The term wash sale refers to a transaction in which a person sells or trades a security at a loss and then re-purchases the same stock or security, or obtains a contract or option to do so, within 30 days before or after the date when the loss-generating investment was sold. This window of time account as a total of 61-day wait period. Another scenario that leads to a wash sale is when a person sells a security and then, during the 61-day waiting period, their spouse or a business they control purchases a substantially identical investment. Under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, a tax deduction for a loss on a securities sold in a wash sale is not allowed. This provision is known as the wash-sale rule. The rule is intended to discourage investors from making an investment loss in order to claim a tax deduction while effectively keeping their stake in the securities.

Option strategy that combines both a bull and bear spread with a defined risk and capped reward. The most lucrative scenario for these spreads, which are meant to be market-neutral strategies, is for the underlying asset to remain stationary until option expiration. They either involve four puts, four calls, or a mix of both with three strike prices. Understanding Butterfly Spreads Option trading strategy.  An option is a financial instrument based on an underline asset (stock or commodity) value. Options contracts provide buyers a defined date to buy or sell the underlying asset. Butterfly spread strategy uses a combination of bull and bear spreads. It's a neutral method of using four options contracts with the same expiration and three different strike prices: at-the-money, higher and lower strike prices. Higher and lower strike prices are equally far from at-the-money option strike price. If at-the-money options have a $30 strike price, higher and lower options should be above a

A bond fund is a mutual fund invested solely in bonds . Many investors prefer bond funds versus buying individual bonds. Bond mutual funds are like stock mutual funds in that you combine your money with other investors and a professional invests it based on the best chances. Some bond funds try to replicate the performance of the market as a whole by investing in a wide range of bonds issued by entities as diverse as the United States Treasury, state and local governments, businesses, and money market funds. Short-term Treasury bond funds and corporate high-yield bond funds are two examples of specialized bond funds that invest only in those segments of the bond market where they see the greatest potential for growth. Bond funds, regardless of their focus, invest in a wide range of bonds and other securities, trading in and out as market conditions dictate rather than keeping their holdings until maturity. Monthly payments reflect the fund's bond composition and payment schedules.

An intraday technical indicator that displays the daily average price at which a security has traded in terms of both volume and price. The VWAP resets at the beginning of each new trading session. VWAP is an important indicator, especially for day trading, because it provides traders with price information into both the trend and value of a security.

An uptrend is the upward price movement of a financial asset, characterized by price making higher highs and higher lows. This means that after a bullish run, the lows following a pullback will still be near or above the highs that were seen earlier in the trend. The uptrend is regarded intact as long as price continues to make higher highs (during the run) and higher lows (during the pullback). Some traders choose to trade solely during uptrends. These type of long-trend traders employ a variety of tactics to capitalize on the price's proclivity to make higher highs and lower lows. They enter trades earlier as price begins the raise; they manage their position(s) during the bullish run by adjusting their stops (in case price suddenly reverses); they exit and take profit (fully or partially) as price loses strength and starts to reverse direction.
