August 12th Swing Watch List

ETN – A low IV grinder pushing its way into overbought territory. This is a reversal setup we are after here. And because IV is low, we will look to use a debit spread, knowing that a shift in trend and a pullback will result in an increase in IV. Oct16 67.5/65 bear put spread for a debit of around 1.25.

WGL – Another reversal setup with some oversold conditions in a raging bull market. The pull back the EMA support level here gives me confidence this could be a good reversal/pivot. Oct16 65/70 bull call spread for a debit of 2.50 or better.

BOOT – A multiple watch list name in the past, but FINALLY looks to be breaking out. This could be a bit chase, but would make for a sweet day trade or maybe a small hold til Monday. Long entry is over 11.25, stop 11. Target is 11.80-12, short term.
