Trade Planning:

  • Daily Chart: Uptrend, Consolidation below ATH.
  • TTM Squeeze: N/A
  • Earnings Date: 8/19
  • IV: 59%
  • Potential Profit: $32
  • Potential Loss: $368

Reason For Entry:

  • Playing the Daily chart, Put Credit Spread. This signal is from Omega Options Trading, nice risk to reward in terms of a chart prospective. The break even level is below the 20 MA (historically solid support level). Betting that TGT will close above $128 by expiration on Friday.

Reason For Exit:

  • TGT closed well over the profit level and expired worthless. I was able to collect 100% of the premium for a nice small win.

Recap:

  • The Put Credit Spread setup was correct as the profit level was at a key support level (20 MA). This was an earnings play and was betting that the news would be good enough to keep price action above $128 by expiration Friday. After the news release, price action gapped up and stayed well above the profit level. I was able to collect 100% of the premium. Nice small win overall. image
