EDIT those shares are gone now.....hummm more upside?
Just found this post on TSLA http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=111201783
BTW there is a huge chunk of shares on the ask at 210 26k+ unless that backs off it may cap it for today. Somebody was trying to hold it off 207.25 yesterday but that broke the dam today on this little news.
2nd edit etrade said 3.50 for the high on the 207.50
EDIT On the bright side my worthless/stupid tsla 222.50 calls are bidding .08 now so I might get a few bucks back.
How the HECK did you catch that move? The 1 min chart made a quick move with 1 nice volume candle but anything else had nothing looking like a reversal. Any chance you might post a picture of your trading station/ desk. I think I just don't have the tools/ screens/computers etc to do this job. I stick to a handful of stocks so I don't miss too much but I'm sitting here feeling stupid this morning once again. SMH with a brick.
Same here, can't figure out how Roy is making those early even pre market moves and most times hitting it out of the park. Once it starts to show more clearly I wonder also if I have missed the early move and then start looking for a bounce/reversal that doesn't follow through.
Yep that may be the root of my mistakes in a nut shell.
As much as I try to understand
"where they came from, the proposed reasoning about how they should be used/interpreted for better trading."
I find that I am fooled very often. One thing that would help me to reference the technical's against successful entries. You and Beer seem the most consistent but sometimes it's hard to know exactly when you got in. Was it 1 minute ago, 5 10? I know it's hard to post real time cause everybody has things going on around their situation but maybe a time reference like
BOT AMZN wkly 200 put 1.24 @10:12 with posts would add some value to back testing trades. I usually try to look at the posts and pull up a chart to analyse why someone made a move and then compare that with my own analysis and the position of indicators at the time. Trying to train myself to look for that "set up "picture. Sometimes it's working but I win little and lose big. You make it look easy but the reality is... it's really hard... for me anyway.
The "good old days" times have changed. So many things my teen daughter has never lived without. Cell phones, internet, etc I remember my aunt got a microwave in 1968 ? or so, 8 tracks went to cassette to cd's now most music just downloaded digital. 8mm movies on film! to camcorders, now digital. Amazing things that technology has created.
I find if I sit on the bid I usually get them because its going the wrong way. In fact the TSLA calls come to mind. I will try to split the spread if it's moving and hope to get lucky. You have gotten on some good horses this week. Mine went lame and were shot...
OMG Roy you must have had a freakin load of those puts. Massive harvest today. Enough for a new car maybe? LOL Hope they fix up the VW good for you. Good thing you had coverage to set you up with a rental. Some peeps don't think they will ever need it ...till they do.
Welcome to my life...soon as I put real money on it there is trouble. Let's chill and regroup.
TSLA puts should be getting good now!
EDIT didn't see smarts post.I'm feeling the same way he is.After finally getting a bit of money to trade with I have not been able to make anything with it. TSLA calls from monday hurting me bad. Not much to salvage on them so far. Every attempt to get past 207 has been beat back.
AAPL having a bad couple of days. End of the road or just taking a rest before charging up 10 more points? NFLX up 150 points in about a month....Wonder if Smart is still in the TSLA puts. He may be good on them now.
If you sold before 10am that might have been good. Longs can't seem to win the battle today. Every attempt at 207 has been beat back but it doesn't seem to want to crash lower either so be careful. I seem to always go the wrong way on this one. I need to stop playing with this snake...lol
TSLA trying to take out 207 again. Noticed a block of 10k shares sitting on the ask at 207.25....the line in the sand somebody don't want it to pass.
TSLA maybe this is the move up starting.If it can take out that 207.20 high from yesterday it could get interesting real fast. I'm still holding cause Mine are worth very little anyway. No where to go but up LOL fingers crossed.
EDIT SAM up $20 off comments on cnbc
SAM moving strong Guy on CNBC calling it a great buying op
EDIT not liking this...someone wanted it down. A big load on the ask put up a wall.
Getting a little help today. 15 min chart was turning pretty good yesterday but the stock still faded. Chart still looking ok and getting better with this mornings up move.I'm still screwed (to far out of the money)but maybe she'll run 5 bucks and give me a chance.
It might just be getting legs . 15 min chart looking pretty sweet but peeps won't trust the rally. Big players will have to want to take it on up. I need a few more $$$. Played it stupid all the way..
TSLA going now! Not enough to help me but you're on a profit now
Might be my last post for today but..Uptrend from last thur/fri still in place but today's pullback/crash lol is scary. If 205 ish doesn't hold tomorrow I think you win that argument. I'm in some calls so looking for any glimmer of light. If I get on the wrong side of this one it will go up or down huge to punish me. That's that sad track record. Missed the puts this morning cause it dropped a couple of buck and I was scared to get on expecting a bounce of some amount. LOL Still waded in too early and now in a sticky spot.I need 211 ish to get my ass back. LOL glty
I added a few before the close just to keep a reasonable break even point in sight. Prayin' for good bounce tomorrow.
TSLA any thoughts after seeing the late day action?
GOOGL still flat on the mat..tsla got up once, kicked in the gonads and back down again. Holding for tomorrow. I can't get much worse..famous last words...
Yep like Roy said, you can short it any time via puts. Takes a lot less cash and no trouble borrowing.
Great post btw did you mean 220's tsla not 520's ?
EDIT GOOGL trying to turn up now. Man we're not playing it well today.
TSLA I don't know, 15 min chart looks like room to go 205 ish. Been way oversold all morning. I thought I had missed the puts play after it dropped a couple of $. LOL
AAPL.. maybe just goin' to buy some june 200 calls and go to sleep for a month or two. Wake up rich?! No go for TSLA calls. Money is over rated...
Nice find, trying to get a bounce now over 210. Sweating this one but we do have a couple of days. Just hate to get in badly and need a save.
TSLA maybe my calls have a chance now! Shorts have had their way with TSLA this morning.
TSLA trying to grind back through 211. That should get us some MOMO
We had ice in NC last week. Now that was fun... peeps in our mountain areas know how to handle it but the flat landers are idiots. They wreck on a sprinkle of sleet.
Riding some too. We need a bounce here mate!
AAPL can't be stopped wow. NFLX trying to bounce, BIDU all over the place this morning
TSLA 222.50 wkly calls .93 a few
might be a bit early but playing a quick bounce
Thanks Bob!
Thanks, my 542.50 calls FINALLY got in the money .80 to 1.22 out. Sweated out a low of .35 but never added. That hasn't worked for me lately. Usually just threw more money away. LOL
edit SOLD GOOGL 542.50 calls 1.22 + .42 was down 50% but got up 50%
GOOGL i was way early but it might pay off now!
Any idea why the market GOOG hatin' today? I must have missed something.
EDIT only one good volume bar on the 3 and 5 so not great there.
Macd crossed on 1,3 and 5 williams rising sharply . Psar flipped 3 and 5 min and that 540 break took it over the middle bollie on the 5 min. rsi could be a little better. ADX indicated buy... But it can scream buy and still go wrong if I try it sooooo there is that.
BOT 542.50 .80 a few GOOGL breaking 541 now..
