The Line That Acts Like a Wall for Every Stock

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: The Line That Acts Like a Wall for Every Stock We’re halfway through the week. And after our primers on straddles and strangles and options skew, today we’re taking it all one step further. Because there’s a level on every chart that’s key to each of the trades we make in Masters in Trading – one that price respects over and over again. The expected move. It’s how far the market thinks a stock can move over a given period — typically 30 days – derived directly from options pricing. Market makers — the ones selling those options — are constantly hedging around these levels. And that hedging creates real price pressure, creating both support and resistance that can open a multitude of trade setups for us. We saw this play out recently in a big way with gold. Via GLD, the bellwether metal pulled right back to its expected move. And right at that level? Massive call buying to the tune of $14.4 million in calls vs. just $2.1 million in puts. That’s not random. That’s buyers stepping in at a level where the market expects support. Same thing with PBR. In that case, we managed to get in early – and the community locked in gains. That’s the edge. Not guessing where a stock goes… But understanding where it’s likely to stall, reverse, or break. In today’s episode of Masters in Trading, I’ll walk you through exactly how we use expected move every single day to find the most profitable trade setups in the options market.
