Short Interest Squeeze in Zillow (Z)
In today’s video, we’ll walk through the fairly simple process of finding high short interest squeeze opportunities.
We start by first using our Bullish Squeeze Signal scan. The Squeeze Signal is an indicator that we’ve built as part of the Squeeze Course, which helps us find stocks likely to have a momentum move higher.
Next, we’ll copy all of those stocks directly from ThinkOrSwim, and paste them into an Excel sheet. We use this formula to then comma separate the list:

Read MoreRNG Options Trades Winner Follow Up (Stock Up +9%)
On August 30, 2020, we set up 4 different options trades in Ring Central (RNG), looking for a bullish move to $320.
We were looking at the September series options with 19 DTE, but got the move much sooner in less than 2 days. In today’s video, we’ll do a follow up on picking smart targets, along with an update to the option’s pricing to gauge which strategy was most effective.
The 4 trades that we had set up were:
1 – Long Call ($4.90 now worth $14.90)
2 – Long Call Debit Spread ($3.00 now w
4 Options Trade Ideas in Ring Central (RNG)
In today’s video, I’d like to focus on one stock, which I think has some trade opportunities setting up. We’ll spend some time evaluating the stock chart on a daily time frame, along with its option’s chain.
The stock that we’ll be taking a look at is Ring Central — they started by making the video doorbell, and have expanded their line of offering to a suite of security, and some even non-security applications now.
That’s to say – their product line has been gradually expanding, and I woul

In today’s video, we’ll spend some time going through the Squeeze Signals scan results, to try and find clusters of stocks/ETFs in the same sector.
The Squeeze Signals indicator is an indicator which helps us to combine the power of the Triple Pro Squeeze, along with patterns that usually tend to lead to some nice momentum-burst type movements. We build this indicator as part of the Triple Squeeze Course (free for Volatility Box members): https://www.tosindicators.com/squeeze-course

Read MoreTrading FOMC Volatility – Futures & Stock Setups
With the FOMC event today, we saw a burst of volatility in our futures markets leading to a series of breaches in /ES, /NQ, /GC and /HG.
The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Copper futures trades were all winners, while the Gold trade was a loser. In today’s video, we’ll do a recap of all 5 of the trade setups that we had today, for a net P/L of +$805.
Outside of that, we’ll also talk about some swing trade setups that are still active and valid. With Powell’s remarks, we can look to take advantage of ar
Read MoreHigh Short Interest and Bullish Squeeze in Lumentum (LITE)
In less than 5 minutes, we’re going to scan through 60 stocks to find high short interest trade opportunities (using the weekly time frame).
The scan that we use in today’s video is our Edge Signals scan, looking to find places where we had the signal print bullish with last week’s close. We also overlaid a squeeze condition on top, looking for a squeeze likely to fire long.
Using that list, we have these 4 stocks, that looked interesting and had relatively high short interest:
IFF,
VCTY,

SPY, QQQ, DIA and IWM Buy Zones and Triggers
We saw a broader sell off in the indices with Friday’s trading, leading many top weighted holdings to start to pull back to entry zones.
In this video, we’re going to use a few different perspectives (and indicators) to create a game plan, with specific levels that I’m interested in buying as support on the SPY, QQQ, DIA, and IWM.
We’re going to use the following tools for the analysis:
1. Put Call Ratio in the Utility Labels
2. Market Pulse Line
3. Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions
4.

Read MoreManaging a Small Loser in the S&P 500 Futures
We’ve had a nice winning streak with our futures trading over the past few weeks, which ended today with a small loser in the S&P 500 Futures. We also discuss a couple trade setups in COST and KR.
Our Trade Plan is designed with a set of rules in mind to keep us out of trouble, more times than not. In the case of the /ES futures, our rules did just that. We had an opportunity to short the S&P 500 as the markets slammed into our Volatility Box levels in the 10-11 am PT hour.
However, we did n
Read MoreHigh Short Interest Update in CHWY and PETS
Over the weekend, we set up trades in CHWY and PETS, with the help of our new short interest scanner.
Both CHWY and PETS had high short interest, but we also had some key executives selling their shares. This gave us a reason to be cautious, and set up more of a hedge-type trade, as opposed to an outright directional play.
Our final trade was looking for a bullish move in CHWY, with a bearish hedge in PETS, which was the weaker of the two charts.
Since making the video, CHWY has increased +1
