TSLA puts...wow that was the one to re-visit after the morning bounce. I did nothing today. Too risky to play the open and missed a couple that bounced. After the first hour I just couldn't see a clear trend or enough to put money on. Mind traded a few things but they would have been small wins at best with a quick exit.
You seem to have a lot of knowledge. I can learn from everyone. Charts are helpful with an explanation of what you saw that triggered your entry or exit. Keep it coming. Charts, predictions what ever. I like to see what others are seeing/thinking. Nice FB trade yesterday.
I agree...sat there and didn't pull the trigger on either of those bounces...crap
Wow this Just got cut in half on weak earnings reported by Sun ed? Killed all the solars...Interesting double bottom play (aug 24 low) maybe over the next few days once this sorts out?
Success? Mark? Lets see..still grey, stock at .0001 other than facebook postings trying to paint some kind of hopeful picture, nothing going on. The bar for success is really low around here. Lost my share on penny scams but didn't bite on this one. Been watching the painful slow death here for 2 yrs maybe more. But hey there is always next week and the week after that and that....
GOOGL PUTS!!!! NICE two great trades to start the week! SPY still going lower oh well.
BIDU just looked at that slumping - $1.50 now
I actually have worked 4 out of 5 days this week so just time to peek in now and then. Thought of posting some paper trades just to "keep score" but sometimes it gets busy and I can't watch so it might effect my decision.
That worked out. Saw the jobs number this morning and was surprised to see the S&P futures down. Just enough Fed jitters to get you a nice dip. I'm just watching this week. Kind of "mind " trading cause I don't feel like I'm seeing trends clearly.
Patience on the entries. 20 minutes later this morning and you would have been buying at .50 and on a winner. BUT Hindsight is 20/20
DDEJ you have the same disease as me. I can have a few small winners but get killed on the losers. I have started splitting my buys in case I don't catch the entry too well. My other mistake is I think I see reversals that are not really there. I fight the trend too much. Some days my dog hides under the bed cause she hears me yelling at my screen! LOL Hang in there bud!
LOL that one had you sweating ! Just saw where lnkd took a little dive into the close. That will give you some beer money cause you need one now!That and Bidu were really stubborn today. I was working today so kind of sat on my hands. Every time I looked at twtr I would hear your voice in my head saying don't pick up the snake! Puts were the trade on that. Got stopped out yesterday with a small loss. Lucky it bounced and I ave down. Have a good weekend
There is a big chunk of open interest on the 30 calls. They will try hard to not let those go in the money IMO. The early bounce already knocked back but there is still some time,
You got lucky there was a big bounce back to 31. Just looking for a little rally toward 30 today. I don't think it will be smart to hold overnight on these wkly's
TWTR added a few @.29's ave .37 now. Need this to go now or we will be burning premium quickly
EDIT looking better but still a lot of resistance to break through. When it rallied to 29.50 I thought it was going to pop but that failed.
Point taken my friend. I didn't touch GOPRO cause no matter what the chart there was nothing good there. Peeps writing it off. Maybe a good put play at some point.
I like yours better LOL GLTY!
Didn't see anything else interesting. Playing with house money but don't want to give that back for sure. Despite the selloff yesterday there are some positive comments surrounding the new CEO etc. Whole market kind of a tight range today. Not a great entry but I'll give it a little bit of time. If it can't hold 29 it might really get ugly so I'm watching closely
TWTR PUSH UP ! trying trying!
TWTR... when a little lower than I would have liked but perking up now! Still could pay off but down a bit at the moment.
I'm in 29.50's this morning @ .44 low was .30 but perking up now
TWTR waking up a bit now 29.45 5 min chart turning up
GPRO nobody with anything good to say about them today.
BTO twtr 29.50 wkly call a few @ .44 based on 1 min chart looking for conformation on 3 and 5 min or I may exit pretty quick
EDIT may be a bit bit early on this or totally wrong...?
BTO twtr 29.50 wkly calls a few @ .44
I will study your very detailed lesson! Thanks so much and I appreciate your encouragement.Brad
Yep good advice. Would have tried a few twtr 31's if I could have. Nearly green now. Hate to look at the price on those 29 I had early this morning. LOL I'm still happy.
TWTR wow! may go green before the day is over.I'm out of bullets for today bummer!
#1 goal was to not turn a profit into a loss. Made the first trade and that gave me a little house money as a buffer. 2nd trade after DBL plus I sold half to get my money back and a little profit. It pulled back just enough to stop me out. I hoped I had room to let it run but still guarantee a dbl or better on the rest. Yes the indicators did still look positive. I did not trust the rally based on all the negatives surrounding the stock. A few more cents on my stop and it would have paid off REAL nice. Happy for a good winner to boost my confidence.
I got a good piece of it but had the same thought in the back of my mind so I got out way too early. Had some 29's first thing I was patting myself on the back for going .32 to .50 LOL those are 2.00 now . Did go back for 30's and got 2.5x but shoot they are almost 4 bagger now
Thanks Johny1 glad I got back on it for the 2nd round
Good one ! I'm done for the day. Got to get some chores done so the wife doesn't beat me! LOL Hanging at the house today. Kind of bummed I got stopped out but I didn't want to give it too much spread.
My bad I posted I was in tsla but it was twtr. I re entered on the pullback earlier and moved up on the strike Beerworld style!
Stopped out of the rest at .65 bummer!
Sold 1/2 twtr 30 calls @ .73 from .28 entry YESSSSSSS!
EDIT got stopped out of the rest @ .65 + .37 still better than a dbl YES!!
SOLD 1/2 twtr 30 CALLS @ .73 FROM .28 + .45 !! WHOO HOOO! Got the other half on a trailing stop so I can't be stupid.
EDIT BTW you think this is a legit bounce off a solid bottom or just a lotto play?
In twtr 30 wkly @ .28 flipped some 29's earlier and jumped out way too early
tsla bto 30 wkly .28 just a few for now
EDIT story of my life....oh well
May have bailed early but seems like a lot of twtr haters out there. Might try to take it down again. Locked the profit. That said I usually am wrong so it may be a 5 bagger by the end of the day.LOL Watching to see if I might re enter a some point
SLD twtr 29 call .50 from .32 + .18 stopped out
Ugly open but nice bounce! I was also looking at tsla calls yesterday but missed the bottom ( was working so couldn't watch )so I didn't try it.
BTO twtr 29 call@ .32 wkly
edit maybe should have sat on the bid for a little better entry but ok so far
