Divergences

Pretty clear now that we have seen a bottom in DELL, holding till $32 now. T started showing early signs of the presence of a 3BRD in MACD, IPG short though closed trade, 10 calls have added in value, ABI is neither here nor there at the moment, futures looking OK at the moment also, mini Silver position was up 0.760 today.

LONG YI Z6 mini Silver 06 future contract

Current at the time of call: $11.19 30% position
PT1: $12.00
PT2: depends
Average down: $10.60 (30%), 9.60 (40%)
Stop: $9.00

A weak A-class BLD on a daily chart in MACD/HIST/RSI/CCI.

Wasn't possible to add to position, so holding 30% here, daily chart started to turn bullish IMHO.

BRD in HIST on a daily chart attached, but daily chart is in an uptrend with a possible double bottom in the mid $7 range. Possible reward outweighs risk here. I would say that this could be a risky trade when looking on the daily chart.

Good job with your option hedge.

Thanks, seemed to work out alright. I ignored the weekly chart on IPG which is bullish and went against the bigger wave by making a trade decision of a daily chart. Whether it was luck or not, I just don't know, but will apply this same tactics on all other positions.

I am thinking that is a very smart hedge looking at the 5 year chart. If it does break through support it should freefall for a bit.

Alright bud :), does look like a bear flag there doesn't it? It just might be a triple BLD, by that time if 2.81 support breaks the puts should start coming alive the closer price gets to $2.50 strike, if that does develop into a triple BLD on a weekly I will reevaluate the situation and will either continue holding in light of increased options value or dump it all. I've got no idea how Jan 07 puts might be priced when/if price breaks $2.50, but current $2.50 calls are around $0.65.

Yeah by the looks of it I think you'll be happy with the hedge. Good luck on it.
