One Trader's Approach to Stock Option Setups

The stock option class identifies long-term trends. The option trading set-up refers to the tail-end price movement. Stock options are a wasting asset and it’s critical to find short-term momentum. The stock option scanner looks for breakouts/breakdowns, gaps, days in a trend, and greenlines/redlines.

A stock that is in a long-term trend and is staging a 10 day breakout/breakdown is significant to an option trader. On a long-term basis you have the wind at your back and on a short-term basis you have momentum.
