Time to Enter the Darkside

Trading the Charts – Examining the CAL Trade

15Apr07

Here’s an example of a recent position based on fundamentals and charts (i.e. technical analysis).
I took the trade for May 40 calls on CAL (Continental Airlines, Inc.) on Feb 30th @ $1.35.  Based on my analysis I figured there was a short term top on oil at 66 and with airlines hammered there was a great probability for a [...]
