BABA!! going nuts now
EDIT sold 2/3 At .98 riding the rest free.
AAPL 96 call .57
AAPL 96 wkly calls bto 2/2/16 @ .72 (bad entry closed at .40) held over night. Sold .88 on the huge bounce today. Didn't average down even when they went to .30 I usually don't help myself doing that. Just throw good money after bad and get more crushed. Would have work well this time.
Nice one.. Check you guys tomorrow. Quite a few earning reports tonight. Should be interesting
AAPL didn't you have some puts early in the morning? BABA just kept falling after a head fake rally...just like AAPL. I fell for it
How did you do on the puts yesterday? I should have added to my calls. I do that pretty often but It doesn't always turn out to be worth the risk. I looked at the idea several times when they were .30-.40 but held off. Nice trade for you.
AAPL sold 96 calls. 88 from .72 yesterday....didn't ave down so a long wild ride. May go higher but figured I'd step out and reassess the rally. Took too long to make money so I couldn't hold any longer. Got to be getting exhausted at some point.
EDIT OPEC may have agreed to an emergency meeting
The dollar turned around which also helped oil which turned the whole market and she bounced big!
AAPL wkly bot 96 calls .72
AAPL you still riding that roller coaster?
Oil up premarket, FB crushes earnings BABA a good beat. SPY IWM futures up.
Rally flag waving today?
FB you killed it! Should be a nice gain. $4+ in the money now
Beautiful trade. I saw you post the buy. You read that move very quickly. Roy jr!
I like that! I bot aapl 96 wkly's a little too early .70 sold 1.04 + .34 it went to 1.18 but now back to .75 Glad I got out. Short squeeze ran off a few peeps. Had a small win yesterday on NFLX like made $4 lol about lost my arse. Last friday made a + 75% trade in the morning and then gave it all back later being stupid.
AAPL 96 calls in at .70 (too early went to .49 ) out at 1.04 + .34 didn't want to hold with fed reporting today. Usually crazy action . Website or my internet was freezing up and that rattled me too. Went to 1.18 but drifting back a bit now. I'll take it!
And the indexes turn right with it IWM ndx spy
USO oil etf falling off today's high
I was about to go TWTR 17 calls around 10:30 this morning or IWM calls. Sat here 3 hours to make lunch money. But it's money so yay Brad...
EDIT NFLX going to me me look dumb. I just don't have any ability to hold through the dips. Had a weak entry to start with so looking for the exit. Didn't even exit well. Too darn slow deciding what to do.
NFLX 100 call sold 1.65 + .15 missed 1.80 bid was never strong even when it finally started rolling. Just a slow horse now falling more.
BTO NFLX 100 call 1.40
The link Roy posted, go in and choose stocks and put in your symbol . You will see a button that says technical . Under that you can choose tech analysis or candlestick patterns.
I have been using USO the oil etf for several weeks but I have also used that web site to check the technical indicators on stocks. They have a long list that also gives a buy sell or hold at any time frame. I do like it but My computer usually ran a little sow with it open all the time. (old computer)
EDIT just took a breather before heading higher. 15 min chart was indicating more room to go higher and it seems to be following that longer trend for now. IWM maybe just a few minutes early after all. Sliding now. Your thoughts?
EDIT next candle answered that question .
IWM Does the chart say exhaustion? A couple of upper wicks on 5 min candles Slow Sto getting over bought williams also. Macd starting to turn over maybe puts again. Oil also pulling back off the top
Hey Roy, What time did you enter that trade? Would like to study the chart set up at that time to get a picture of what prompted you to enter. Also what time frame were you keyed on. 5 min ? Thanks
IWM puts ...if you are still holding, oil is giving you a push down. Looking good for you.
Those Q's tanking. I was right on NFLX but It's easy to make calls with no money on the table right? Looks like a few others dropping too. Whatever you do be careful.
Farooq lives by that 3 ema 8 ema crossover. I picked that up from him and also have the 22 ema in there as a longer indicator. I also closely watch MACD 5 min and use the 15 just as a confirmation to stay in a trade. Traded nothing today so far. Was looking at NFLX calls but it got away from me. Funds are small so Monday's are hard for me to play.Beer got on it earlier and is looking good. EDIT that said NFLX looks like it may fade right here.
236 I really haven't done that level of DD and thanks for pointing that out. That said just based on the poor performance to date, anyone looking at this even surface level should see the RED flag to stay away. Adding your info to the mix and it's a Hell No! Run! LOL
I don't think it's a scam. It seems real but the lack of success would make me reluctant to invest at this point
The question was if the company was buying back shares and that is a definite NO . They may be issuing shares or trading shares for services. A bit of dilution maybe not a ton but at least some.
Sorry to random butt in here but a company that is not making any money most certainly isn't buying back shares. BTW the idea seems pretty good but the sales have been weak. Poor execution or just lack of consumer interest. ..Should have sent them to some celebrity's kids. glty
Wow haven't checked on this one in awhile. By the looks of the chart it already went BOOM! Kind of in a bad boom way. At least it's not trip 0"s yet. Wake me up when something happens.
I have thought many times of removing this ticker from my Fav's list but then I might miss an entertaining post like this. I predict Mark's "days" turn into months. Just for fun we can all make a guess... I say on June 1st there has still been no good news. All guesses reply to this post. This is fun right?
This morning in central NC we had an inch or 2 of snow over 1/4 in of ice. They told the idiots to stay home but....400+ wrecks in 2 hours. Over 2000 yesterday in the state. The MO here is ...engage 4 wheel drive, remove brain LOL. or just crank car remove brain. IT'S CRAZY!
Nice trade. AAPL was strong all day.
Take care Roy.Nice work
Oh I'm tempted ! Just hard to figure what was going to happen for the last 2 hrs. Thought your AAPL puts would really go even more but still nice. Guess I should have flipped to some puts. Was looking BIDU but passed.
NFLX 104's made a nice trade early and made the mistake of picking up that snake again. Missed one quick chance to exit so need a hail mary now.
NFLX BOT 104 call's .57 sold 1.00 + .43 good start
Trying to have the discipline to take small wins was working. I get that part. The problem with your math example is it requires using 100% of your bank rolling into each trade AND being right every time. My goal is to actually use less % as my bank increases to reduce risk that a bad trade or two wipes me out. ( Exactly what happened last week) 2 bad trades. One with way too much in it , I should have never added and then I may have been more likely to just dump it a save more loss. Speaking to Farooq's point ...It's rare that I get up big enough on a few contracts that a minimum .10 trailing stop ever works out. Better to just sell into a surge and not miss the $30->50 profit when that could amount to 50% or more of your potential profit.
That's a nice thought but I only have $250 so I went in $170 with the plan to bounce if I got down even $20. The market was so frantic I just felt it was best to get out when it gave me the chance.Would love to have enough to never risk more than say 10% but the math doesn't work at this point. Several of the ideas I had in the morning but didn't play were easy 2 or 3 x trades. I'm not expecting that but hitting a good one would help the cause. I was trying to quickly exit around .70 but a crazy bounce in less than 10 minutes killed most of the profit. The price was dropping faster than I could change my order. Should have just hit market order but hindsight is 20/20 right
