holding overnight or stopped out?
Wonder what Roy's plan is/was...
not very often you guys have conflicting trades...
I hear yeah, I'm just not confident enough to think I could help. Lots of posts aren't timely enough so I just like to look at when they entered and look at the charts around the time they bought to see if I can see what they see. I have a chart setup to RoyG specs and it's the only chart I look at lately. How are you deciding when to enter and exit trades?
all indicators mentioned here turned up at 1pm and should have prompted a sell
still holding, I'm a terrible trader, should have taken the loss and sold at .30 from .35 but instead will probably be a fool and hold until expiration "hoping" for it to change in my favor...
you really don't want my help, I promise. I hang here trying to learn from RoyG but's he rarely posts these days.
sideways just burning premium on our puts. Might have to bail on this one or hold overnight
both. Looks like it wants to do something one way or the other. All sto's and wm%, and Chi all just turned down...
I'm holding some 143p @.35 and been sitting sideways all day
did you get stopped out?
watching FB on a chart set up like Roy likes is showing a put opportunity, I think???
UAL reports after close today. DAL was April 12th
DAL reported 1st qtr 2017 earnings of $0.77 per share on 4/12/17. This beat the $0.75 consensus of the 15 analysts covering the company.
hope you had a stop on these
Hi Roy, what's your plan with these puts?
10min ago? perfect timing!!! now at .50
Hi Roy, why not 177.50? same implied volatility with much higher delta. Little to no volume though... Maybe I answered my own question!
How far back do you look on charts. I've been trying to master the 5min with reference to 15min and 3min to confirm strength. Trying to get comfortable with Chi, Sto's, Wm, Volume, and Accum/Dist.
When you guys post trades I try to see what y'all saw before buying... Some trades look great to me on the charts but some I'm not good enough to see it.
Thanks for the reply and insight. I really do appreciate it!
Hi Roy, why this trade? Sto and WM? What else did you see?
Thanks,
Pennies
Chaiken Oscillator make you sell?
I can't thank you guys enough for your posts and tips. Especially Roy!!!
I set up stockcharts like you said and follow your instructions listed above to a T and my trades are much much better than they've ever been.
fair enough, pennies is fine!
tough love today. I've looked at the school and often watch your trades so I can see what you saw at that time on the charts. Thought you were ok being a teacher? I'm such a noivce I have nothing to offer here yet. I'd be really helpful if you stayed.
thanks, earnings is exactly why I asked. They tend to push up then drop.
still holding?
Thanks
I'm still lurking and learning... Way behind you guys as far as skill but slowly learning.
Roy, what did you or are you doing about your FB puts?
52 week high. Hope it doesn't hold!!!
Released 12 new shows in Japan, other than that I'm not sure why it's on fire right now...
BABA 78 call was at .21 now last trade was 2.89
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
tough week, choppy and hard for a beginner like me.
Hope you made green this week! Nice play on aapl!!!
Roy has been quite, hope he's ok

You're about to make 1.60 per share. Congrats:)
BABA puts on fire today! Prob some of the only puts making money. How are the techs looking? Maybe opportunity on some calls? Something had you like it this morning. Boy can things change quick here!!!
Lots of buying pressure right here!
what made you change from put to call? You were fighting hard with those puts yesterday and seemed extremely determined to win with them.
Roy, did you cut and run or still holding?
Love the lesson's here, printed a few of your post to study. Good stuff!
quite day here, hope Roy is ok!
seems inevitable... Ta ta today turdzilla
calling 2.99, is there a 2.99 in the building???
not very exciting
Baker Hughes U.S. Rig Count at 1:05 today
Might make for a good scalp long or short based on the number.
My favorite is when CNBC will put "Oil up as rig count is down 7" and oil gets a quick pop but expectations were 12 so the news is actually neg and the headlines update and oil goes back down...
or, "Oil struggles as rig count is only down 7" but expectations were 4.
You get what I'm getting at!
Let's see if this theory holds up today.
makes sense. Thanks.
What calls are you loading up on?
Sold all yesterday. Wanted to wait for 35 but was in at 27 and missed the 31's and option to reload so re-tooling my trading here.
Might also try some USO options next week. I thought you bought puts in the past to hedge
What USO calls are you buying?
ok, thanks. Maybe soon I can post some winning trades as they happen!
I definitely wouldn't want anyone to lose money on my calls so I know how you feel. Thanks again.
Ok, fair enough, I'll watch to learn but not follow.
Any suggestions on reading or websites to start learning?
Sorry, to mark the board but don't have private messaging.
I followed you on this and bought at 2.10, then added at 1.40, and 0.95
Up pretty nice after being down 50%
How did you get so good at picking options?
Dow plunges 150 points; retail tracking for worst day in nearly 6 months
but don't worry, no volatility to see here, just a slow, low volume, small pull back!!!
Don't worry, your TVIX won't be affected by this. SMH
