I use four strategies in my trading, in response to trading signals (such as breakouts above the 20-day price channel), high implied options volatility, and persistently rising trends on a charts signaled by the stochastic-relative strength index indicator, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).
| options | shares | |
|---|---|---|
| price channel | N/A | N/A |
| earnings | 0 | 2 |
| volatility | 0 | N/A |
| stochastic-rsi | N/A | 1 |
I shall make final trading decisions on Monday, Nov. 21.

Notes
The current earnings season ends Nov. 22. The next season begins in mid-January.
Three symbols technically qualify for options volatility plays. However, TLT and GDXJ have in the shorter term had rapid declines in volatility, and I judge that most of the profit potential has passed. TBT, a fund that shorts and magnifies longer-term bonds issued for 20 years or longer, including U.S. Treasuries. I'm steering clear of it because of the political uncertainties impacting U.S. sovereign debt. I'm passing them all without further analysis.
