TMUS Weekly Options PlayDescription TMUS began its bear market following the major trendline break in August. It has now broken through major support at 108.5 established SEP - OCT of 20'. The break through 108.5 is the signal for the entry, and also the stop loss for the position. Using long puts to leave the downside open. The level of the VIX right now is my primary concern in opening long option positions. I consider all of my positions risky, and manage risk accordingly. Long Put Levels on Chart SL > 108.5 PT : 92 *Stops based off underlying stock price, not mark to market loss The Trade BUY 12/31 100P R/R & Breakevens vary on fill.

F ATH Break Weekly Options PlayDescription F has chopped around in this congestion pattern, a Rectangle, for 31 days following it's ATH run-up after the break on 28OCT. The Rectangle carries the same price implications as the Symmetrical Triangle, representing an equal balance between buyers and sellers, until one side eventually wins out and pushes the price beyond the upper or lower boundary indicating a shift in supply & demand. This particular rectangle is confined in a very tight range, slightly broadening and displays descending volume throughout (good indication of proper congestion pattern). Although the broadening is characteristic of the current market environment, this weakens the general technical strength of the pattern. Using Long Calls to maintain a positive vega. Long Call Levels on Chart SL < 20.5 PT : No price target set for the ATH , looking for a sharp move. The entry is a daily close over 20.5 . *Stops based off underlying stock price, not mark to market loss The Trade BUY 12/31 21C R/R & Breakevens vary on fill.

Not all gaps will be filled, but they give a good clue as to how supply and demand will play out.
