Thanks I'll check into those guys. That could help with the decisions to get out. Will make it easier to see some profit on skinny trades. AMZN didn't want to let go either. Grinding sideways, you may be right about everyone heading to the Hamptons. Volume on TSLA was really small today.
Real small position. You guys drop more money in the parking lot than I have. LOL Going to hold and maybe for once Brad will get lucky. About 9 out of 10 times it doesn't work out in my favor.
Don't know if I can risk it.Just have the feeling that if I sell, it drops $5 in the morning and if I hold it churns and burns my premium.Got to decide quick here.
Unfortunately yes.. got wk 245 puts around 12:45 for 1.60 . It won't go down, churned sideways all freakin' day
I see what you are saying about adding a couple of 00's . Makes you think differently. I usually try to trade 5 - 10 contracts when I have more funds so it's not so bad but that usually entices me to buy farther out of the money strikes and that's trouble. Some of the companies you mentioned require more to open than I have. The plan (LOL) was to make some profit and build the account up enough to get a better (cheaper) situation. Right now I feel like I have FAILURE tattooed on my forehead. I do appreciate your advice. Thanks
TSLA trying to pull back again. Maybe I get another chance here or at least a better exit. Disappointing day with all the good plays that were out there.
Got to 2.05, a few sold on the ask at 2.10 Thought of putting a trailing stop so I could get up and do something but wanted to stick with it for the break out. The first bounce didn't seem too strong so tried to hold for another down move. Yes I was up .50 but my funds are so low I was in 1 contract. $22 on etrade to round trip so I needed it to go to like 244 bid would have been 2.50 ish and a good win. ...that why I stayed in . teed it up a couple of times at 1.85 just to get out even but the thought of sitting here all day and not getting paid anything pissed me off. emotion...bad I know. 3 other ideas this morning including calls on tsla early. like 9:40 would have been great. Googl calls , aapl calls oh well oh hell.
yep and now i'm back to square one....or a little worse. Tried to be patient but it just never pays off. Yhey won't go with me for 15 minutes but will go against me for hours... hell days.
FINALLY!!! TSLA Starting to roll over. AMZN creeping down too. I see weakness in lnkd iwm spy and a few others. Take 'er down!
EDIT I saw this as a quick move at the start. Everything seems to be up today. Missed a chance to make a quick exit @ 11:45 It's going to break higher that's my life...
Pivot point is at what price? Just looking for info...always my decision. You use a few more indicators that I am not familiar with so you may see something I might be missing.thanks
EDIT your thoughts?
Yeah @ 1.60 was slow...low was 1.30 hoping it will flush out here but hanging stubborn. Middle bollie on the 15 seems to be solid support. if it doesn't break pretty quickly I may bail.
TSLA 245 puts @1.60 maybe now? got a few
GOOGL calls ? looks like it will go up but the spread is always so wide on the options I never do well.
You still in this? and the aapl puts?
Hey Smart thanks for the updates. I had to leave to move my daughter back home from college.Had no choice but to set a trailing stop. It was beginning to move up as I headed out the door around noon. Got stopped out at 1.90 about 12:25pm (east) so took a small hit...- .22 on a real small position. Today for once would have been ok to ave down. Got to 2.71 later. Not a fan of ave down any more. I have a device mounted on my computer that will punch me in the face if I buy more than twice. LOL BTW great trading for you today. I only had 1 try so I picked a bad horse again.Actually just picked it a bit too early.Well maybe tomorrow is better.
Thanks I'll study that
Nice trade...now even LNKD trying to bounce.Like really? Dang Smart I just can't figure this out. ARRRRGGG!
Those are both working nice...TSLA trying to choose a direction. Usually that is going to end up against me.And Roy is short still I'm guessing. Crap falling now ...Every thing else bouncing...boy I can pick em
Nice trade for you!
TSLA 245 call in @ 2.12
Understandable...most of the time if you hold one it doesn't go well. You got the gapper for the win but man that can reverse fast too. Best to take the money and run and try to reload later. I waited half the day for it to set up a bounce but had to leave for a bit and missed the quick pop. Also watched AMZN trying to find a bottom. Was too late on the puts to risk it. 15 min may be turning up but the daily still looks bad, like more down hummm?
LNKD Finally bouncing...I watched it all day and gave up lol missed the bounce $h!t. Not chasing now.
Etrade basic chart you can customize to show the volume bars below the chart.As you move the curser along the chart candles it will display the price info and the volume on that candle.I had always believed volume or lack of was important but more so now after follow Roy's trades and comments. He's magical when it comes to seeing through head fake moves with low volume. That being said, apparently i suck at applying much of anything I am learning.lol
Yeh I've watched her play some "bucket list" golf courses but the Daddy caddie just gets to carry the bag so to speak.LOL
OT hope ya'll don't mind. Talk about an life experience..for the Men's High School 4A NC State Golf Championship. They played #2 yesterday and PH #4 today. For Free ! The schools may have paid 35-40 per player but not much. My daughter has played #1,6,7,8,9 (PH National the resort just bought and called it #9)She is in Mesa AZ this week at the NJCAA National Championship. Plays for Sandhill's Community College in PH. Gets to play all around the PH area. How about that for a college gig!
Maybe charter a plane for the day to take you somewhere it's not raining.LOL Going to be nice over here near Pinehurst!Awesome trade and amazing call.
Got you... I guess one last question... Do have have a time frame in mind for this? Don't want to expect something in a few days if you are thinking weeks/months. Well one more, plan on using your newly minted $$$$'s to kick start the reversal? LOL Thanks again Serf
Any other positions in this portfolio? thanks
Why do you think FREE will jump after the RS ? IS there some catalyst you expect to send it higher soon? Thanks and congrats on your big win. I could use even a small winner LOL.
That sucks , hope you get through it OK. Check in when you can and safe travels.Brad
AAPL dropping back now...doubt it will go hard enough but could have salvaged a bit more.LOLOLOLOLOL is that fing amazing or what. Amazing in a bad way.My mouse controls the whole market.
AAPL puts.. out at .09 %$#@ %^&$ Don't even have enough money left to buy a gun. Take your profit Beer it's going to tank now. SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBB AAPL Thought I'd trade it this week cause it might be a little easier to predict.
Yep looking weak now. LNKD almost looks like it wants to bounce now lol
Not fading too well %$#@ my last bullet. Didn't want to waste it. Was too dumb to buy the calls on the pullback this morning.
SMH ! AAPL 127 puts .25
This week or may15th?
good advice thanks!
Could be the game changer. TSLA down $2 pre mkt. Not too surprising after yesterdays late run. AAPL up but still not going to save those calls I had. Was too risky to hold for another penny or two. Mistake was to not exit quickly yesterday morning on the first run. Well real mistake was to not exit the day before. I talked myself in to thinking it had enough time to reverse. Seems to be a problem with early week trading for me.
PCLN big bounce off the opening gap down also. It did sell off later but big moves. I've got to get a winner tomorrow. Seriously got to make some money.
Good thing your early put trade was a quicky. We sure missed the calls. Thought it was hate TSLA day but I guess not.
OK so got out to protect my little bit of remaining funds..now it goes down. Can't friggin' win ...wrong again. Removing all sharp objects from desk.
That GOOGL put is working, should have joined you. Had 1.20 if I had just hit the buy button. Still wounded by the AAPL misstep and gun shy. You needed a winner too so good going.
