The OEPM has been a working module since 2002 and its sole basis is the amount of price movement that occurs between Option Expiration dates. This movement is expressed in percentage terms with increments of 1.25% acting as key resistance and support lines.
With extensive backloading capabilities it can be applied to ANY and all indices and stocks but the preferred instrument for trading purposes has been the Qs. The Qs are one of the highest rated in regard to liquiditiy and display a level of stable movement in regard to price action that can be very rewarding.
Well use common trades of buying and selling short combined with basic option purchases in an effort to exploit the percent movement between key S/R levels during the Option Expiration period.
Below I've extracted the OEPM table from the MarOE stuff post and this table was created on 15Feb and does NOT change until 20Mar! Unlike the OEPM table - TA, Charts, Fibs and Lies, MOVE, and they move constantly and I'm NOT interested in trying to HIT a moving target!
In Summary, there really isn't a Substitute for da-OEPM factor and when price fails to close above said Pivots of meaning, there really is NO other expectation other than a reversal in price!?
I know this seems rather Simplistic and one may ask how can something created on the third Friday of the Month HOLD such influence over Future price action, well, because it is derived from a ROOT factor of dis-GAme, da-Boyz! And since da-Boyz make da-Rules I suspect knowing what they're doing and having a tool to monitor their actions might create some rather Fruitful implications, don't YOU!?
