Why Weekly Options?

Trader’s Market

If you are not going to hold a trade longer than a week, why pay for more time than you need?

Weekly options start on a Thursday and expire the following Friday.

Williams %R

%R is similar to Stochastics in measuring overbought & oversold levels The traditional scale is from 0 down to -100

While most use a 10 or 14 bar setting, I use a 30-bar setting It is smoother but still responsive

MY GOAL: To find the Strongest Trends (Up or Down)

Avoid the noise within a trading range

Focus on top (or bottom) 20 percentiles

Avoiding the middle 60 percentiles (20 to 80)

Percent R

BULL TREND: Look for “overbought” reading above -20 Followed by a close above that bar’s high, within the next 5 bars

Confirmation

BEAR TREND: Look for “over-sold” reading below -80 Followed by a close below that bar’s low, within the next 5 bars

Why You MUST have a clear SYSTEM!

More money is lost “trading from the gut” than anywhere else.

Systems require DISCIPLINE How much better can you do with a precise method?

It’s EASY to execute a system; not having one creates stress and trouble

Complexity can cause your Mind to FREEZE (ever done that in a trade?)

A Great System is the Answer
