Master Trader Breakdown at the 20-MA
Imagine locking in a winning trade like this—just as our subscribers did, and why it was a no-brainer setup.
What happened:
In November, the deep retracement in IREN turned it into a downtrend, which is defined by lower Pivot Highs and lower Pivot Lows, below both the 20/50-MA.
In December, it stabilized and consolidated sideways into the declining 20-MA.
The “Tell” was on 12/9 when it tried to break out and failed, closing with a Topping Tail (TT) after trading above the high of the five prior bars. That’s our “tell” that sellers (supply) were lurking above so get ready to short.
The next day it closed with a red candlestick and below the low of the prior three bars. It’s now a go below that bar’s low with a Void to the left!

Here is an Example of a recent Income Trade where we sold a 0 DTE call spread on an excessive igniting gap on earnings where we keep the full premium sold as long as the stock closes below the short strike for a few hours.
Why Traders Love Selling Options
At Master Trader, we use an objective, rule-based approach to trading stocks, futures, cryptocurrencies, options – and, yes, in trading options.
One of our favorite income strategies is selling options and credit spreads around technical turning points. When you sell a put, you receive premium in exchange for the obligation to buy the stock (if the put buyer wants you to) on or before expiration.
We profit from time decay, when the underlying stock or ETF moves away from the reversal area, and volatility contraction. Our approach masters this.

The Setup (What & Why):
On 12/2, BA had an Igniting Gap Breakout – bullish, but excessive, so we start to monitor for a bullish setup.
It then consolidated sideways above the 20-MA and at the 200-MA, which is healthy.
On 12/15, it rallied back to the high of the consolidation area, closing above the 20/50/200-MAs; however, it was up three consecutive days so not an ideal Breakout setup.
Although not an ideal Breakout setup, the continued move higher over the bullish three bars gave us the confidence that those lows would hold for selling a put spread.
Over the high where shown, we recommended to selling a 4 DTE $202.5/197.5 Put Spread for $.55/share.
Selling a $202.5 strike put obligates you to buy the stock at that strike price (if the put buyer wants you to) in exchange for the premium received. We typically recommend selling credit spreads (instead of naked) to lower buying power maintenance and less loss in the event of a stop out.
As long as BA goes up or sideways into expiration, the put spread seller keeps the full premium as profit. The breakeven point is the $202.5 short put minus the $.55/share premium received, or $201.95. Our protective stop was under support.
The Outcome:
The Breakout in BA worked as intended as it moved higher, which quickly caused the premium sold to quickly erode.
We recommended closing half for $.25/share and half for one cent to avoid further risk.
Example Profit: Selling 10 contracts (1 contract = 100 shares) of the recommended put spread could have produced a quick $290 gain in three days for simply calling a short-term bottom using MTS.
