Never get blind sided again by a bear market.Preface
Recently we wrote on The Exact Bearish Trigger in Nvidia. Today we look at the other side.There is a technical set up such that it triggers bullish times to trade Nvidia, even in a bear market, that has shown triple digit returns during the bear market of late 2018, and quadruple digit returns (1741%) over the last three-years.
Finding these patterns should be straight forward. And with the upgraded Trade Machine, which is now a stock backtester as well as an option back-tester, now they are.
There is such a technical condition, and we will review it, right now. Also, if this trigger looks familiar, it should, it is the same bullish trigger that has worked with Amazon, as well.
The Short-term Bullish Option Trade in Nvidia
We will examine the outcome of going long an out-of-the-money (strike price is set to the 40 delta) call option, in options that are the closest to 30-days from expiration. But we follow three rules:* Never Trade Earnings
Let's not worry about stock direction or earnings, let's try to find a back-test that benefits from volatility. Here it is, first, we enter the long call.
* Use a technical trigger to start the trade, if and only if these specific items are met. As of this writing, 1-25-2019, the conditions are not yet satisfied.
Wait until the day that the stock price crosses above the 10-day moving average and the 50-day moving average (DMA) is above the 200-DMA and the 21-DMA is above the 50-DMA. Those last two requirements are sometimes called "stacked moving averages." Here is a nice simple image of the technical requirement:
You can set an alert in Trade Machine®, which will track all of these moving parts for you, and message you when it triggers. In fact, you can do this with a portfolio of stocks for a portfolio of bullish and bearish triggers. Never get blind sided again by a bear market.
* Finally, we set a very specific type of limit:
* Use a 30% limit
* Close the trade after 15 trading days, if the limit has not been hit.
At the end of each day, the back-tester checks to see if the long call is up 30%. If it is, it closes the position. If after 15 trading days the limit has not been hit, the call is closed so not to suffer total time decay.
