Celldex sees a Spike
Celldex is seeing some bullish action today with a volume spike (~10k shares) during the day.
This was accompanied by a rise in option volume with over 90 march $4 calls being traded and large open interest in $4 and $5 march calls. A point of concern however is that there seems to be large Ask vs bid for the calls - so it might indicate a large stock buyer trying to lower the cost by selling costs.
CLDX is reporting earnings early March.

Smart but Risky Trading
- Identify stocks that have good fundamentals (decent balance sheet, steady improvement in eps or constant over multiple quarters etc)
- Look for those with high short interest among these.
- Now look for news, estimates and clues etc. Read general news in the sector, other news that might affect the business's future earnings etc.
- Figure out which stocks might have a higher chance for surprise earnings. Look also at technical cues from volume trading
- Pick the few best ones, decide a good trading strategy for all scenarios: Rise, Fall and Sideways.
- Once the plan is ready, then and then only, trade the plan.
- Do not trade it in the first 15-20 mins of the day (too risky).
- Make sure triggers are met. Also make sure that your stop losses are in place with limit losses
