1/n Thread

I've always wanted to build Tradytics into something that people can just use themselves and be profitable. I personally do not like explicit alerts but many new traders want them so we built tools.

However, I wish everyone starts learning to analyze options flow. 🙏
2/n Eventually, every trader realizes that they need to build their own strategy. They cannot just rely on alerts from others because even if those alerts are good, traders mostly suffer losses just because it's not their own thing.
3/n Services should always be used to couple your trading strategy. You can find "potential" plays by looking at other services but following them blindly doesn't lead to anything in my opinion.
3/n That's where options flow comes in really handy. It's a great tool that lets you build your own strategies by following smart money. It actually makes it easy for you to build a strategy on top of other smart people.
5/n So please, whatever service you want to use, use it. But learn to read charts and options flow and you'll start to become a lot better in your trading.

Risk management is another skill but I myself suck at that so I won't even talk about it here.
6/n Here are a few examples.

$PENN had plenty of large call sweeps early in the morning. I shared them and you can see the performance for yourself.

I had no idea how the chart looked.
7/n Next is $SNAP which was actually down earlier in the day. However, someone believed in it (although a bit longer term) and it indeed turned green.
8/n Last one would be $MARA. I am not cherrypicking these examples, these were the three main ones I shared today.

This contract is actually up about 20% now. All we do is look at smart money and try to follow it by adding some of our own DD.
That's the rant! I myself am learning these things every day but I am amazed at the power of options flow.

Finally, if you are a totally new trader and want some explicit alerts in the beginning, you can get some ideas from our alert tools.

But the end goal should be to learn!

How to find potential plays using our Options Market Dashboard. A small & important thread.

1. First, take a look at the most bullish and bearish net premiums and find the top 3-5 candidates. $SQ $RKT $TSLA $AAPL are a few here. Keep an eye on those and look at live options flow Image
2. Next, go down and take a look at the cheaplies and leaps widgets. These are some of the most useful widgets you'll find on any website, period. $GM is doing well today, see if you can find it here.

Others are $RIO $NLS $XOM. Image
3. Next, go to the Most OTM widget - these are slightly risky candidates but their reward is also extremely high since these are far out of the money contracts with high volume. High volume is there to see if there's interest in it. Another extremely useful widget.

Options flow tip.

How to find bottoms? When you see puts being sold for large premiums and short-term out-of-the-money calls, that is a strong indication that people think we have bottomed. Here's an example of $TSLA. See how there are tons of sold puts and bought calls >= 650.
How do we know whether puts and calls were bought or sold, that's what the side column tells you. Green means puts were sold and calls were bought and red means puts were bought and calls were sold.
Now you do see some 600 puts bought which might actually pan out eventually but their expiration is slightly farther away from the 650 puts sold and 700 calls bought.

Let's make a pact today and save each other from huge losses like $CCIV. No matter how much we like a company/stock, we will never buy when it's overextended from the 20 EMA? Who's in?

I've personally never done it already but I think new traders need to make this a rule. 🤝🤝
Look at the current price of $CCIV and see where it actually fell, right almost on the 20 EMA. This is why you never go in on extended stocks, because sooner or later, most of them fall back on moving averages. This single principle will save you from a lot of your big losses.
Both 20 and 50 moving averages becomes dynamic support levels that many stocks hold quite well especially the stocks in a good uptrend. Please please take care of your money and stop chasing. It will only bring you losses in the long run!

IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL THREAD. 1/n

A quick thread on implied volatility and cash-secured puts for newbie traders and new options traders.

First, implied volatility is the anticipation of how much the price is "expected" to move. Most times, IV < realized volatility. Important!
2/n Why do we care if IV is mostly less than realized volatility. I'll explain.

But first, you also need to know about another loose property of IV. When it gets too high, it mean reverts. What the hell does that mean? Look at $MARA historical IV.
** 1/n It's IV > Realized volatility. Sorry, this is important to get right. Stupid me!

1/n Long but an important educational thread. 🏆🏆🏆

Let's talk about a comprehensive way of finding huge runners using robust statistical techniques. I'll go over examples of $MARA $RIOT $SOLO $GME $MVIS $MKND. Let's stop YOLOing and start making educated decisoins.

Buckle up.
2/n In any financial market, many instruments move together with each other. They can go up together or they can go down together. What quantifies this is called "Correlation".

For instance, $AAPL and $QQQ has a high correlation because they move together.
3/n However, correlation does not help us "PREDICT" anything. It's just a tool that gives us insights into what moves together. Those insights are useful for a variety of purposes like finding sympathy plays, etc. But we don't want to talk about that today.

Played $BBBY for 15% profits today. It went up to about 37% profits but I had a limit sell order that got executed while I was asleep. Here's the trade for others.

Entered yesterday at close because we were hitting the 50 EMA. Expectation was to close on 20EMA today. Did it! 🔥
Why did I enter $BBBY and not $AMC or $GME. I would have entered either $BBBY or $AMC because both of them had a much better options flow than $GME. I already had an $AMC call that was red and $BBBY was right on the moving averages so it made more sense.
The idea here is to look for setups that are close to their support zones (horizontal supports, trendline supports, moving averages), and enter them with strict stop losses below the supports. If they work, you're good, if they don't, you exit with minimal losses.
