#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Feb17 – A…

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Feb17 – A pretty good week as almost everthing worked. $SVXY pulled back allowing more puts to be sold, $UVXY rallied so a new set of Weekly Calls could be sold, and $DUST came off the floor allowing some Puts to expire.

A couple of big covered call positions were assigned and closed out profitably, raising more cash for the coming months.

Not all of these will fire to the upside; some will fire down (bearish). According to JC most stocks will run for 3 to 6 bars after they fire. That means that on a Monthly Chart the Stock could be going up or down for 3 to 6 months. Be careful checking earnings before placing a trade though. The squeeze may wait until then to move.
So far, squeezes fire 90% of the time and when they do, there is always an opportunity of good gains.
Good Trading.
