Monday's Agenda

None of the seven symbols on my desk this morning qualifies for further analysis. All but one, MYL,have implied volatility too low to meet my standards. MYL has insufficient open interest to support a trade.

So I'm rejecting the seven without further analysis. I shall keep an eye on MYL during the day, and in the unlikely event that its open interest improves, then I'll reconsider my decision.

A table of prospects with their implied volatility expressed as a percentile of their most recent ranges.

Elliott wave analysis tracks patterns in price movements. StockCharts has a good explainer. The principal practioner of Elliott wave analysis is Robert Prechter at Elliott Wave International. His book, Elliott Wave Principle, is a must-read for people interested in this form of analysis, as is his most recent publication, Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading
