Caesars Entertainment Corporation owns, operates, or manages casino entertainment facilities. Its casino entertainment facilities include land-based casinos, riverboat or dockside casinos, and managed casinos, as well as casinos combined with a thoroughbred racetrack and a harness racetrack. Today we saw a trader bought 1,403 CZR 5.2.2014 18 Calls for $1.05 debit per a lot. This is bullish trade where a trader thinks the stock can move higher and maybe it is due to the catalyst event next week. Lets breakdown the trade:

Calpine Corporation, a wholesale power generation company, owns and operates natural gas-fired and geothermal power plants in North America. Today a trader bought over 2,500 CPN May 22 Calls for $.60 debit. This trader has the right, but not obligation to buy 250,000 shares at $22 between now and expiration. I got into this trade a little too late, but I think CPN can move higher as the options activity that we saw was 30 times the usual volume it trades in a day. I think that CPN can trade north of $23, so I bought the CPN May 22 Calls for $.80 debit. Lets break down this trade.

The Trade: I bought the CPN May 22 Calls for $.80
Risk: $80 per 1 lot
Targets: $.95, $1.10, and $1.25

Greeks of this Trade:
Delta: Long
Gamma: Long

My Trade: Buying the Jan 2015 65 Calls for $4.55

My favorite technical indicator is the Ichimoku Cloud also referred to as known as “The Cloud.”  This indicator is a free plug-in on TradingView, but a trader must know which time frame to use for the indicator.  The Ichimoku works best on the 4 Hour bar for forex and today we see a great signal for a mild pullback trader who likes to trade with the trend.

Let’s breakdown the trade:

Short EUR/USD at 1.378 at 12PM CST on the close of the bar
STOP LOSS: 1.3835
Target #1: 50% of the Stop: 1.3752
Target #2: 100% of the Stop: 1.372
Target #3: 150% of the Stop: 1.369
Target #4: 200% of the Stop: 1.3656

Once I hit Target #2, if I want, I can move my stop to breakeven.
