On Friday May 10th, Live on Benzinga TV, Sandra Stone with Trading Made Simple LLC and Zunaid Soleman were discussing potential trade ideas.
5月10日星期五，在本辛加電視臺直播中，Trading Made Simple LLC的桑德拉·斯通和Zunaid Soleman正在討論潛在的貿易想法。
Trade 1: Breakout On Microsoft Corp.
Trade 1：微軟公司大放異彩
- 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 $419.00 before falling back to 413.72
- 原因：MSFT（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）股票的價格觸及415.00的關鍵水平，突破了圖表上的這一阻力位，表明了潛在的看漲趨勢和價格上漲的機會。我們在5月17日撥打了借記點差415的看漲/417.50的看漲期權，價格爲0.92。風險定義交易。
- 獲利可能性：如果突破是真實的，股價可能會繼續上漲，提供有限的最大利潤爲1.58。
- 涉及的風險：突破可能是錯誤的信號，價格可能會跌破415.00的支撐阻力位。在突破點下方設定25％的止損訂單可以幫助限制潛在損失。交易的總風險爲0.92。
- 業績：5月13日星期一，$MSFT在週末上漲，開盤利潤+60％。當你有獲利時獲利是交易的關鍵規則。當天結束時，剩餘合約的利潤爲+5％。該股觸及419.00美元，然後回落至413.72
Trade 2: Earnings Event Alibaba
Trade 2：業績活動阿里巴巴
- 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（紐約證券交易所代碼：BABA）即將公佈其季度收益。根據預期，股價可能會對這一消息做出重大反應。對上一份收益報告的回顧顯示，在業績事件發生之前出現了大幅增長。我們採用了5月17日的80/81通話借記利差，價格爲0.39。這是一項風險定義交易。
- 獲利可能性：收益前後價格可能會飆升，潛在利潤高達0.61。
- 涉及的風險：收益報告可能不可預測，股價可能無法按預期做出反應。事件前後的波動性也可能很高。每張合約的總交易風險爲0.39。
- 業績：5月13日星期一，BABA升至84.60美元，看漲借記利差增長了130％的利潤。獲利並留出跑步者參加業績活動是一種流行的策略。
