I added a 50-day Percent R. If I buy when they're both oversold, sometimes they both get to overbought and then some, sometimes the 20 gets to overbought but the 50 doesn't, sometimes the 20 doesn't make it to overbought, but it made sense to me to have it.
I made three screeners to pick stocks from and eliminated having a watchlist of candidates to keep current.
4th String catches 100 %R above the oversold 50 %R. Is sometimes good for a short-term trade even if the price is above the bottom lane provided that the LRC is rising.
I was buying along and I bought some Wayfair and it seemed like a real honey hole, so I checked to see if it is listed on the Snider Advisors Free Covered Call Screener, which I haven't been using lately, and it was. What if Snider Advisor quits offering it? I hadn't figured out how to use the Barchart covered call screener. So I figured it out.
The only screener I use now is the covered call screener. Gotta trade where the money is. The LRC 600,2 and LRC 600,4 make a four-lane. The LRC 600,2 contains 95% of all prices. The LRC 600,4 contains 99% of all prices. If the MACDs are favorable, the price could rise over a lane in two weeks. If the MACDs are unfavorable, the price could fall over a lane in two weeks. Read the MACDs and LRCs and Percent Rs well to see if the best payers will pay off.
I changed the covered call screener setting. Seems like I get narrowed-down realistic chances of making a modest profit on stocks that have bottomed out and I don't get so many IPOs.
Barchart has updated their interactive charts. They load faster. Barchart hasn't got the "CLONE STUDY" feature updated yet, though. PoopyDeek says naked puts and covered calls are synthetically the same thing. I think it's debatable that they are literally always the same thing, but it does seem like it could be profitable to use naked puts to acquire stock cheaper and to make money without acquiring stock. I set up a naked put screener using the same settings as my covered call screener.
I have adopted the Wheel strategy and it seems like SPY is excellent for a beginner. Expires more than once a week. Can sell far OTM puts with little chance of getting assigned shares.
I got a little overinvested in naked puts, might have turned out okay but the outlook is very bearish. I bailed on the wheel strategy and started trading credit spreads like David Jaffee.
