For today’s Trade of the Day, we will be looking at Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS).

Before analyzing LVS’s chart, let’s take a closer look at the company and its services. Las Vegas Sands Corp., together with its subsidiaries, develops, owns, and operates integrated resorts in Asia and the United States. Las Vegas Sands Corp. was founded in 1988 and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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

Average Direction Index (ADX) – Strength Indicator

The Average Directional Index consists of 3 lines:  Green, Red and Black.

  • Green = +DI (Bullish)
  • Red = -DI (Bearish)
  • Black = ADX Strength Line

The DI line that is on top is in control.  If the ADX line is heading up, strength is supporting the DI line that is on top and in control.

Each candle on the chart represents price movement over a 5-day (week) period; therefore, it takes weeks for trades to play out.  When the -DI crosses over the +DI line, it gives a buy signal for Puts as the -DI line (red) appears as if it is in control and rising to head up on the ADX indicator, and as the ADX turns up that is even more bearish, suggesting a downward move is gaining strength.  When the +DI (green line) crosses the red and the black line points up it shows an upward trend and Calls can be considered.

The ADX +DI (green line) is close to crossing the -DI.  As long as the +DI is above the -DI, price should rise. 

Potential LVS Trade

This signal could give a quick payout if it continues the upward move, and the strength of this pattern continues.  I am typing this on Wednesday, and LVS costs about $42.62.   If LVS’s price moves to $43 and the +DI (green line) crosses the -DI, and the black line is heading up, you could consider a Call trade.  The short-term price target for LVS is $47 and then, perhaps, higher. 

Check Out How an Option Trade Could Pay Out Big Time

Option trading offers the potential of a lower initial investment and higher percentage gain.   Let’s take a look and make a comparison.

To buy shares of LVS stock you would pay about $42.62. If price rose to $47 you would make about $4.38.

If you bought 1 Call option covering 100 shares of LVS with an Nov 18th expiration date for the 47 strike, the premium would be approximately $ 1.72 today, or $172 for 1 option.  If price rose $4 over the next few weeks, the premium would likely increase $2.00, giving $200 profit on your $172 investment. This is a 116% gain.  

Trading options is a win, win, win opportunity.   Options often offer a smaller overall investment, covering more shares of stock and potential for greater profits.

I like to stress when trading options, you don’t need to wait for the expiration date to close the trade. You can close anywhere along the way prior to the expiration date.  It is never a bad idea to take profit.

Trading options is like renting stocks for a fixed period of time. The potential to generate steady income with options is real, and it can be transforming.  

Routinely remind yourself – I believe in myself and my ability to succeed. I believe in an abundance of unlimited possibilities. The future will be awesome!

I wish you the very best,

Wendy
