Week five of receipts. July 27–31.

6 options trades: 3 wins, 3 losses. $SPY 740C +17% on four scales was the best-executed of the week. $QQQ 680C +15%, $QQQ 685C +9%.

The losses: $SMH 580C -43% overnight, $QQQ 688C lotto -43%, $QQQ 687C -54%.

That last one is the story. I stopped out of QQQ 688C at 7:05am, then bought 687C at 7:52 — same ticker, same expiry, 47 minutes later. It was the worst loss of the week.

Also closed the share book this week: $HOOD flat, $QCOM -1.5%, $ARM -11%. $MU shares from 7/30 still open at 815.44, carrying into next week.

Top Trade Ideas — Tuesday

$SPX through 7620 opens 7688–7700, with a path to 8000 by September. Hold 7550 and the trend stays up. 7640C above 7620.

$MU winding up for a move back to 900+ on a positive SNDK earnings reaction. Aug 7 920C best above 840.

$SNDK earnings Wednesday night is the event. 1600 in play on a good print — calls work above 1300 as a lotto into it.

$NVDA through 212 and holding is the one that gets SMH and the whole semi complex running.

$PLTR blew out earnings, up 10% overnight. Hold 136–138 for a shot back to 151.

$AMZN crossed $3T — hold 276 and 300+ is in play.

Dip-buyer's market, not a breakout market. Semis haven't even moved yet, when they do, this grinds higher.

Trade Plan for Tuesday

$SPX defended 7400 after a 100-pt swing. Hold it through FOMC Wednesday and 7500’s back in play — lose it and puts open up. Watching 7470P under 7485.

$ARM earnings Wednesday — positive reaction puts 300 in play.

$MU watch 821. Lose it and 650 is possible on a panic sell.

$NVDA 190P under 195.44.

$AAPL 342.5C above 339.57.

$PLTR 135C above 132.41.

Volatility picking up ahead of FOMC — trade lighter, let the levels come to you.

$SPX $ARM $MU $NVDA $AAPL $PLTR

[Golden Horns Trading @GoldenHornsLLC]

Big gap up but don't chase — real move comes Wednesday with FOMC + earnings.

Top trades today:
$AAPL 340C — above 335
$CRWD 200C — above 189.40
$GOOGL 332.5C — above 326
$ARM 242.5P — under 258.43
$QQQ must reclaim 700.

$SPX needs 7500 or range day continues.

[Golden Horns Trading @GoldenHornsLLC]

This is the most important week of the summer. FOMC + big tech earnings. Don’t force trades, wait for the reaction, then trade.

What we’re watching:
$SPX hold 7400 or 7333 comes fast
$QQQ must reclaim 686 or 664 next
$MU relative strength — 821 is the key level
$AAPL above 335 → 344, ATH in play
$META earnings Wed — 550P under 600

MAG7 correlation fell from 0.78 → 0.27 in 12 months. This is no longer one trade. Stock picker’s market now.

Wednesday changes everything.

#SPX #OptionsTrading #GoldenHornsPRO #FOMC

[Golden Horns Trading @GoldenHornsLLC]

Week four of receipts. July 20–24.

11 trades: 6 wins, 5 losses. Avg winner +27%. Best: $NBIS 230C +43%, $MRVL 210C +30% overnight, three $QQQ trades between +19% and +28%.

Zero positions held to zero this week.

The breach: Monday I sold $QQQ 705C at -21%, then re-bought the same strike two minutes later. It went -46%. Same-day re-entry is the one rule I'd already written down, and I broke it inside 120 seconds.

Everything else held. Lottos sized for zero, cores managed off the levels. The re-entry is the fix for next week.

Every trade alerted live.

[Golden Horns Trading @GoldenHornsLLC]

$SPX must hold 7400 or 7300 comes fast.

Top trades today:
$MU hold 980 → 1000 test, relative strength
$META retest 600 → 615
$AMD above 561 → 575
$TSLA above 424 → 451

Sell bounces below 7470. Size way down — not the day to be a hero.

Trade Plan for Lotto Friday

$SPX needs 7438 back to stabilize. Under 7376 opens 7360, then 7333.

$QQQ held 687 and closed on 691.67. As long as 686 holds, the summer uptrend is intact.

$MU strongest name on the sheet. Through 1000 and a run to 1030 can come quick.

$MRVL open above 217 and it can see 227.

$ARM through 300 or a backtest of 291.
Memory and semis are where the money is.

Good luck tomorrow.

Did anyone catch the $MU 1000C today?

[Golden Horns Trading @GoldenHornsLLC]

Top trades today:
$MU 1000C — lotto, relative strength today
$SPX 7350P — if 7400 fails
$AMD above 561 → 575
$META retest 600 → 615
