Away for a while. Prospects CAT, X, WMT, LUV.
BABA, Whups, stock blasted through yesterday's high. Do not bid on puts. Chaiken OSC reversed to upward
Baba 165 Calls this weekly, now printing 6.6 X Retail strength in general.
BABA, looking for stock to print WM%R diving through -50. Chaiken OSC is continuing lower, good forecaster in this situation, opposing a stock recovery of upward. Stock needs to stop short of yesterday's high at 168.
Not anxious, give it time. Lot of buyers pushed higher today.
Looking for tiring on the BABA advance. Perhaps puts opportunity but waiting for what shows on RSI, Wm%R, Sto's 5,5 and 14,3, and especially Chaiken Osc.
Missed BABA calls. Weak bids twice. 4.8 X so far on 165 calls.
Fridays can be okay if the night before direction gets it right. No time to figure it out during trading.
Depend on my long used set of indicators on the 5-minute charts.
Coffee. Whew !
Edit: DOG, here is an example that I was going to write about last afternoon. Other list of likely short term options trading stocks, later. I mostly trade intra-day. More later.
Edit: There should be several more prospects in 5 more hours. Gotta rest and rebuild what "ought" to happen. Slowly

Beer, Hi.
No, I am asleep today, I am actually trading August 18 strikes. Something seemed wrong when I was entering the trades. No It wasn't Ameritrade. C'mon Roy, it's daylight.
I have some other stuff, not options, due to sell next Tuesday and Wednesday Aug 22 and 23.
My mind has been missing some licks since my 90th birthday Aug 7. Went to Portland and back for 3 days.
Thanks for your help. I'll take all I can get.
My wife for 47 years, Marge, died 20 years ago in June. Doris, for 13 years is different. Difficult. She has a baaaaad case of ADHD.

Chaiken oscillator reversed to downward, five 5-minute candles on the stock before the top (so far). This indicator along with RSI, Wm%R and STO's 5.5 and 14.3 is usually worth a moderate puts entry.

smartone, SPY 246 puts. Now what? It's Wednesday. Surely further south for the stock?
I'm looking for a top to enter puts, maybe soon, maybe after a while when RSI and other upside indicators seem to be tiring. Looking at Chaiken Osc, but not yet.

johny1. Hi. What methods do you use to decide?
I have StockCharts set up with 8 or 10 indicators that have become useful for some years, rarely changed. Also, single keystroke to change from 3-minutes, 5-minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, daily, and weekly. Most of the trading time I am on 5-minutes or 15-minutes. Looking at "tomorrow" in the evenings, I'll click on daily for context as well.
Anythings like that in your quiver?

Late getting this idea.
Thanks johny1. I've been at this site quite few years, watching other traders. One thing that often seems to present opportunities is Friday weeklies. For specific familiar underlying stocks. Requires quick fingers on the sell and buy keys, and special attention to my usual 5-minute indicators. And a certain willingness to cut losses short.
Glad to see your work. I was initially wondering about your SPY calls, two strikes. Doing well, so congrats.
