Fractals may know what the markets will do next

When you learn how to combine high probability option strategies with fractal energy—a world of opportunities opens up for you. 

Today I’m going to walk you through my Options Profit Planner system. 

Watch and learn as I show how I became RagingBull’s most consistent trader. 

 

Options Profit Planner

 

Options Profit Planner combines the power of options, technical analysis, and the internal market energy to strategically place trades in stocks with extremely high probability of winning.

This technique is built upon the casino industry where the house, or options seller, is structured around collecting a steady stream of income each and every month.  

By distributing their odds across many income streams (stocks) no one big winner will cause the casino to go bankrupt.

So, how exactly do we do that while trading options?

A steady stream of income can be achieved by selling options and spreads in order to put the house-odds in my favor.  

But first, let’s talk about Fractal Energy and how it can be used to spot our next trade.

 

Fractal Energy

 

Fractal Energy is one of nature’s most beautiful mathematical equations, defining coastal patterns and snowflake designs.  

A fractal is a never-ending pattern. 

Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing loop. 

When searching for ways to tap into the inner workings of the stock market, I knew right away Fractal Energy would do the job!

 

Fractal Energy Indicator

 

The power of fractals allows me to determine the strength of trends and how much “life” is remaining in a stock’s movement.  

There are 2 main components of Fractal Energy:

  1. Markets Fractal Pattern
  2. The Internal Energy 

Fractals are found throughout everything in nature, from plants to shorelines… and even the financial markets!

Energy is the term used to describe the stored or potential energy a stock has built up.  Like a spring that is compressed, it stores potential energy and erupts when you release the force that is keeping it held together.

Which is similar to what happens in stock when 

And by combining those two different components you create a single indicator that is able to successfully determine the strength or weakness of a trend on any stock.

Fractals tap into the inner strength of every stock across every time frame giving you the most comprehensive understanding of what a stock is going to do in the future.

 

The Trade

 

Now, let’s take a look at some examples of how Fractal Energy picks the bottoms and tops of the markets and how to trade these trends.

Since we know that Fractal Energy signals trend strength by measuring the internal energy of a stock, we can use this information to determine key reversals a stock might make.

Let’s take a look at a recent trade that combined Fractal Energy with technical indicators to find a key reversal level.

This is an example of how Fractal Energy combined with Bollinger Bands was able to pick the bottom on Boeing after the massive selloff!

Let’s review another example of the Fractal Energy on the SPY that I covered in my weekly update and what I see going on in this recent rally.

What do I see?

Well there are two things that stand out immediately:

  1. The stock price is starting to approach key resistance levels at the upper band 
  2. Fractal energy is starting to become exhausted.  

What does this mean?

The Bollinger Band tends to act like ropes of a boxing ring, where price gets pushed back into the range.

And as we get close or breach the upper Bollinger Band, we tend to get a stall or pullback in price.

So as we approach these levels, a walk sideways or pullback forming a new higher-low stair step pattern is likely.

At this time, it’s best to take a look at higher time frames for supporting signals.  

Note:  When you use multiple time frames, you are actually using Fractals to analyze the energy between a stock at different intervals.

Now by looking at a higher time frame for what the stock is doing, we see a few key levels coming up.

What I notice from the weekly chart:

  1. The markets have rallied from their lows and made a significant bounce from trading so far outside Bollinger Bands
  2. The fractals are still weak and showing near exhausted readings on the indicator

What does this mean for trading the SPY?

This means that the stock is at a point where it needs to rebuild some of that energy it has spent.  

And like most trends, the SPY needs to go through cycles of regenerating energy after expending energy.  But we cannot continue this trend too much longer since the upper time frames are not supporting this move much longer.  

So, in order for the move to continue higher -regeneration can be done by either a pause or a slight pullback in the SPY.    

The trade setup I’m looking for is the SPY’s Fractal Energy to regenerate back into the 50’s and become fully charged up again.

If this occurs, then Fractal Energy will be released and will drive the markets significantly higher throughout the summer.

So… let’s review a way a trader can get long the markets without having to buy any stock.

 

Selling Options and Credit Spreads

 

In order to get long, a trader is left with only a handful of choices, and those are buying stock or buying calls.

And to be honest, both are usually a terrible idea and there are times when you could be right on the direction and still lose on the trade because of other factors such as Implied Volatility decreasing the price of the stock on you.  

One strategy you might not have heard of is a credit put spread, and that’s the trade we are going to focus on when looking to go long the stock.

Definition: A credit spread, or net credit spread is an options strategy that involves a purchase of one option and a sale of another option in the same class and expiration but different strike prices. It is designed to make a profit when the spreads between the two options narrows.

Simply put – a credit spread strategy will make you money, while a debit spread strategy will cost you money.  

This is the house vs the gambler.

And at Options Profit Planner, I want the house odds in my favor as the business owner and expect to have steady money coming in, not going out!

A credit spread involves selling a high-premium option while purchasing a low-premium option in the same stock and option type.

As a credit trader you have 4 strategies to generate income for your business.

The 4 main trades are:

  1. Short Put
  2. Short Call
  3. Short Put Spread
  4. Short Call Spread

In order to trade the SPY long, it would be best to implement a credit put spread.  

This trade will allow me to take advantage of the expected stalling out to slight pullback in the stock price in the near future.  

 

Wrapping up

 

A fractal is a never-ending pattern and is repeatable and found across everything in nature, such as, coast lines, pine cones, and snowflakes. 

Fractals are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing loop. Meaning that a pattern working on a weekly time frame will work all the way down to a 1 minute time frame.

And when you are selling options, you put the house odds in your favor!

Only then do you then have a winning combination that can give you the best shot at making money in the markets!

Now – start tapping into the inner workings of the stock market and make Fractal Energy a cornerstone of your trading business!
