In QQQ $57 W P @ .32.
out QQQ $58 W C @ .59 from 0.52. it was flat and made me worried as the time is approaching 3 pm. the minute i sold boom there she goes.i could have sold for 0.68 if i had waited for just few min more.
me too i sold all the pennies for losses just to get away from those POS.still have few baggies which cannot sell. non dtc.
i am going to tell you these staff at the brokers have their brains in their asses.
In QQQ $58 W C @ .52.
should have bought at 0.48.missed it.
My POT calls expired worth less.damn i did not stick to my intra day plays only.i could have got out at 0.10 on wednesday from 0.28 buy but thought it will go.even though it went to 48$ the 50$ strike options did not move.
from now i will choose strike closer to stock price even if the premium is high so that i can have fast in and out.
but over all 1 out of 6 trades went bad.there is some light at the end of tunnel.
A big thank you to you.i realized the mistake why scottrade charts were not showing right on the day u asked me to see stockcharts.
spy 125 W Calls hod was 1.84.missed lot of money there but trading is like black jack.more number of wins is the key.
lot of people swear by TD ameritrade.i do not have account in that though.
thanks bud. i gave u an e-mail.
Out SPY $125 W C @ 1.17. might have pulled little early but not doing the same mistake like yesterday.sticking to strategy.
In SPY $125 W C @ .78. pulled little early as lod was 0.65.
not only that.greek pm might resign.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15575198
beerworld big mistake turned in to big profit.greek prime minister offers resignation.spy ripping.
well the futures are up.its a good profit now.
usually biotechs are most hyped plays.although sometimes rewards are higher. but who needs them when we have options.lol
please let market open higher tomorrow so that all qcom folks can make some coin.
Out SPY $124 W C @ 1.23.from 0.88
stupid me i had chance to sell at 1.35 at 3.25pm. thought of selling at 1.40. last 30 min was nerve wracking as it went to 1.08 and i was so mad at myself for not selling at least in 1.20's.
learned quite a lesson.not again.
In SPY $124 W C @ .88.
duh..market went up suddenly around 10.40 because of the fed meeting began.i was pulling my hair why IBM is going crazy.was searching all news.
are you talking about F monthly calls.
Thanks bud. the MCD 90 puts had a move in the final 10 min.hod was 0.33. i was waiting for at least 0.30.
i am glad at least its a profit since i went against one of my rule not to hold over night. still POT call left as it was brutal to sell it today.
Out LVS $45 W P @ .34. from .34
CNBC rumor and a news on LVS completely screwed up this.otherwise i would have got out in +0.10 cents.
100 point swings in minutes.wow.
actually all the talking heads started on Italy yesterday thinking Greece is over and moving on to next country. well Greece PM threw a curve ball by referendum vote.well he does not want to be away from the news i guess. lol.
in options i do not know if the patience always works on. had too many losses with being patient.still it is nerves to see the market going like crazy. one rumor is killing everything.
OUT MCD $90 Nov week 1 P @ .26 from 0.17.
what a POS strike price.selected wrong strike price.after everything for holding over the weekend i could only make +0.09.
my only hope for my puts is europe closed near 5% down. lets see we also close near 5% down.
I am not watching but look at how the market went more than 100 points. very difficult to take a decision.
someone should shut this cnbc. they just report BS rumors and make the volatility even more.
In LVS $45 W P @ .34.
pulled the trigger little early.lets see how it goes.
IMO.just to keep in mind when buying calls.DAX down close to 5%. we still have to give 3% more.i would buy only puts today on the bounce.
still got mcd puts.wish i had ibm puts from yesterday. made a mistake of buying call on pot.lets see the bloodbath.
In POT Nov 4 50 C at 0.28
Out IBM Nov 4 180 P at 0.41 from 0.30
set a limit order for 0.50 and went to lunch.came back and saw 0.45.that was quick and could not sell it at 0.45. i wonder how high it went just now. day high is 0.50 though probably at the open.
In IBM Nov 4 180 P at 0.30
rofl. who will buy 2 junk tablets in the first place.lol.
I paper traded a few days but did not give me that motivation. so, trading with only play money 1000$ with 2 accounts and 500 in each account.
i think the ptd rule is making me not to take losses as it will count as a day trade.running out of trades in 2 days.
now i developed my rules and strategies. some 700$ left to trade in this play money.
hope the option gods bless me with some luck.
GMCR and CRM f***ed me crazy.300$ expired worthless. i am doing the same damn mistake again and again.not taking losses. i had chance to recover 150$ on Wednesday but not on Thursday and today.
from now on i will either put stop loss orders or just sell for loss.
my mcd puts entry is very low at 0.17.hopefully i can make some of it next week.played wrong strike price.one more rule in to my strategy rules.on Fridays strike price should be trading price on either side.holding over the weekend.
freaking bots.kept flat most of the day so you cannot make any money on puts and at the last 30 min little change so that u cannot make any money on calls as well.
hate these bots.
IMO.LVS might see little bounce and fall again.
