FB bto 104 puts .40 sold .17 &%$# that was 2/23/16
FB bto 105 calls .64 sold .94...the good. The bad? it closed at 2.30 today.
Lost more than i made...not fun.
Jeff there are definitely things worse than financial problems. It just scares me that over time that will turn into health(stress) and marriage problems too. Believe me, even when I see Roy makin' a load of profit I never forget what he is dealing with. Most of the time that thought straightens me out. I'm just frustrated I let myself get shaken out of a pretty good trade. I only had one chance far a trade today. I got a good entry but blew it on the exit. Missed 1.10 + twice . Didn't take advantage of either peak and now it still climbing so wrong 3 times .
Easy for you to say with a lot of money to trade...I made $50 and 3 min later would have been $100. You guys don't have any idea of my financial struggle. I only got to work 3 days in the last 4 weeks.I'm only blessed in that my health and my marriage (for now) is really good and my daughter is doing great too. Sometimes I need to vent a little. Sorry
EDIT OMG would you look at that. FB this market is just playing me.#$@% it
FB SOLD .94 from .64 +. 30 missed 1.04 I missed the exit at noon so I held through the dip. Might pay off but it's struggling to push higher so I bailed
EDIT OIL moving up after the inventory report.
FSLR ripping after earnings
Calls for me Roy , smart got call 104's at 1.03 $1.03
EDIT calls ,trying to post too quickly sorry.FB I got the 105's at .64 almost caught the bottom
From what I heard....
There is treatment for those voices. Might be a good idea to "invest" your money getting help. Just sayin'
FB puts bailed @ .17 from .40 time running out and it keeps bouncing. Missed .25 when it got near 104.....edit nice look it's falling. Shake Brad out and take it down. Smart it's just not even funny anymore. Thanks for trying to help. Have a good week end. Got to run
EDIT yeh was thinking yesterdays close as a support level.103.50 ish
FB trying to get down there. 15 min chart showing weakness, williams diving,macd about to roll over still got a chance if it flushes soon.
Thanks your insight is helpful. i don't watch the trix and maybe should study that indicator so I know what is means.
EDIT as far a the overall market. I don't find too many things going against OIL and the overall market the last few weeks unless some news event so It's just a secondary indicator. I'm already in the trade so looking for any signs that might go my way.Earlier in the week and on a trade with a bigger price I would have a bit of a different answer to that. I am limited by my money and available trades so I don't have the freedom to jump in and out on small moves.That's a problem I have no answer to. Will check my lottery ticket later lol
Thanks for your info. watching spy, oil and iwm also showing weakness but not really giving it up just yet. If the overall market starts slipping FB and others should slide too in my opinion.
Right now it has been going sideways for a bit. Bollies are pinching so it could go either way. The good is PSAR is above the current price so a down break may be favored. MACD has crossed so another down indication. Slo Sto and Wlliams are mid range (54) but coming off overbought earlier. Volume bars are about the same on red and green candles over the last 30 min or so. Not much of a tell there.The 2 red 5 min candles about 11am is what really got me looking and thinking the morning rally on this was reaching exaustion. On the bad...stocks that have trended up and go sideways( consolidate? tend to break higher so that's the worry. Buying so close to the money I can't jump off on a .10 move cause it can go the other way in the next 5 min..
I don't have the bank to trade them but CMG and PCLN have been huge gainers this week
EDIT pulling back a bit now.. Had TWTR teed up on 18 calls at .20 this morning but passed.. .75 now. Really getting discouraged with this. I can make small gains but the quick bigger loses are keeping me in the hole. Haven't made any money so far this year. Down to my last $100 on this trade.........
I tried to post an answer but accidentally deleted it. will try in a few minutes. watching closely here...BIDU not dropping either
Everything bouncing including oil ...screwed
Yes sir that's correct...now help me understand why? geez..
FB bto 104 puts .40 going bad already crap
NFLX 94 calls dumped at .27 from .66. Good thing I was very lite on that entry. Still sucks...
just never got a decent bounce. closed even worse
EDIT oil report came out today at 11am....seems to be taking the market down. Good for puts maybe not for us.. Didn't know that was coming up when I got the calls..bummer
NFLX bto 94 calls .66 just a few
Yeh you're banking!We're crying, you should be buyin' lol.Wish I had the bank to let stuff roll up. Finally got on a good one but it took 2 days to work. Kind of wore me out before it really got going. Sounds like you are having a good time visiting the grand kids.
EDIT yeh just trying to be ready. May be some profit taking into the close. Smart has some BABA puts that have been creeping down but nothing flushing today.
Yep we are crying in our beer today. Puts are getting tempting but sitting on my hands most of the day.
Well so far the market yawned and is back to going mostly higher....geez will it ever run out of gas today. Man the market bullies scared me and took my lunch money this morning. Wish I would have seen Roys post a little earlier. Might have calmed me down enough to hang in there on that pull back. Sell the rip has been the mantra and I've been punished too many times trying to be patient. Never had giant wins but was making money doing the pop and hop. Learning every day here....
EDIT FED minutes coming out at 2pm could be a market mover.
IWM starting to slip a bit now...
FB wow look at the price action on the 104's .30's to over .85 so far.
EDIT That really long wick on the 5 min candle and wr% way oversold, slo sto oversold and trying to tip over. That was enough to get me to hit the register.
Thks Roy I got nauseated by the roller coaster this morning but sold at 10:17 got 1.66 from the 1.18 entry. Didn't want to chance another ride back down. they got as low as .86 but I didn't see that till later. Wild one.
FB 102's liked the close so I'm holding
EDIT OK getting a bit of a bounce for us. GO!
FB 102 calls 1.18 been in for almost 2 hrs now.. Felt better after your buy. Passed on LNKD and GPRO calls. We're on a slow horse or lame...don't love the look of 15 or 30 min chart at this point. Still time to be right.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate your time and knowledge. Hope it gets 95.50 so maybe I can salvage my 97 calls from .33. They are stinking right now at .11
You should try the new OM chatroom. Really quick and easy to post. BTW your thoughts on AAPL? Looked like it might continue to trend up as it has over the last couple of days...until it didn't mid day today. If you have a moment...how did you play it today. I got faked into some calls @ 2:30 and that is sucking now.Tks shred
Heck yeh it is! FB is your atm cha ching! AAPL been berry good to me.lol
Sitting on hands for the 2 pm ish bounce if it happens again today. I can make 1 more trade. Got to be a winner or I ain't playin'
Thanks Johny
AAPL bot 97 calls 2/09 for .62 (bad) added some .42's ave .55 Sold @ .88 and excaped for a decent profit. Right before the close re-entered 97's at .40 Market popped overnight and I sold .65 this morning for a .25 profit.
AAPL 97 calls sold .65 from .40 + .25 I have a job interview today so I need to get going. Maybe would have given this more time. Didn't want to trail stop I had so few if it back up I would lose 1/3 of my profit. EDIT and then there is the oil report that could wreck everything.....
AAPL wow up $1.50 pre market. I think that will get me a dbl+ if it can hold. Man I went for just a few cause I was holding over. This market could go hard either way most days so risk management is the objective.
AAPL calls reloaded 97's a few .40 holding over
AAPL 97 calls BTO .62 this morning (chased it) added .42 = ave .55 Sold .68
+ .13 Was looking bad for a long time. Takin' the cash
I'm in too but much worse entry. .62 chased it like a fool. Don't like the drop below 94.50 going to be a long day
BABA hey did you cash out on those? Turned into a great trade.
Wish I had hit it too but was focused on AAPL
AAPL out remaining 96 calls 1.01 from .57 not worth the stress to stay on it.
