I tend to focus on small-cap trading.
But after the January effect wore off, they have crashed 15%.

Making it challenging to go long small-caps.
But because volatility is through the roof, Call and Put option trading offers opportunities.

Last week's Lightning Alerts in review:
Monday March 13
I traded against fear, buying UVXY Puts. And went long on technology, buying QQQ Calls.


Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
Tuesday March 14
I continued to trade against fear, buying UVXY Puts and went long small-caps buying IWM calls as bank stocks bounced.


Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
Wednesday March 15
Charles Schwab insiders loaded up on shares.

The CEO called the company "a safe port in a storm." He backed it up by buying nearly $3 million for SCHW shares.
I continued to trade against fear, buying UVXY Puts into spikes, bought Calls and sold Puts on Charles Schwab.

Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
Thursday March 16
With technology stocks becoming a safe haven, NFLX started to bounce which triggered some big wins for Calls I'd bought and Puts I'd sold.

I continued to trade against fear, buying UVXY Puts into spikes and had a nice win on small-caps buying IWM Calls.

Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
Friday March 17
A near dated $60 Call on SCHW expired worthless on me but all of the other SCHW Call trades worked well.


Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
The blurred out trades are swings I alerted Friday.

Biggest win: 65% or $24,800
Biggest loss: 100% or $13,652
Win %: 94
Max consecutive win: 18
Max consecutive loss: 1
Avg. winner hold time: 1 day
Avg. loser hold time: 22 hours
P/L: $143,957.42
Results not typical. Trading is hard. Most traders lose money. Nothing guaranteed.
For the week ahead I like technology stocks to continue. As you can see the daily squeeze is just getting started.

I also think small-caps will bottom and volatility will subside.
I anticipate another busy week of trading.
