, Futu Holdings, and Alibaba. However, stocks don’t usually climb in a straight line, and many of these names are showing signs of exhaustion after a significant rally. Alibaba (BABA) , for example, has surged 40% in less than 30 days. I’m now looking for a bearish trade to capitalize on a potential pullback in BABA. This time, I’m introducing a new indicator for my trade setup: the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). Though the MACD is a lagging indicator and tends to deliver signals later, it’s highly favored among trend traders for providing reliable cues on longer-term trend changes. I cover many of these setups in my book Mean Reversion Trading . In the case of BABA, the blue line (the MACD line) is crossing below the yellow line (the signal line). This crossover is a sell signal, often indicating an upcoming trend reversal. The trade To capitalize on a pullback in BABA, I’m using a trade structure called a “bear put spread.” This involves buying a higher strike put and simultaneously selling a lower strike put, resulting in a net debit. The strikes should be positioned around the current price. For example, if BABA is trading at $102, I would buy a $103 put (higher strike) and sell a $101 put (lower strike) to complete the trade setup. Here is the exact trade setup: Buy $103 put Oct 25th expiry Sell $102 put Oct 25th expiry Cost: $50 (limit price .50c) If BABA is trading at $103 or below on expiration date, this trade will generate a 100% ROI on the amount risked. Adding 50 contracts, one could risk $2500 to make $2500 on this trade. -Nishant Pant Founder: Author: Mean Reversion Trading
