Webinar: Trading In-The-Money Options from the Cup-with-Handle Watchlist

We are offering a "webinar" on how to use alerts from the cup-in-handle watchlist to trade in-the-money options on Monday, 16th June at 6pm Mountain Time. This strategy focuses on using alerts from the CwH watchlist that are also in a "squeeze" and offers the promise of strong returns at low risk.

If you are interested in attending, please send me an email and details on how to attend the webinar will be forwarded to you in the week beginning June 9th.
 
 Weekly Commentary  

 
The NASDAQ continued its rise and again outpaced the other two major indexes. Volume levels continue to be below average with even Thursday's accumulation day failing to better the 50 day average. Nevertheless, the outlook is promising after resistance at 4286 was pierced. The next challenge comes at 4344.

Cup with Handle Squeeze Breakout Probability

In our April 5, 2014 newsletter, I described how I was able to calculate the probability that a stock on the Squeeze Play watchlist would reach its squeeze-off price. This calculation has now been extended to the cup with handle watchlist. Please note that the probability refers to the "Squeeze Off" (SO) price and not the breakout price (which is the handle pivot).
This Week's Top Tip Tips for getting the most out of our site

Interpreting the Cup with Handle Squeeze Off Probability

So we have new metric, now how can we use it? Lets look at a stock setting up  for a breakout on Monday, June 9, 2014.

As of Friday, June 6, 2014, GMCR had the highest probability of a SO breakout (0.81). You can see from it's chart below that the close price (122.07) was just below the handle pivot breakout price (123.62) and the SO price was 124.6. The SO price is above the pivot so if there is a high probability that GMCR will reach the SO price then it follows that there is a high probability that it will reach the breakout price.

Note: just because a stock reaches its breakout price does not mean that it is classed as a breakout, as we require volume to be at least 150% of the 50 day ADV. However, what we are really interested in is gain in price, regardless of volume, so the high probability of a breakout on price is attractive.
