$GLOP - Gaslog Partners. I don't even think this is a company?? Too lazy to find out because most likely not going to trade this one. 149k daily shares on a $14 stock yuck. Nonetheless I'm posting this one for aesthetic purposes. This is a pretty close pinch.. not exactly the nicest looking...

$EXTN - Exterran Corporation This is another wide pinch. Whenever I see a wider pinch play I'm always aware there could still be room for potential downside. REMEMBER: The tighter the pinch (the closer the PPO/ADX "collide") the less risk you have to the downside. Its kind of like a...

$CRR - Carbon Ceramics This stock is a complete mess. From a high of $183.34 in 2011 to a low of .35 cents now, this caught my eye. Its sold off more after the recent climax as you can see and notice the drift downwards is accompanied by lower and lower vol (which is good), and notice the last...

$XOG - Extraction Oil & Gas This stock has been on my radar since the beginning of October (on my other journal) If you see it initially pinched back in the beginning of Nov but retracted fast and has since made new lows. I'm looking for a double pinch soon and a mark up back to the Value...

When scanning for potential pieces of shit stocks I have a few metrics I abide by. 1. If I'm trading stock the underlying has to be <$15/share. 2. If I'm trading the options I'm speculating for an up-move so I usually trade OTM calls or ATM bull call spreads. 3. Underlying has to be Relatively...

thanks! I figured it out

I agree but its all semantics. Its all encompassing how price action reacts to certain market conditions. I call this set-up the "pinch" set up because when the PPO and ADX converge it literally looks like your index finger and thumb forming a pinch. I have several tickers for this week that I...

Does anyone know how to post images in the post so its already visible for others? Instead of "uploading a file" and having people click the pic to view it bigger?

While I do not consider myself a technician, when I began my journey trading stocks it was the only appealing path, the other being fundamentals which was more of a buy/hold type of way to invest, so technical analysis it was. Since then I've become more quantitative and I use charts more of a...

How do I change the thread title? Mods?

Hey guys, at least I tried lol

All I'm wondering is how does Dest trade an edge in vol index with these type of market conditions? Sorry for my noob-mind I am 29 and only been trading options for 4-5 years and equity for 9.

I'm starting a new journal that focuses solely on pinch plays. What is a pinch play? A pinch is another term for short squeeze. I find stocks or any instrument that has been beaten to death for the last few weeks/months and find an opportune price to scoop some shares or options (if available)...

So, how does one trade index vol at all-time highs with an IV of 13%?

And this is what I'm very curious of.. I'm getting my pen and pad and ready to take notes

/ES +8 late Sunday evening. 3152 No positions on currently.

I always wonder if any of this matters. Meaning.. maybe starting this new decade lets shun the fundamentals and political mumbo and trade strictly price!

Hard work and dedication!

With a name like "persistence" I'm sure you will go far in your journey my friend!
