The dead cat bounce: the market's most expensive trap
How to tell a relief rally from a real reversal, and why we wait for confirmation before selling a spread under the bounce.
Read the breakdown →Coinfish education is built around credit spreads and iron condors on liquid markets. Three tools, one loop, defined risk every time. Here is exactly how the pieces fit together.
Before any trade, we read the chart. Price action shows the trend, patterns show the pressure points, and momentum shows whether the move has fuel. This is how we decide when conditions favor putting on a position, and just as important, when to wait.
You will learn to read support and resistance, trend structure, and momentum so your entries are planned, not impulsive.
Once timing lines up, the trade gets built on the options chain. We choose strikes, expirations, and premium that fit the setup, then define the maximum loss before entering. Credit spreads and iron condors let us get paid up front and win across a wide range of outcomes.
You will learn to read probabilities, set up credit spreads and iron condors, and know your risk to the dollar before you click buy.
You cannot watch every ticker. Scanners do the watching for you, filtering thousands of names down to the few that meet our criteria for volatility, liquidity, and a clean technical trigger. That is how a part-time trader competes without staring at screens all day.
You will learn to build and run the same screens we use, so the market hands you a short list instead of an overwhelming feed.
A clear progression, whether you are brand new or tightening up an account that has been bleeding.
Calls, puts, premium, expiration, and why defined-risk spreads beat naked directional bets for most people.
Reading the chain, choosing strikes and expirations, and placing credit spreads and iron condors step by step.
Position sizing, when to take profit, when to roll, and when to close a loser before it grows.
