Dear Reader,

While I was looking through my ‘buy list’ this morning to see if any stocks were offering an attractive trade setup, I came across this one trade and I didn’t need to see any others.

You may have seen this trade setup earlier today too, but if not, don’t worry, I am going to tell you exactly which stock is currently trading in the ‘Buy Zone’.  

The stock that caught my eye was Spotify Technology S.A., symbol: (SPOT).

Once I saw the stock chart for Spotify Technology S.A., I noticed that the stock had traded into prime trade entry territory, which I call my ‘Buy Zone’.

Below is a snapshot of SPOT’s current stock chart. Let’s do some analysis of the chart so you can see what made me stop what I was doing and begin looking for a potential trade to place.

Looking at this chart for SPOT, you can see the stock is in the midst of a strong bullish uptrend which we want to target. But this alone is not enough to convince me that I need to jump in on a trade right then.

Another crucial component of placing successful trades over time is knowing the correct time to enter the trade. This is why I always look at the Keltner Channels before I fire off a trade.

Keltner Channels can serve as an overbought or oversold indicator for stocks. If a stock’s daily stock price is trading above the upper Keltner Channel, this signals that the stock is temporarily overbought and subject to a retracement.

Even stocks that are in the strongest bull trends do not advance in a straight line. There are always price retracements along the way. When a stock becomes overbought, more likely than not, the stock will soon experience a slight pullback.

When we identify stocks in powerful uptrends, these are the stocks we want to trade and we use the Keltner Channels to help pick our entry point. When a bullish stock dips into our ‘Buy Zone’, this is when we want to put on a trade.

The Keltner Channel “Buy Zone” occurs when a stock is trading below the upper Keltner Channel. Once the daily price is trading below the upper channel, it provides a lower-risk buying opportunity as the bullish stock is likely to continue rallying.

How I Would Look to Trade It

Now that we have identified the stock that we want to trade and we have pinpointed our entry point, the next question is how do we actually want to gain exposure to this trade?

I want to look to trade SPOT’s trend and have the opportunity to capture some profits by placing an options trade on the stock. 

Below is a Call Option Debit spread for SPOT that I found just this morning that would allow me to gain some exposure to the stock’s powerful bullish trend but also have some downside protection built in as well. Let me tell you how this works. 

Once I place a Call Option Debit spread, it has the ability to profit if the underlying stock/ETF is either up, flat, or even down a bit at option expiration. 

Below is a snapshot of my Call Option Debit Spread Calculator that shows the profit potential and downside protection analysis for my trade. This example examines a range of a 10.0% increase to a 10.0% decrease in SPOT share price at option expiration. 

Looking at the trade analysis, the calculator shows that this one single trade, that would cost you only $655 to enter, has the ability to profit 52.7%. 

The calculator reveals that if SPOT, at option expiration, were to increase, remain flat, or even drop by as much as 10.0%, this low-cost trade would be set up to make a 52.7% return!

This Call Option Debit Spread strategy has been one of my absolute favorites to trade over the years and remains so today. The key behind it all is that by enabling your ability to profit if a stock is up, flat, or even down a bit gives you a much higher probability that your trade will end up a winner.

The Hughes Optioneering Team is here to help you identify high-probability trades just like this one.
