5月10日星期五，在本辛加电视台直播中，Trading Made Simple LLC的桑德拉·斯通和Zunaid Soleman正在讨论潜在的贸易想法。
Trade 1: Breakout On Microsoft Corp.
Trade 1：微软公司大放异彩
- Reason: The price of $MSFT (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock reaching a key level at 415.00, a break above this level of resistance on the chart, indicating a potential bullish trend and an opportunity for price appreciation. We took a May 17th CALL DEBIT SPREAD 415 CALL/417.50 CALL for .92. A risk defined trade.
- Profit Possibilities: If the breakout is genuine, the stock price could continue to rise, offering limited max profit of 1.58.
- Risk Involved: Breakouts can be false signals, and the price could fall back below the support resistance level of 415.00. A stop-loss order for 25% below the breakout point can help limit potential losses. Total risk on the trade is .92.
- Results: On Monday May 13, $MSFT gapped up over the weekend and opened +60% PROFIT. Taking profit when you have it is a key rule to trading. At the end of the day the remaining contracts were +5% PROFIT. The stock reached $419.00 before falling back to 413.72
- 原因：MSFT（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）股票的价格触及415.00的关键水平，突破了图表上的这一阻力位，表明了潜在的看涨趋势和价格上涨的机会。我们在5月17日拨打了借记点差415的看涨/417.50的看涨期权，价格为0.92。风险定义交易。
- 获利可能性：如果突破是真实的，股价可能会继续上涨，提供有限的最大利润为1.58。
- 涉及的风险：突破可能是错误的信号，价格可能会跌破415.00的支撑阻力位。在突破点下方设定25％的止损订单可以帮助限制潜在损失。交易的总风险为0.92。
- 业绩：5月13日星期一，$MSFT在周末上涨，开盘利润+60％。当你有获利时获利是交易的关键规则。当天结束时，剩余合约的利润为+5％。该股触及419.00美元，然后回落至413.72
Trade 2: Earnings Event Alibaba
Trade 2：财报活动阿里巴巴
- Reason: $BABA (NYSE:BABA) was about to report its quarterly earnings. Depending on expectations, the stock price could react significantly to the news. A review of the last earnings report showed a significant rise before the earnings event. We took a May 17th 80/81 CALL DEBIT SPREAD for .39. This is a risk defined trade.
- Profit Possibilities: The price could surge before and after earnings offering potential profits up to .61.
- Risk Involved: Earnings reports can be unpredictable, and the stock price might not react as anticipated. Volatility leading up to and after the event can also be high. Total risk on the trade was .39 per contract.
-
Results: On Monday May 13th, $BABA rose to $84.60 and the CALL DEBIT SPREAD gained 130% Profit. Taking profits and leaving a runner for the earnings event is a popular strategy.
- 原因：$BABA（纽约证券交易所代码：BABA）即将公布其季度收益。根据预期，股价可能会对这一消息做出重大反应。对上一份收益报告的回顾显示，在财报事件发生之前出现了大幅增长。我们采用了5月17日的80/81通话借记利差，价格为0.39。这是一项风险定义交易。
- 获利可能性：收益前后价格可能会飙升，潜在利润高达0.61。
- 涉及的风险：收益报告可能不可预测，股价可能无法按预期做出反应。事件前后的波动性也可能很高。每张合约的总交易风险为0.39。
- 业绩：5月13日星期一，BABA升至84.60美元，看涨借记利差增长了130％的利润。获利并留出跑步者参加财报活动是一种流行的策略。
