Bought SCTY 37.5 Calls @ 75 . . .
already Up Big .. still Holding.
my Short-Term Day-Trading Commentary for today . . .
AAPL - should Open Up . . but then watch for some weakness.
I anticipate Apple being Higher a week from now ...
look for a Down then Up .. OR ..
not too much of a Down from today's Open.
SCTY - a similar situation as AAPL for Solar City
my Short-Term Day-Trading Commentary for today ...
AAPL - still looking for a rally, but the 440 area must Hold first
BAC - next move appears to be Down .. might be worth a Day-Traded PUT option today
CRM - next move appears to be Down .. might be worth a Day-Traded PUT option today
JNPR - looking for a rally, but the 17.00 area must Hold first
Sold LNKD JUN 22 2013 190.0 Call options @ 570 . . .
I just couldn't stand it any more .. all the Profits!
AND, I've learned not to be too greedy.
So .. 570/407 - 1 = 40% Gain - $20 commission.
in less than a week . . . nice
my Short-Term Day-Trading Commentary for today . . .
AAPL - looking for a Rally . . initial Target = 458
NFLX - looking for a medium-term, "long way" Down . . but waiting for another Rally to the 224 area first
Added: LNKD JUN 22 2013 190.0 Call options @ 380 . . . .
doubled my position.
btw, correction to my original Buy post: bought @ 433 (not 233)
brain flub I guess when I originally typed that.
SO . . my cost basis is now @ 407

Sold LNKD May 18 2013 180 Put options @ 520 . . .

AAPL - we got the Hold above 440, so will keep an eye on it Holding above a retest of the 438 - 440 area

LNKD - I did Open a Downer (I used Put options) .. looking for a Drop today to Bank Profits on
SNDK - got the Drop I expected, but it happened too quickly for me to "safely" get IN
TSM - we got the Rally I predicted and it is now in the process of Failing . .
monitor today's action to see about Opening Downers
I'll be Holding overnight at a slight Profit . . .
I feel there is some Down coming at the Open tomorrow.
Remember, LNKD releases its Quarterly Economic Report AMC this Friday.
Bought LNKD May 18 2013 180 Put options @ 545 . . .
a little less than an hour ago.
Sorry for the delay, but busy Trading/Monitoring.
I DID post pre-market that I was looking to do this.
my Short-Term Day-Trading Commentary for today . . .
AAPL - got the rally I expected yesterday .. now looking at 438-440 as a make or break level ..
expecting a failed Rally to Short, but will be ready to go Long if it breaks and holds above 440

LNKD - going as I predicted/expected .. will Open Downers today on a failed Rally

CRM - my charts are monitoring for a failed Rally .. somewhere between 41.50 and 42.50
JNPR - expect to Drop a little Lower before a Bounce Up
LNKD - my charts are monitoring for a failed Rally .. probably between 190 and 191
NFLX - I am staying away from this one today . . if she Holds above 224.50, this could be another AAPL of the last decade

AAPL - not looking to Short today .. at LOW levels that may cave Down, but expecting a Bounce Up first.

NFLX - waiting for a Rally to fail and then Open Downers
perfectly done .. failed rallies on both of these!
I hope many who read me were able to make a ton of money this morning using Put options.
Notice that I was able to predict and Profit from Big DOWN moves in a Big UP Market!
( click on link-back to see Pre-Market prediction )
I'm outta here now .. off to Relax.
my Short-Term Trading thoughts for today . . .
CRM - Down
LNKD - Down
When Opening Down positions, I usually like to do so on an Up move that fails.
I will wait for such a move today as well.
my FOREX Trading thoughts for today . . .
I am BULLISH on the US-Dollar
and BEARISH on the Japanese-YEN.
Read my previous post here: Trading the US-Dollar
For the YEN, I like trading the inverse ETF = YCS . . which moves opposite of the YEN (FXY).
The YEN has been falling for many months . . .
but I thin there is still a long way to go ...
at least for the rest of this year.
Good Luck !!

thoughts for the day as we come to a close . . .
AAPL - never really got a Rally going, so no Signal
LNKD - after a weak Open, LNKD Rallied quickly . . bug failed to even get any higher than the Closing hour yesterday . . so that was a Trigger (@ 09:45.ET) to Buy Put options (or Short) . . the Apr 170 Put was easily bought @ 60 . . . then the Drop faltered as a Strong Reversal ensued and between 11:00.ET and 11:10.ET that Put was easily Sold @ 95 . . for a 50% gain!
NFLX - Gap Open Rally on the first bar of my 10-min. Chart . . and easy Tell on the second bar that she was coming Down ... there was some room to Profit from the Put options, but Volatility was so high that put-option-prices did not Drop enough on the early Rally, that even when the underlying DID Drop, there was not much gain . . so an easy break-even.
QQQ & SPY never did rally . . . Dropping from the start then meandering weakly higher the rest of the day to still Close Down some for the day.
So, this is how I do my Plan each morning for Day- or Two- Trading.
I do the research that morning and then stick to that Plan.
Making some money each day or two is nice.
Stock Trend Trading
.
what I'm looking to Trade today . . .
AAPL - will Open Downers on any failed Rallies
LNKD - will Open Downers on any failed Rallies
NFLX - will Open Downers on any failed Rallies
QQQ & SPY look like Indexes ready to Fall if a Strong Rally does not ensue.
Sold NFLX 160 PUTs @ 2.70 . . .
= 25% Net Profit!
nice for a day or two's work
WoW! . . . what a perfect example of a failed retest!
THIS is how you make money.
Note the 13:30.ET bar on the 5-min chart of NFLX.
Price went Up after the break Down of the Uptrend line
and retested the line perfectly hitting it . . .
then Dropping like an anchor .. all within that one bar.
A perfect time to Add to Down positions.
And she's been falling ever since.
It might be time to Bank Profits soon . . .
or keep Holding if she keeps falling.
NFLX UTL broken Down for now . . .
1 - watch for a retest of the UTL
2 - react accordingly when tested
big pennant/SymTriangle on NFLX 10-min chart . . .
soon she'll break one way or another ...
I'm hoping for DOWN of course!
my NFLX Puts are now very nicely Profitable . . .
Up 30% in one day so far!
just doubled my position at 2.09 . .
for a new cost-basis of 2.14.
Long NFLX Apr-20 160-PUTs @ 2.18 - 2.20
so .. cost-basis = 2.19
the only thing I'm really looking at today is NFLX . . .
if we get a decent Rally today, I'll be looking to Open Downers.
Probably PUT options . . maybe 3-months out.
will do . . thanks!
WoWser! . . I certainly was right in direction . . .
but my desire to wait for a small Rally in the Yen before "shorting it"
has caused me to miss the boat for today!
BUT, that's OK . . there's always tomorrow and I have not lost any money by waiting.
the Yen should continue Down for the medium-term . . .
so, I will be looking to Buy FXY put options for short-term swings . . .
and building a medium-term position in YCS ...
this week.
doh! . . if only I Held one more day .. LOL!
Since April 1, precious metal bears should have been happier than a baseball fan sitting behind homeplate on Opening Day. Because, while that date did begin the 2013 Major League season, it also marked the start of an uninterrupted downtrend that has seen gold and silver prices plunge to nine, and eight-month lows, respectively.
But according to this April 3 news source, many market participants were ill prepared for the synchronized sell off: "Precious Metals Decline, Led by Silver... It was a big shock to the market and it reacted accordingly." (Associated Press)
That's one way to see it.
Another way is The Near-Term Bases are Loaded in Gold and Silver
.
I Closed my QQQ Put position today at 1.15 . . .
sorry for the lack of real-time posting .. really busy Trading and developing software!
I'll try to do better from now on.
thanks! .. I ended up Holding overnight . . .
when will I learn to just Bank Profits!
I sold short a 12-April 68 Put against my long 20-April 69 Put
.. for more Profits and to act as a buffer in case we go Up too much this morning.
If we get a weak Rally, I may just Add some more long PUTS to my position.
We'll see what the Chart tells me.
Nice play bash
WoW! .. what a great day . . .
sorry I didn't post sooner .. too much going on so quickly.
I hope some of you took advantage of my Pre-market post (click link-back) calling for a Down move today in QQQ and SPY.
I bought QQQ Apr 20 2013 69 Put options for 0.70
They are Trading for over 1.00 now.
Sure wish I would have bought more !!
We'll see how they are doing near Closing ...
I may just Hold overnight.
I will be focusing on Trading QQQ Downers this morning
if we get a move Up that stays under 69.20.
I will also be watching to Trade SPY Downers this morning
if we get a move Up that stays under 157.
I will analyze my Charts if/when that time comes.
Filled Sell to Close AAPL Apr 05 2013 455.0 Call Limit 1.87 -- -- 14:23:31 03/28/13
LoL! . . . well THAT was a terrible way to start showing off my Day-Trading skills.
btw . . my money management method for this option account that I am trading is:
Trade-Size = 50% of my account
max Trade-Loss = 50% of my Trade-Size
SO .. assuming a maximum Loss, on a bad day (like today) .. my account will end now worse than 3/4 of it's previous size.
In this manner, I can have a few losses in a row and still have enough dry-powder for the next day.
of course .. I'll need to throw in some winners along the way!
Filled Buy to Open AAPL Apr 05 2013 455.0 Call Limit 2.50 -- -- 11:38:14 03/28/13
doubled my position .. cost basis = 3.20
Filled Buy to Open AAPL Apr 05 2013 455.0 Call Limit 3.90 -- -- 10:06:45 03/28/13
looking to Buy AAPL Call options that expire next Friday . . .
for a DayTrade
blasher - Yeah, me too. we are at 1553 and need to drop another 5-6 points before bouncing 15-20 to end this madness. I may play that bounce or wait for the top before I do anything. This is a wave four triangle that started at 1563. I hate wave fours.
