YOU the man!
No just purely trying to play a bounce. Saw your put trade a little too late (you are the master!) so I just kept waiting and waiting for a spot for a reversal. just got up enough now to put a trailing stop near break even. Got to work this afternoon so can't watch every minute. Welcome back Roy , you always make us look like amateurs LOL!
DE wkly 89 call BOT @ .22 a few
Thanks! Got out at a good time. Stock reversed a good bit and I got super busy. That saved me from buying TSLA calls too. It went even lower. Should bounce at some point I think...but I'm wrong a lot LOL.
AMZN 7/4 330 put Bot/Sold .58 to 1.10. Had a trailing stop that didn't trigger. Missed 1.20+ easy...hummm Trading very little, working a lot but sneaked one in during a rare quite hour this morning!! GLTA
I know the feeling. Then Roy sits down and hits like 4 quads in an hour or something. Makes me feel really stupid LOL. Just got to keep trying to learn patience on the set ups and on the exits. I left a bunch on the table this morning. Yesterday got down then back even and bailed. Watched that jump 3 min after I give up on it. That call Went up a dollar+ in about 30 minutes. Oh well...
AAPL now it goes...AMZN keeps trying but it's getting late. NFLX has been the bounce today. Just watching mostly today.GL Smart
EDIT on the 15 min TSLA looks like it could drop 5 more bucks if it doesn't bounce soon. very cautious here hummm
LNKD and TSLA watching for a bounce set up. Going to give it a few minutes. Anybody like that idea ?
TSLA 227.50 puts BOT/SOLD .69/1.33 +.64 looks like it had more in it but my nerve is limited cause I haven't been playing lately. LOL took my profit and ran!
TSLA SLD .62 - .08 just pulling the plug when it couldn't hold $204. Mkt getting jittery...too busy to play
TSLA 207.50 call .70 PAPER TRADE
EDIT $2.50 feeling a little dumb now LOL what a wild drop.
TSLA paper trade 205 PUTS in @ .70 out $1.40 Man wish I had done the real tesla trade in my margin account. I could have really made this trade too. Oh well ....can't get me down today!
TSLA I was just thinking puts on that too but will have to paper trade it. No cash till tomorrow and I'll be at the US OPEN with my wife and daughter. My daughter graduated high school yesterday and it was my 26th wedding annav. Going to the open and Sun is father's day AND finally made a good trade...can you have a better week???
Hey all! Working this week but pulled off a nervewracking trade from Monday entry:
TSLA 210 wkly calls , in 1.55 got more @ .66 on Tue ave 1.10 rode the darn thing down to .35 ...out today 1.72 + .62 . At work and got scared to let it run. Phone is ringing off the hook. A bad way to make a profit but got lucky this time. LOL
TSLA 210 wkly calls ,I had no more money to add to my calls but in 1.55 got more @ .66 ave 1.10 rode the biach to .35 ...out today 1.72 + .62 . At work and got scared to let it run. Phone is ringing off the friggin hook. A bad way to make a profit but got lucky this time. LOL
Great call! Member mark for you.......lol
TSLA pinned around $203 for a couple of hours now. Which way will she blow? I need 204 + to bank my calls. As Bob says..I hope the crux have loaded enough to take it up this afternoon !
TSLA $203 nice bounce, wild ride today !
Good times Badge good times....man did it ever go so wrong. Funny ...when my hat arrived ,someone had stolen the girl...
You caught my disease , it is bad for blurring your vision. LOL TSLA may dip but it may not give you much chance to escape. SPY could be OK. Got to work tomorrow so limited chances to message but I'll be watching. GL
NFLX hummmm... all I could do to keep myself from getting 410 wkly P right before the close...might should have grabbed my sack and joined you. Watching in the morning. I think it will be good for you.
TSLA BOT/SLD 212.50 call 1.15 to 1.50 +.35 Too busy to post. Got in around 10:45 am missed exit @ 11:30 . Botched entry,stock sold off $1 after I got in. Could have been @ .80 entry and a nice quick trade. Waited it out 4 hours (sucks) made a little profit but it may run now. Just sucked the life out of me. I'm on the wrong side so much I didn't want to be a bad influence on your trade but kind of wondered why you didn't exit @ 12:40. Kind of understood it later when I saw your strike was so low. ....as I type looks like I may have gotten out at a good time.@ 3:00pm
TSLA if it can't close above 209 today it could pull back to 206. Next stop if that breaks 203ish imo. I'm in a few wkly 212.50 calls and nervous....Would love to see it push past 210 this afternoon. Would get past sma13 ,middle bollie and flip PSAR on a 15 min chart. Then I could exhale.lol
Hey all, peeking in on what seems like a tough day to find direction. Looks like they are walking TSLA down for you another chance to exit Jane. GLTY got to go!
You are right if a trader can make good trades. Been a real struggle. No progress for me. I came to this board kind of looking for some ideas. Good info in the ibox but I guess no one here trades anymore.
TWTR think this will run a bit higher today? Up big pre mkt
Looks like I'll be off the grid Friday. Got called in to work. At least I can make back what I lost today. Guess I'll roll with ya next week. Might get a chance to peek in and see Roy makin' bank like he does so well most Fridays. Good luck or chart analysis to everyone.
If there was even a remote reason to think this could turn around I could see holding. Heck I was in one (eeso)that went from .02 to .0002 but things were still happening with the company. Management was not hiding and they were openly working the business. I bought a few .0009's a few .0007's and finally .0004's. When progress and revenues began to show up it ran to .05 for 2 minutes and 50 million shares got dumped on it. I got out of a lot at .025 but the last at .005. The whole thing turned out to be a scam that ran for 2 years. A couple of the perps went to jail but I made $20,000 cause I got out early. There is not even a good pump chance here just dust...and my dusty Hemi hat LOL
No, here laughing at the thought of anyone wasting good money on this. This horse has been dead and rotting for a couple of years. Hey but I spent a good bit of time on here with a bunch of good people who mostly got duped by Keith. I wouldn't want another trusting person to fall victim to this scam. But seriously it's a cool but dusty hat with flames and chit and you would actually be getting something for your money. BTW don't need person marks cause I'm not pumping anything but thanks anyway.
LOL I noticed your occupation is listed as "dreamer"...well you are for sure at the right place dude. Before you waste good money on this POS, slap yourself and wake up! One of my best HMPG trades was a couple of years ago when I sold a bunch of this turd and it saved me @ $350 in taxes from the loss write off. LOL BTW would you be interested in a HEMI hat? It's very stylish and has good value cause at least you can wear it as a hat. I swear it is like brand new, just knock the dust off and you're rockin' it. Maybe someone could post a picture of this rare HEMI artifact so you get the full effect.
Thanks but I am certainly not trading on luck. You would have to assume I would get lucky some time. I have traded stocks for many years and options for 6 off and on. Just having a pretty bad run for awhile. I have similar issues as you ie limited trades. I have 1 margin account so 3 a week there and a cash account where I can get 1 per day, maybe 2 if I have enough cash. I transfer what I have between them. AMZN was a good trade but I didn't have the best entry. After watching it struggle for an hour and riding out three $1+ drops I let the last one shake me out trying to "protect my cash" Had I been in @ 1.90 where smart was, I may have had more patience. Well damned if I do and damned if I don't. SO I rode the bad trade and bailed on the good trade. TSLA heck It didn't get too bad and several times tried to fade. Smart tried it 3 times. I can't jump in and out so I hung in there. A quick $1 drop would have saved me. At entry the Williams was almost fully pegged overbought and it stayed there for 1/2 hour but wouldn't rollover. At 11am it was again retracing but I didn't like the break of 204 higher. At that point I think the shorts panicked and ran it to 206.88. I said In my post to Smart it would go to 206. Lucky guess...no ? It sold off quickly but churned my premium away.It would be nice to be nimble and tap out anytime. Going to get back on the horse tomorrow.
TSLA I think I am like 0 for 12 on TSLA puts. I would have to look but seems like betting against it never much pays off. Sold and took my lumps but salvaged some cash for tomorrow. Seemed stupid to hold overnight that far out of the money. Burned a lot of premium going sideways for 3 hours. Oh Amazon you were the trade today but I gave up on you...my bad.
EDIT holding quite stubbornly but may be starting to fade a little now. Crash and Burn TSLA!
SPY falling NFLX falling AMZN,BIDU, LNKD falling why not TSLA LOL. Maybe this is the big one? I need 204 ish to get BE. You know the risk in being on the same side as me right? LOL
Hey it was just bad timing. I watched it for awhile when you got in and didn't like it. After it moved higher It started to look more toppy and I thought my entry had a better chance. Several other high betas were rolling over too so ...it happens. Truely don't feel bad. AMZN was a great call. By the time I looked at it and made MY OWN DECISION..my entry wasn't as good as yours but if I had the gut/patience to hold thru the last shake I was on a dbl. I am not blindly following anybody in or out. You are not hurting me Smart, I see what you or roy or beer etc post and first try to see for myself what prompted your decision. I usually have my own ideas before the market opens.If I can validate it to my own satisfaction I may give it a go or not. I totally ignored you NFLX put this morning BTW LOL. Chill man, you are only helping me and I will try to refrain from the self deprivation. If I can't laugh at myself ..ya know?
TSLA 200 @ .95 puts..I got them 30 seconds before you bailed. Tsla bounce to 206 today. How bad can one person suck at this?
AMZN 305 calls now 4.10....I think I may throw up now. My wife said don't waist time on that computer today . You will just lose money...well down $20 and left 200+ on the table..so far
I stayed in it long after you bailed but not long enough to make anything. Lost my commission.#@$%^%$#@
2nd edit. Careful...looks like me selling made appl and bidu bounce too.. watch the whole market will rallyEDIT how the heck do they know that me selling is the trigger to take it up??? Amazing SMH....
AMZN 305 call bot 2.10 out 2.10 ...weak entry and too gut wrenching. Watch it the sunny beach go now
I was working yesterday (and every day last week)but had a moment to peek in to see what was happening. Saw your post when you got in. I was checking the chart myself to maybe give it a go and saw you quickly got out. I didn't bite cause I can't watch too closely while at that ins office. WOW shoulda woulda coulda. I would have been fine if I never looked all day! Massive move for sure. Got a few bucks today and 3 dt's so maybe something will set up for us today. Market not giving much of a hint of direction pre market. The high flyers mostly still look good on the daily charts but getting a bit hot on the shorter time frames.....I have to be careful to get some winners today or just not even play. Does anybody have some insight for today?
I guess what fooled me was the pre market sell off was so sharp I thought it might bounce a bit before going lower and lower and lower. I wound up "all in" on this hand and that doesn't work out well to often.Other mistake was I happened to see a guy who is a great day trader buying 1000 shares pre mkt and he makes money most of the time. He kept buying and may be sitting on 4000 shares now @ 34-35. But he can hold till it gets back in the money or gets too painful. He trades a 2 mill account so he has bigger balls than most of us LOL
I have missed so many big moves in the last 3 or 4 weeks. It just is gut wrenching to think where my account might be if I had been on the right side of a just a few good trades. I wouldn't be broke that's for sure. Missed it again today's bounces, Mon and Tue's puts. Hard to stomach when I need something good to happen for me.
