If you’ve followed King’s Corner closely, you know all about my history… How I grew up as a kid with a knack for trading baseball cards… How I parlayed that knack into a trading job at the CBOE… How I almost lost everything I had there… And how I recalibrated on the other side of the world and made a fortune on the comeback…
This week was brutal. At the lowest point yesterday, the S&P 500 had dropped 3.7% since the start of the week… And the NASDAQ had dropped 4.4%. That was after the Fed took stocks to the cleaners on Friday. So, the question for us traders is: How can we stay afloat in this volatility? The answer is timing. Knowing when to act, and when not to, is a real skill.
On Friday the DOW sold off over 1,000. But through the Trade Kings scanners, we immediately saw a change in how the big institutions were trading… So, what kind of tactics are the big hedge funds using right now?
What I do is probably simpler than any other trading strategy in this space. I watch unusual order flow from Wall Street elites, hedge funds, and institutions… And I mimic their positions. If they invest six digits or more in a specific option contract, I take the same exact trade and either put my own money into it or recommend it to you. It sounds simple… but it’s effective.
Our experts have a tall order this week: What’s the next black swan — AND the best trade to profit from it?
