Is It Time For An Aggressive Trade Or To Lock In Profit?

The consolidation continues but we are testing the top of the range. Markets seem to be shrugging off inflation concerns and trending upward, but we are reaching a critical point that will give us a solid clue about what to expect next.
 
A couple weeks ago we looked a a trade that took advantage of the current consolidation. Take a look at how that played out on this chart:
(Chart below)

 

At the time QQQ was about in the middle of the range it was locked into with clear upward momentum. The top of that range was about 340. We took advantage of the fact that it still had room to run and suggested buying a July call option with a strike of 336. 

 

QQQ moved very much as expected and is right at 340. The call option which was about $7.65 is now at $9.55 for a nice 25% profit. 

 

The big question is what to do next. 

 

This really comes down to your trading plan. The aggressive move is to hold on and see if there is even more room to the upside and more profit to grab if the premium on that call continues to climb. The conservative move is to lock in the 25% and give the market a chance to confirm if it is going to bounce off that resistance and head back down or breakthrough. 

 

Lee Gettess does a great job of showing how to recognize if the momentum is running out of steam and getting exhausted.

TradeWins does not recommend or refer subscribers to broker-dealers. You should perform your own due diligence with respect to satisfactory broker-dealers and whether to open a brokerage account. You should always consult with your own professional advisers regarding equities and options on equities trading.

1. The information provided by the newsletters, trading, training and educational products related to various markets (collectively referred to as the "Services") is not customized or personalized to any particular risk profile or tolerance. Nor is the information published by TradeWins Publishing ("TradeWins") a customized or personalized recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or invest in particular financial products. The Services are intended to supplement your own research and analysis.

2. TradeWins' Services are not a solicitation or offer to buy or sell any financial products, and the Services are not intended to provide money management advice or services.

3. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading and investing involve substantial risk. Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Other than the refund policy detailed elsewhere, TradeWins does not make any guarantee or other promise as to any results that may be obtained from using the Services. No person subscribing for the Services ("Subscriber") should make any investment decision without first consulting his or her own personal financial adviser, broker or consultant. TradeWins disclaims any and all liability in the event anything contained in the Services proves to be inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable, or results in any investment or other loss by a Subscriber.

4. You should trade or invest only "risk capital" - money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

5. All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

6. Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

7. No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

8. The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber's own election and for the Subscriber's own risk.
