Two pins last week on SPY and one fail which you can see below.
If you have not yet subscribed to my weekly freebie you can do so below to get next weeks free trade IDEA (not alert – if you want an entry and exit alert you need to be a subscriber) sent to your mailbox Monday morning. Last weeks trade was FB. It triggered and so far got to it’s first target (a winner). At SassyOptions we bought next week calls for $1.24 and sold 1/2 for $3.0 and currently holding the other 1/2.
Below are the stats since weekly freebie began sending emails:
- 17 wins (I only count wins when they are either big wins or where there was enough time to take profits).
- 6 that didn’t trigger
- 7 scratch trades
- 1 loss

SPY-M: (18 of 29 for pins).* The best pin for Monday is between 292 and 293; although, there is some wiggle room with put support at 292 and call resistance at 294. The put support isn’t super strong so a trending day down can puncture those puts; however, it would be much harder for price to close above 294 on Monday.
SPY-W: (77 of 105 pins).* The best pin for Monday is 292.5, but there isn’t that much put support or call resistance around that area so a trending day can definitely move away from that. The closest relevant put support is 290 and if price gets over 293 then there isn’t much in the way till a bit of call resistance at 295. Also, there is two days for this to change and any significant moves in price will likely change it. FOMC decision is also Wednesday.
SPY-F: (62 of 97 pins).* The key takeaway for Friday’s expiration is that price is unlikely to close over 295 by expiration (so there is potentially a short opportunity there depending on where price goes next week). There isn’t a ton of put support like there is call resistance, but there is some that starts around 287. Thus, if we get under 290 there is a decent amount of room lower especially if price starts to get through 287.

Monday 9/17: Failed to the downside.
Wednesday 9/19: Successful pin.
Friday 9/21: Successful pin.
