Interview w/ Theta Profits + Alpha Pod Free Access
Hey {{ contact.FIRSTNAME }},
I sat down with John at Theta Profits and went through how I actually decide whether to back a directional move. GDX as the worked example, start to finish.
A few of the things we got into:
Where the clue is. Charts and fundamentals still matter, right. The problem is everyone else is looking at those two. When something reaches an inflection point, what I’m asking is whether the options market confirms it, or whether it’s quietly telling me to stay out of the way.
The dip flip. What vol, skew and positioning need to look like before I’d play a bounce. The one that matters most to me is put open interest coming down, people banking their hedges.
Trade management and exit. Before I enter a trade, I decide how much I’m willing to lose and size it accordingly, so I’m not making that call under pressure. On directional trades, I’ll bank or roll once I’ve captured most of the potential profit, and the risk reward has deteriorated.
We also covered the four setups I look for, the daily routine, and where I’m getting out when it goes wrong.
