HAL Stock and Options Trade Setup — Halliburton Company
NYSE · Oil Field Services & Equipment · High-liquidity options · Large cap · ~$28B
Halliburton is the world's second-largest oilfield services provider, with dominant U.S. shale exposure through its hydraulic fracturing and completions business. The stock is closely correlated to WTI crude direction and global rig counts — effectively a leveraged bet on energy capex cycles. OPEC+ supply discipline and steady U.S. shale demand provide a constructive multi-year backdrop, while geopolitical risk premia keep crude well-bid. International segments are growing faster than North America and now contribute over half of operating income, providing diversification. Earnings are tied to upstream capex, which historically swings 15-30% peak-to-trough. Options behavior tracks crude inventory data, OPEC meetings, and rig-count releases closely; commodity-sensitive momentum plays around macro data are common.

HAL Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is HAL a good options trade today?+
Halliburton Company (HAL) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 74/100, ranking it top 18% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is HAL's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
HAL's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 100%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past HAL trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for HAL?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the HAL setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh HAL's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If HAL drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for HAL?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to HAL: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is HAL outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. HAL currently scores 74.
How does HAL compare to other Oil Field Services & Equipment setups?+
HAL's sector rank and percentile against other Oil Field Services & Equipment tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Oil Field Services & Equipment Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
