AMZN weak. What's the news?
smartone, good one. Plus 75%
I grabbed the wrong one late yesterday, FB puts.
But I'll give it a chance.

synthrop. Not trying to be ugly or suspicious.
Your buy post was today. A strike was not mentioned. My inquiry was based on Ameritrade's options ladder for today, and why I inquired as to the strike for today that should have applied.
Your recent post to which I am replying showed that your buy was actually made yesterday. Thank you for that fact.
We aren't in the business of hurling stones on this board. Getting facts is important. Checking friends' trades is a source of information which is used frequently.
smartone, all: watching ques is so time consuming and focusing minute by minute to a single stock and options strike, that I have not spent a single moment to peek at my other 7 active prospects from earlier in the session.
Now I see that BABA has made a double on puts. I had no idea.

Edit: Much bigger volume on the que. Looks like significant sized traders (professionals, not me) are taking these strike off.
Plenty happy with my cash box today. Rare, but sure welcome when it comes. I write here from time to time about observing ques as a worthwhile additional indicator. But I can't remember when anybody came back with their own observations. Not preaching, each trader does what he thinks is worth the effort.
StockCharts school does not include ques study as something worthwhile. It does take a lot of minute by minute work, and often of little or no value. I get that. But sometimes clues are very good when big stock moves are in progress.
...do you do limit or market when this happens?
Not much. I try to stab in asks when it looks like some holders of my strike are willing to take what they can get. Me included. Strike 210 is way in the money now, so I don't think technical analysis does much. TA works best close to the money strikes. For my strike, that was Tuesday.
Musk may be saying he will change the world. But when? I trade on what I judge the stock trading population will think/do in the next few days.
Technical short term analysis often figures this out.
I'm trying to take some more puts off, but the volume is tiny right in here. Que is varying, but the options trades are not following, hardly at all.
Edit: Only a single contract trades sometimes. I need to get rid of a lot more than that. The stock is taking another dive, drying up selling. It will stop sometime, maybe today.

Thanks. These don't come along very often.
I didn't get on very low at .19 compared to the LOD at .02
Friday strike selection is pretty chancy, and the big ones take luck. The LOD shortly after the open was .10, so .19 didn't look too wrong.
Who knew the stock would gain strength to take these puts strike down to .02. Looked like dead meat at 2:00 p.m.
No technical skill to fall into something like this.
