When I spotted this trade example, I had to send it to you. Take a look below and I’ll show you what helped me uncover it, how to get the biggest potential trade benefit, and also, I’ll update you on a previous example.
Etsy Inc. (ETSY) just created a “fin” on the CCI indicator at the bottom of its chart. Let me explain and show you how this example would work as a trade.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) reveals big reversals as they are about to happen. To get more info on the CCI, click here. On this chart you can see the pattern shaping up:
This latest move is heading down to the zero line indicating a bearish move. We want CCI on ETSY to go down to create a fin shape. We also want the price to go down to at least $70 before entering a trade. The first target would be $65 and then lower.
The next step is to consider what you can do with this information. Let’s take a look at how an option trade could provide a big win.
To buy stock shares of ETSY today, price would be approximately $70.34. You would wait until price found a bottom before buying stock. With options, you can trade when the market is bearish.
That 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 ETSY’s stock with a Feb 16th expiration date for the 70 strike, premium would be approximately $3.50 today, or a total of $350 per contract. If the stock price fell the expected $5 the premium might increase approximately $2.50 to $6.00 per share on your 100-share contract. This is a 71% gain over a few days.

I love to trade, and I love to teach. It is my thing.
I wish you the very best,
