Enlarge any chart by clicking on it.

Unless otherwise specified, ALWAYS use the 15min chart to enter my recommended plays because
CONFIRMATION is a MUST.
In other words, you need to see a 15min candlestick that CLOSES beyond
the entry point, then enter when it moves 10cents after the high/low of that candlestick.

Alcoa Earnings Preview

Reports after the close today. Fundamentally it is 7 - 7.5 out of 10 (bullish). Also of note is the fact that it missed earnings just once the last ten quarters, and revenue just twice the last thirteen quarters.
Technically, it is bullish as seen below. Also, it is lagging the market today. While the market is significantly higher, it is flat for the day. This is what I like to see.
So I will buy December Calls.
