\"\"<\/p>\n

The “macro” landscape behind this market is confusing me.<\/p>\n

You would think when emerging markets see enough risk, it would lead to some kind of selling in domestic markets.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Turkish Lira is getting clobbered. The South African Rand crashed. The Argentine Peso crashed. We’re starting to see more spillover in other currencies.<\/p>\n

The bearish view here is that dollar strength is a direct result of central bank tightening, and it will eventually matter to the markets.<\/p>\n

That’s the disconnect I see. Emerging market volatility is continuing to ratchet higher, while SPX vol is near its 6 month lows.<\/p>\n

This could be nothing. It could be my own bias of wanting the market to pullback so I can get better entries. I’m not expecting a 1997 EM crisis or anything.<\/p>\n

Over the past few days, the market has pulled in a tiny bit, but it really isn’t much. Underneath the surface there has been rotation. AAPL has gone absolutely bananas, and I want to fade that here.<\/p>\n

As for the overall market, I think we’re due for a pull in. There’s a gap on the S&P at 2875 that is begging to be filled.<\/p>\n

Trade #1: AAPL<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a parabolic short. The stock has 3 days in a row above its upper bollinger band, and it’s currently 13% above it’s 50 day moving average… that doesn’t happen very often. I like scaling into call spread sales at these prices.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 227<\/p>\n

Sell to Open AAPL Oct 245\/250 Call Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tier 1: Enter at 0.60, Exit at 0.10<\/p>\n

Tier 2: Enter at 0.90, Exit at 0.40<\/p>\n

Tier 3: Enter at 1.20, Exit at 0.70<\/p>\n

Trade #2: LULU<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a Post Earnings Announcement Drift setup, where we expect the stock to stay bid for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 158.70<\/p>\n

Sell to Open LULU Oct 145\/140 Put Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tier 1: Enter at 0.70, Exit at 0.20<\/p>\n

Tier 2: Enter at 1.00, Exit at 0.50<\/p>\n

Tier 3: Enter at 1.30, Exit at 0.80<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
