Wednesday's Agenda

I have two prospects for options trades on my desk this morning. CRM, an earnings play, has implied volatility in the 275h percentile of its annual range and so fails to qualify.

KR, a volatility play, has IV in the 54th percentile and so does qualify for further analysis, which I shall post later today.

Turning to shares trades, the three price-channel breakouts --CFFN, GWB and NP -- all reversed and so, as whipsaws, merit no further action.

My Stochastic-RSI signals consist of eight corporate stocks and five exchange-traded fund. My goal is the trade two of the corporates and one fund.

None of the corporates qualify for a trade early in the trading session. I'll check them again later to see if there has been any improvement.

Of the funds, only EPI has a chart sufficiently bullish for my liking, and I shall place a trade this morning.
