S&P 500 ETF Making New Highs

Dear Reader,

Yesterday, we looked at a Monthly Price Chart of Marsh and Mclennan Co. noting the stock’s 1-Month Price is trading above the 10-Month SMA signaling a ‘Buy’.

For today’s Trade of the Day we will be looking at a Daily Price chart for the ProShares UltraPro S&P500 ETF, symbol: UPRO.

Before breaking down UPRO’s daily price chart let’s first review the investment objective of the ETF.

The UPRO ETF seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to three times the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the fund's investment objective. The index is a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance.

Now, let’s begin to break down the Daily Price chart for UPRO. Below is a Daily Price Chart with the price line displayed by an OHLC bar.

Buy the UPRO ETF

The Daily Price chart above shows that the UPRO ETF has been hitting new 52-Week Highs regularly since late July.

Simply put, an ETF does not just continually hit a series of new 52-Week Highs unless it is in a very strong bullish trend.

The Hughes Optioneering team looks for ETFs that are making a series of 52-Week Highs as this is a good indicator that the ETF is in a powerful uptrend.

You see, after an ETF makes a series of two or more 52-Week Highs, the ETF typically continues its price uptrend and should be purchased.

Our initial price target for UPRO is 133.50 per share.

Profit if UPRO is Up, Down or Flat

Now, since UPRO is currently making a series of 52-Week Highs and will likely rally from here, let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a UPRO call option spread.

The Call Option Spread Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option spread based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a 7.5% increase to a 7.5% decrease in the UPRO ETF at option expiration.

The goal of this example is to demonstrate the ‘built in’ profit potential for option spreads and the ability of spreads to profit if the underlying ETF is up, down or flat at option expiration. Out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don’t list the option strike prices used in the profit/loss calculation.

The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current ETF and option pricing for UPRO on 8/9/2021 before commissions.

Built in Profit Potential

For this option spread, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost of the spread is $325 (circled). The maximum risk for an option spread is the cost of the spread.

The analysis reveals that if the UPRO ETF is flat or up at all at expiration the spread will realize a 53.8% return (circled).

And if the UPRO ETF decreases 7.5% at option expiration, the option spread would make a 51.2% return (circled).

Due to option pricing characteristics, this option spread has a ‘built in’ 53.8% profit potential when the trade was initiated.

Option spread trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional option trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat.

A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees.

No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have subsequently experienced losses. The cost basis for some of the options in a portfolio may be reduced by rolling over profits at option expiration which is one of the Hughes Optioneering Trade Management Rules. Some income figures presented represent the total amount of option premium collected during the referenced period. Actual profits were less. Open trade profit results may have increased or decreased when the trades were closed out. Chuck Hughes' experiences are not typical.
