Beer. hi. How are you seeing AMZN this strong? When you entered early today, you were immediately long. No surprise. But on and on and on?
Tell me what you think along today, and what tells you whatever you think.
Do you think Bezos "gets it"?
First hour, stock a jump, not unusual but just a hesitation. Second hour, same thing. Now third hour and showing a little steeper red candle. Now more or not?
Your 780 calls touched almost a triple at 9.13. From the LOD that strike they were close to 9X. Some of that would be okay into my cash box.
wavexrider on BIDU
"feel" ?? what does that mean? Have you looked at 5-minute, 15-minute RSI, Wm%R, declining stock volume bars, Chaiken oscillator, and overbought STOs ?
Single idea resulting in a "feel" is a dangerous fault of a beginner. Won't get it. Are you investing real money in calls right here?

ISM non manufacturing for August was 51.4 compared to expectation of 55, and actual lowest in a "long time, I missed it.
waverider good morning, Tuesday, new weekly.
I use not use not stop loss frequently, but mostly when I must be away for medical, etc. I am a leukemia patient. (I am doing well, medically, but old (89 years) so attention is paid). No sympathy comments, please.
All my 8 or so principle indicators are what my eyes and mind evaluate each time a chart is displayed. Use and training over a few recent years mostly.
The 5-minute chart is most frequently up(*), but the 15-minute often, and the 60-minute and daily at least a time or two every session. Each of my StockCharts "styles" are available with a single keystroke, just a couple of seconds. 15 seconds automatic response; instantly with another single keytstroke. Extremely useful. Thirty bucks a month. I am 90-% or more a daily trader. Other ideas are needed for longer times planned.
The opening SP500 heat map is just a first idea. It is "up" for only a few seconds. If I miss it, no big deal. I will get better information from my alrearady set-up of eight or ten prospects for the day.
Your questions are typical. Looking for simple answers. Beware. It takes a lot of total information in the traders head to make good actual decisions. A consistent wining trader should (must) develop is own "system" which is built on much previous experience. Simple charts with few indicators don't get it done at this desk.

SP500 heat map 95 to 05 green to red
Edit: Now 85 to 15, green to red.
Jobs report is lower.
Taking a breather. Back soon.
I don't do it that way. Look at all the set of indicators.
Didn't have time to talk about it. Some are more important than others for different situations. Lots of experience will train the eye/mind decision set.
Look at the RSI and Wm%R just at the first white price candle on the 5-minute. Breaking up sharply. STO's led the way from oversold even before that, a signal to consider. I mentioned it earlier.
A situation such as TSLA today presses hard. Need to be ready to take advantage. Took off about half at five bucks being sure to get cash, but stayed the course to get whatever more might become available. The indicators kept that part of the position.

TSLA volume bar printed long green. Close to "there" likely.

You are looking at the wrong thing. Look at the indicators.

Price bars have resumed south, wiping off the white doji.
small white dogi on the 5-minute TSLA price candle. First hiccup.
Asking five bucks.
Slightly shorter last 5-minute red volume bar on TSLA.
207.5 puts are last trade at four bucks.
Looking for indications of TSLA buy signal(s) often used to exit puts.
Not much like that yet.
A/D Chaiken, and OBV are still steeply down.
StOs 5,5 and 14, 3 are deeply oversold, hint of southbound tiring?
Stock volume bars are still large and red. South tiring should produce shorter red volume bars. This sort of emotional move rarely reverses in a moment. Trying to milk as much as possible. These moves are rare.

waverider, are you here? I have Chemo every afternoon this week. Going now. Back at tomorrow's opening. Meantime see if you get my method of posting scalp entries and exits.
Yesterday and today, posts numbers 30498 until now. If you are interested, I will (tomorrow) say a few words about each.
