Cheniere Energy (LNG) is an energy company engaged in the liquefied natural gas  related business. It operates through two segments, LNG Terminal Business, and LNG and Natural Gas Marketing Business. Today a trader bought 8300 LNG Jan 2015 65-80 Bull Call Spreads and sold the 45 Puts for $.40 credit. This trader will get LONG LNG at two different levels, $45 and $65. This is a bullish bet and the trader will make money as long as LNG stays above $44.60 by Jan 2015 expiration.

My Trade: Buying the Jan 2015 65 Calls for $4.55
Risk: $455 per 1 lot
Reward: Unlimited
Targets: 5, $5.00 and up every $.40

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.

Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) is an alternative energy technology provider which engages in the design, development, commercialization, and manufacturing of fuel cell systems for markets around the world. We have noticed some interesting unusual options activity in PLUG during today’s trading session. Earlier today, a trader bought 7,000 of the PLUG Apr 4^th weekly 7 puts for $0.80. This is a very large order that had this trader putting $560,000 at risk. We believe that order flow this strong sets up well for a short in PLUG with a good reward to risk set up.

My Trade: I bought the PLUG Apr 4th Weekly 7 Puts for $.80
Risk: $80 per 1 lot
Reward: $620 per 1 lot
Breakeven: $6.20

Teck Resources Limited (TCK) is an integrated mining company with operation in Canada. The stock is currently trading around $21.65 in a 52 week range of $19.98-$30.02. Shares of TCK have been underperforming the market this year with stock falling nearly 17% year to date. Options traders seem to think this trend will continue as orders hitting the tape today are decidedly bearish. Early in today’s trading session a trader bought 6,000 of the TCK May 20-18 put spreads for $0.33. This is a bearish trade that requires this trader to lay out nearly $200,000 in premium. This block also represents volume over 6 times the average daily option volume in TCK.  With shares of TCK trading well below the Ichimoku Cloud and a downward sloping future cloud we believe that this bearish order flow in TCK can justify a short position.

Trade: Buying the TCK May 20-18 Put Spreads for $0.30
Risk: $30 per 1 lot
Reward: $70 per 1 lot
Breakeven: $19.70.
