How to Trade Uber's Earnings Fall
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Hey trader,
That massive put trade you dismissed as irrelevant? It just became the most important signal on your screen.
Most traders ignore deep out-of-the-money options because the math says they shouldn't matter.
After all, market makers barely hedge them. The probability of profit looks laughable.
So when 20,000 contracts hit my Ghost Prints Surveillance Console at a strike 13% below the current price, it's easy to write it off as noise.
But that assumption breaks down the moment a stock can't hold gains after beating earnings. What looked like a lottery ticket becomes a loaded spring.
UBER's post-earnings collapse reveals exactly how these trades transform from background noise into price-moving catalysts.
Here's how to spot the setup and position yourself before the cascade begins.
News headlines draw a lot of attention. That can be a bad thing if you don't know what really matters in a trade setup.
Lately I have shown examples of trades where an optimistic reporter or company officer tries to spin the data in a positive light. Sometimes these efforts fall flat, and you get the kind of fake move I call a headline squeeze.
If you don't know how to spot it, you will lose money on it.
It is easy to avoid with the right tool.
My Ghost Prints Console detects institutional pressure in post-earnings trades and lets you know what kind of influence is there before price starts moving.
The recent 70% gain on VG and the 38% gain on BTG weren't happy accidents. We saw them coming.
