APPS Stock on Sustain 'Buy' Signal

Dear Reader,

Yesterday, we looked at Daily Price Chart for Dell Technologies, Inc. noting that the stock had been making a series of higher highs and higher lows.

For today's Trade of the Day e-letter we will be looking at a daily price chart for Digital Turbine, Inc. stock symbol: APPS.

Before breaking down APPS's daily chart let's first review what products and services the company offers.

Digital Turbine, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides media and mobile communication products and solutions for mobile operators, application advertisers, device original equipment manufacturers, and other third parties worldwide. Its software platform that enables mobile operators and OEMs to control, manage, and monetize devices. The company also provides programmatic advertising and targeted media delivery services; and other products and professional services directly related to the core platform.

Now, let's begin to break down the Daily Price chart for APPS stock.

Below is a Daily Price chart with the 50-Day EMA and 100-Day EMA for APPS.

50-Day EMA and 100-Day EMA 'Buy' Signal

The 50-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and 100-Day EMA are moving average indicator lines that can provide buy and sell signals when used together. When the shorter-term 50-Day EMA crosses above or below the longer-term 100-Day EMA, this provides either a buy or sell signal depending on which direction the stock price is moving.

-50-Day EMA line Above 100-Day EMA = Price Uptrend = Buy signal

-50 Day EMA line Below 100-Day EMA = Price Downtrend = Sell signal

When the 50-Day EMA (blue line) crosses above the 100-Day EMA (red line) this indicates that the stock's buying pressure has begun to outweigh the selling pressure signaling a 'buy' signal. When the 50-Day EMA crosses below the 100-Day EMA this indicates that the selling pressure has begun to outweigh the buying pressure signaling a 'sell' signal.


APPS Stock on a 'Buy Signal'

As the chart shows, on June 4th, the APPS 50-Day EMA, crossed above the 100-Day EMA. This crossover indicated the buying pressure for APPS stock exceeded the selling pressure. For this kind of crossover to occur, a stock has to be in a strong bullish trend.

Now, as you can see, the 50-Day EMA is still above the 100-Day EMA meaning the 'buy' signal is still in play.

As long as the 50-Day EMA remains above the 100-Day EMA, the stock is more likely to keep trading at new highs in the coming days and weeks and the stock should be bought.

Our initial price target for APPS is 55.85 per share.


Profit if APPS Is Down 10%

With APPS' 50-Day EMA above the 100-Day EMA, the most likely future price movement for APPS stock is up making APPS a good candidate for a covered call.

The Buy Write Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a covered call trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a 10% increase to a 10% decrease in APPS stock at option expiration.

The goal of this example is to demonstrate the 'built in' profit potential for covered calls and the ability of covered calls to profit if the underlying stock is up, down or flat at option expiration. Out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don't list the option strike price used in the profit/loss calculation.

The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for APPS on 10/13/2020 before commissions.


Built in Profit Potential

For this covered call, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost or the breakeven price is $2,963 (circled). The maximum risk for a covered call is the cost of the covered call.

The analysis reveals that if APPS is flat at 39.83 at expiration the covered call will realize a $1,020.00 profit and a 34.4% return (circled).

If APPS increases 10.0% at option expiration, the covered call will realize a $1,037.00 profit and a 35.0% return.

And if APPS decreases 10% at option expiration, the covered call will realize a $621.70 profit and a 21.0% return.

Due to option pricing characteristics, this covered call has a 'built in' 34.4% profit potential when the trade was initiated.

Covered call trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional stock trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat.

A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader.
