Happy Fabulous Friday!

I teach everyday people (like me) to trade options.  I do my best to write in an understandable way as if we are talking over the kitchen table.

The market was down 4 out of 5 days last week. I am typing this on Wednesday, and you won’t get this until Friday. A lot can change in a couple days.   

For today’s Trade of the Day, we will be looking at Wynn Resorts LTD. (WYNN). It is showing a potential 200% gain on a trade we spotted. I have outlined how to set that up below.

Wynn Resorts, Limited designs, develops, and operates integrated resorts. Its Wynn Palace segment operates 424,000 square feet of casino space with 323 table games, 1,035 slot machines, private gaming salons, and sky casinos; a luxury hotel tower with 1,706 guest rooms, suites, and villas, including a health club, spa, salon, and pool; 14 food and beverage outlets; 107,000 square feet of retail space; 37,000 square feet of meeting and convention space; and performance lake and floral art displays. The company was founded in 2002 and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Let’s look at WYNN’s weekly chart.

The ADX -DI (red line) is above the +DI and the black ADX line is curling up.  As long as the -DI is above the +DI, price should fall.  Red above green is an indication of strength. If you want to learn more about­­­­­ ADX, read on or, if not, scroll down to the alert.

If you want to be a profit predator, this pattern is the key. See how to spot it here

Average Direction Index (ADX) – Strength Indicator

The Average Directional Index consists of 3 lines:  Green, Red and Black.

Green = +DI (Bullish)

Red = -DI (Bearish)

Black = ADX Strength Line

The DI line that is on top is in control.  If the ADX line is heading up, strength is supporting the DI line that is on top and in control.

Each candle on the chart represents price movement over a 5-day (week) period; therefore, it takes weeks for trades to play out.  When the -DI crosses over the +DI line, it gives a buy signal for Puts as the -DI line (red) appears as if it is in control and rising to head up on the ADX indicator, and as the ADX turns up that is even more bearish, suggesting a downward move is gaining strength.  When the +DI (green line) crosses the red and the black line points up it shows an upward trend and Calls can be considered.

WYNN Potential Put Trade – Showing Strength

This signal could give a quick payout if it continues its downward move, and the strength of this pattern continues.  I am typing this on Wednesday and WYNN costs about $74.   If WYNN’s price moves below $72 and the – DI (red line) is above the +DI with the black line heading up you could consider a Put trade.  The short-term price target for WYNN is $60 and then, perhaps, lower.  With the swings in past months, I am suggesting small profit targets until a market trend starts again.

Option trading offers the potential of a lower initial investment and higher percentage gain.   Let’s take a look and make a comparison.

It would be silly to buy a stock if you expect the price to go down. You would wait until it hit a bottom then buy.

If you bought 1 Put option covering 100 shares of WYNN with a April 14th  expiration date for the 60 strike the premium would be approximately $2.97 today or $297 for 1 option.  If price fell to $60 over the next few weeks, the premium would likely increase $6.00 giving $600 profit on your $297 investment, this is a 202% gain.  

Trading options is a win, win, win opportunity.   Options often offer a smaller overall investment, covering more shares of stock and potential for greater profits.

I like to stress when trading options, you don’t need to wait for the expiration date to close the trade. You can close anywhere along the way prior to the expiration date.  It is never a bad idea to take profit.

Trading options is like renting stocks for a fixed period of time. The potential to generate steady income with options is real and it can be transforming. Watch this video to learn how you can use option trading to achieve financial freedom. Click here.

Yours for a prosperous future,
