find new buy candidates as the market continues to move higher.

Last week an alert went out to buy PFIE on a breakout from the Cup & Handle Pattern. As you can see from the daily candle chart (above) the stock rallied exactly like we thought it would, however, yesterday a bearish engulfing pattern showed up at a resistance point. 80% of the time a stock will drop after a […]

On August 7th an alert went out to buy the January 2016 70 Calls and we would up getting a better fill than expected ($8.50). We bought the calls as the stock was filling an open gap expecting that the stock would rally to fill the second gap to the upside. The stock did in fact rally but […]

We have traded Barrack Gold in the past with good success. The stock follows the technical signals like a charm and I see no reason why we wouldn’t see a rally above the rim of the Cup & Handle. The Cup and Handle pattern is one of the most reliable price patterns around and many […]

Above you will see where I’ve marked the chart where the news was first released that Sprint was putting plans […]
