Some Examples of what our traders look for:
Look for consecutive buy entries that add up:
$APP ( ▲ 4.52% ) down 20% from these entries. ($63 drop)
What's significant about these Put buys? Four purchases at the same time, 1M total premium all for expiration 4/4 (short term) which is end of next week.
Look for Buying of unusual positions (high expected moves in a short period of time)
$GME ( ▼ 0.5% ) unusual x buys
Red dots are where they purchased the puts - all unusual today (3/27) price down nearly 15% from that initial entry.
$F ( ▲ 0.49% ) this past week, with Tariffs being announced for automakers - 3/25 highs to today's lows down over 5%, plenty of expirations for mid-april, Do we see more pain for $F?
$TEAM ( ▲ 0.01% ) insider trades
(discovered by our trader AndyUgo)
Selling all throughout this year, like Andy said, there's pages and pages of only sells. No insider buying at all. Down 36% from the highs, $118 drop so far. And with the CEO selling more earlier this week, I would not be surprised with more pain to come. Earnings estimated for May 1st.
$BALY ( ▲ 3.18% ) insider trades
Selling since the beginning of the year, Feb 11, and clusters in March. They all happened to sell at the $18 range, and stock is now down to 11.76 in a little over two weeks. down 38% from the highs on March 12
$CRWD ( ▼ 5.77% ) insider trades
Selling reported 2/19, 3/04, and 3/25 President and CEO selling most recently. Price is down 33% from the highs on 2/19 also interesting that they reported a double beat on earnings, but they are selling.
$WSM ( ▼ 0.97% ) insider trades
Selling lately, down 26% from their sells in February
President & CEO, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Financial Officer all unloading their shares.
$SOUN ( ▲ 2.32% ) Insider trades
Selling by many high ranking officials CEO sold right around Xmas, at higher prices stock is down over 64% from end of last year. CTO, CFO, CEO, CPO, VP all selling this week
Filter for: Buys x Premium (high-low)
Keep an eye on the "expected move" column - the higher the number, the more aggressive their position is. Why? because a higher expected move is a risky position to take - time decay costs are high (theta), and if they’re spending millions on that options position, they likely have some inside knowledge to consider.
