How about that Monday turn around, did you see that coming? We went from the low on November 30 up by 2% on the SPY by 11.15am eastern. Were we wary? yes. Our daily SPY and weekly charts on SPY are still on an MACD divergence down. Sure enough when the 5 min timeframe diverged down right at 11.15am. We were ready to strike.

The Volatility Index (VIX)
Volatility Index is an innovation that provides options traders with the opportunity to achieve spectacular returns rarely present in other options markets.
The index is based on the implied volatility present in 30-day S&P 500 options. In truly efficient markets, this can reliably be seen as the market’s expectation of near-term volatility. Thus, once the index is created, traders can implement a view of volatility isolated from other variables common to option pricing, such as underlying asset prices, dividends, and even days to expiry.
The VIX’s volatility becomes a tradeable commodity and allows a straight purchase or sale of volatility,
The VIX has a well-defined historical correlation with the S&P. History shows that equity markets rise at a far slower rate than they fall. As such, the historical volatility of the S&P is inverse to its price.
This makes the perfect timing tool for equity markets. When the VIX is low, the markets...

Interview with Options Expert Dale Wheatley in Traders World
|
| Traders World: What is your background before you started trading options? Dale: I was a Telephone Contractor for many years and needed and wanted an investment vehicle that could travel with me, one that was not too complex. I studied all about different investments such as real estate, buying discount mortgages, tax certificates, etc. as well as the stock market, but none of those things seemed simple enough for me to control myself without a great investment of time and money. I simply did not have much time to devote to those things since I worked 100-hour weeks and moved around the country doing storm reconstruction for telephone companies, etc. I accidentally happened across options in the mid-1980s and I immediately saw the advantage of the limited risk-vs-potential returns. |
TRADERS WORLD: How did you get started in trading options?
Dale: I began trading options in the mid-1980’s. I read every book I could find about options...
Hourly MACD divergence on CVX and XOM reaped 500% next morning
Can't really miss these divergences on the hourly charts of CVX and XOM and picking up the out of the money option before the close on 9/15/20 was perfect timing.
Entry in the last 30 minutes of the trading day as the stocks just started turning up was ideal. The XOM September 18, 37.5 calls could have been had for 11 or 12 c. The next day they were as high as 83c. An alert trader could have taken 500% gain, and with over 2500- 3000 contracts trading a day the spread was reasonable.
The CVX September 18, 79 calls could have been had at a similar time to XOM in last 30 minutes of the trading day for 12c or so. By the next day they traded as high as 1.06. Spread wasn't as nice as XOM as volume was 300 - 500 contracts but again 500% gain was easy to make.
