The chart of GME below is a weekly chart with a CCI indicator at the bottom. The description coming up next explains how to use the CCI.

Channel Commodity Index

Stockcharts.com provides a great definition of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), which is a versatile indicator that can be used to identify a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. Originally, it was developed to identify cyclical turns in commodities, but the indicator can be successfully applied to indices, ETFs, stocks and other securities. In general, CCI measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period.

CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average but is relatively low when prices are far below their average. In this manner, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels or breaks from one level to another.

A move down to the CCI -100 or the zero line can issue a Put entry signal as it moves from being bullish to bearish. A move toward -100 is a continuation of that bearishness. Up through the 100 line creates a green fin of bullishness until it drops back down through the -100 line.

A break below the zero line means it has gone from bullish to bearish and a drop below -100 suggests even more bearishness.

When things get wild it is even more important to control risk and maximize you gains. Click here for a method that offers the greatest potential.

On the CCI indicator below the GME chart, notice how the line is has crossed the zero-line going into bearish territory. This signals bearish moves with the thought that price may move down.

GME’s Potential Trade

Please note and remember that I am typing this on Monday, two days before you receive it. The information I am sharing could change over those two days and is intended to share the opportunities that options offer us.

GameStop (GME) has been heading down for weeks. We want the CCI to drop to create a lower fin shape. We also want the price to go down to at least $91 before entering a trade. The first target would be $80

Check Out How an Option Trade Could Pay Out Big Time

To buy stock shares of GME today, price would be approximately $92. You would not buy stock when you are expecting the price to go down. You would wait until if found a bottom.

This said, option trading offers the potential of a smaller initial investment and higher percentage gain even when price is expected to rise or fall. Let’s take a look.

If you bought one Put option contract covering 100 shares of GME’s stock with a June 17th expiration date for the $70 strike premium would be approximately $6.15 today, or a total of $615 per contract. If price fell the expected $9, the premium might increase approximately $4.50 to $10.65 per share on your 100-share contract. This is a 73% gain over a couple weeks.

Remember you can close an option trade anywhere along the line before expiration to take gains or stop a loss.

Options can offer a win, win, win trade opportunity. They often offer a smaller overall investment, covering more shares of stock, and potentially offer greater profits.
