When I am looking for a great trade that has the potential to really explode in the direction, I want it to, I have a favorite indicator that I rely on. Here is an example of a trade that this reliable signal provider helped me uncover in today’s market.

Alcoa Corp. symbol (AA) caught my eye when I looked at the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) on the bottom of the chart. The areas on the CCI that look like fins are what caught my attention. To learn more about CCI, click here. Take a look and I will explain how this example can work below:

On the CCI indicator below the AA chart, notice how the line is heading up to the 0 which is bullish territory.  This signals bearish moves with the thought that price may move down.

We want CCI on to go up to create a fin shape. We also want the price to go above $34 before entering a trade. The first target would be $40.

Here Is How This Could Be Lucrative in This Example

To buy stock shares of AA today, price would be approximately $33.79. If price went up to $40 you would make about $6.21 per share.

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 Call option contract covering 100 shares of AA’s stock with a May 17th expiration date for the 35 strike, premium would be approximately $2.12 today, or a total of $212 per contract.  If the stock price rose the expected $6 the premium might increase approximately $3.00 to $512per share on your 100-share contract. This is a 142% gain over a couple of weeks.

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