Below is a daily chart of VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), $37.39.

Trade:   We recommend selling 10 Feb 40/45 bear call spread (16 DTE) for a net credit of $500 (current mid-point).

Strategy:    Selling premium with high volatility in sideways consolidation, and with U.S. Dollar (UUP) on support, which should make gold fall if it UUP rallies.  This will also be a partial hedge to our bull diagonal in AG.

Max Gain:  Premium received.

ROI:  11% , with 8.3% cushion to break even of $40.50.

Max Loss:   $4,500 but will be less with stop posted.

Stop Loss:  $38.72.

Below is a daily chart of NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), $113.41.

Trade:    We recommend buying 10 weekly (2/10) 106/118 bull call spread (9 DTE) for $5.25/share or better.  Although premiums are spiked, this debit is less than the intrinsic value, giving us time decay and cushion for a pull back.

Strategy:    Breakout on daily and anticipated rally into earnings.  Note:  Close before 2/9 earnings.

Max Loss:  Debit paid.

Stop Loss:  $107.98.
