Trade Rationale

If you have read my book, you will notice that I have gone into detail about how I do my mean reversion trades. But the stock market is a multi-dimensional being and if you don't take advantage of all opportunities it gives, you will miss out on a lot of profits. If you are a paying member, you already know how I trade post-earnings by using something called "continuation trades", "support/resistance" trades, and "squeeze trades". This trade is based on Support/Resistance. With SPOT, we had done a really nice post-earnings $145-$150 Bull Call Spread which we closed on 5/20 for an 83% ROI in 20 days. After that, SPOT shot up to almost $200 very quickly. And I was monitoring it for a second opportunity. I missed the first pull back on 5/28, then another on 6/5 and finally got another shot at it yesterday. Notice, every time it bounces from that invisible support line, the stronger that support becomes.
