ATVI Bearish inclined Naked Calls 29 Oct Expiry (Oct Track 1)I just realised I forgot to enter this trade. My thoughts below was written 28 Sep Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought Forced, Because I need to hit the 5% target I don't have much options, this feels risky. I need to spend time coming up with proper ideas. I feel lazy and that I need to be serious since I am doing this full time ATVI looking at it as it is going down. There is a recent pull back but it is still bearish. ATVI has been moving the opposite of the Index or the VXX. It was also impacted by Evergrande's drop. But only recovered slightly with the market bounced If anything I see ATVI ranging near term Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side Do I need this trade? Since you feel it is forced and that you did not put in effort What if it rebounds up? Their last earnings was higher than the estimates Christmas is coming, this can boast interest in the stock Imagine Yourself As A Neutral Observer The Other Side, also feels convinced that ATVI is bearish The key issue feels like no prep was done and it is a forced trade. I am not being professional Other Competitors in this space like EA have similar down trends (Feels like a sector drop) Look For New Information Recently ATVI has negative news on the workplace culture and discrimination How Do I Feel Now This is not a company that will fail entirely near term due to it's strong gaming titles that has a strong following. This is probably the last time I can/should trade this bearish move Trade Specs Sold 80 CALLS @ 0.50 Strike 84 % to Strike is 8.9% ATR % is slightly on the high side at 60% Max Gain: est $4000

EverlongI'm always bullish on SPY. It's an ETF designed to always gain value. Knowing this information I like to play strategies that involve exploiting dips. Currently on the 1HR chart we're seeing that it might break the downward pattern. It is visually represented by the green ascending cloud and then a red cloud on the dip. The VIX is a little higher this morning but ideally I like it over 23 to Sell Credit Spreads. If the market is neutral I might do a Calendar Spread. If it dips I buy the Sold Call back for a profit and then keep the LEAP until profit target is reached. Godspeed Traders!

Nasdaq, 28 SEP - Elliott waves | Gann | Planetary Aspects $QQQAs expected a wave C is currently unfolding which gave us a nice profit. Price approaches the 14766 Gann level so that we may look for potential (temporary) support. Wave C is still short but since we have a lower low, it fulfils the criteria for completion, and we can look to reduce exposure to be on the safe side. It is also possible to count 5 waves down (green count), however this count can extend if wave C continues to progress. Should Nasdaq drop further, the next levels of support might be: - 14524 Gann level & wave A-C equality - Gann level 14284 - Gann level 14046 & 1.618 Fib extension of wave A. Implied Volatility is high after today’s sharp drop. Selling option premium with wide strikes can be profitable should the decline slow down from here. Correlations: DXY stalled today in a potential resistance zone. If USD cools off it will help the yield-sensitive tech sector to find temporary support zones. _______________________ www.constellations.trade In my analyses I combine Elliott waves, Gann theory, and planetary aspects to identify turning points in the markets & derive high-probability trading ideas. The strategy is to build leveraged exposure when markets are likely to expand, and to use options premium decay for consistent income when markets may contract and range.

ATVI Bearish inclined Naked Calls 24 Sep Expiry (Sep Track 1)This is Track 1, Trade 2 of the September trades. This trade follow the following theme that I have crafted. Industries that performed too well in 2020 (Market wise/product/service) might be unraveling because of their inability to keep up to the new or returning behavior shifts of people getting out of homes and back outdoors. After spiking early in the year (Feb), Industries such as eGaming and eSports seem to range or trend downwards. They have generally not hit that previous high despite good earning reports. I would be more comfortable selling into an ETF. But all the eGaming and eSports ETFs have terrible prices now. Sold 110 Puts @ 0.50 Strike 91 % to Strike is 10% from entry ATR percentile is high so this is good Rising RSI , so this could be an issue Max Gain: est $5500 Total BP Block: 95K

XRT ETF Bullish inclined Naked Puts 24 Sep Expiry (Sep Track 1)This is Track 1, Trade 1 of the September trades. This trade generally follows the larger market bullish move as it seems like Retail is taking the Delta virus and inflation news on its stride. There will be price drops if those concerns surface again, but from what I've noticed, its all very short term. We also see retail hiring more aggressively and in the short term this means that business owners are somewhat optimistic and ready to get their business rolling full swing. Sold 25 Puts @ 0.50 Strike 85 % to Strike is 11% from entry ATR percentile is a middle, so this could be improved. Rising RSI , tied to an uptrend of lower highs Max Gain: est $1250 Total BP Block: 28K

JETS ETF Bullish inclined Naked Puts 10 Sep Expiry (Sep Track 2)This is the first month I'm breaking up my trades into 2 tracks to spread risk and provide myself with more room to navigate depending on the market situation. I'm back bullish in JETS as it seems like the US is taking the virus in it's stride, even with Delta cases rising fast. Any virus precautions and restrictions while limiting are not new to business owners or consumers. Leisure and hospitality as an industry is opening up fast, Increasing pay and benefits to lure people back. As more people get vaccinated and business returns, I think we should experience a jolt of green in this sector. Sold 250 Puts @ 0.21 Strike 20 % to Strike is 13% from entry ATR percentile is a high so I think we are at a pretty decent price Rising RSI, tied to an uptrend of lower highs Total BP Block: 50K
