Good job Dot - was better to leave with a bird in hand. You know at some point there will be a rush to take profits. Best to be ahead of the pack.
What a fun day. I am out of trades/cash til tomorrow.
BOT F Jun21 $16C@ .72- swing
ReBot CAT Jul$107C @ 1.79. Swing trade.
Out CAT(again)@ @ 1.37 (+.30)
The Cat has been very very good to me today
Thx Smart! ReBot CAT $105C @ 1.02
OUT CAT July19 $105 C @ 2.71 (+.53)
Agree! I know it won't last forever, but right now it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Thanks - I hadn't connect all the DOTs - insightful.
OUT F 16.50 C @ .36 (.+16)
BOT CAT July19 $105 C @ 2.18- swing trade
Holding BRK.B, MSFT, F - doing good today, more room to run.
MSFT running...
OUT TWTR Jun21 $30Put@ .42 (-.05)
BOT MSFT June21 $41C @ .17
(Average down prior position at .49)
BOT MSFT Jun21 $39C @ 1.11
(Average down prior position of 1.98)
Thanks Farooq. You're right. I'll probably adjust this trade tomorrow. I think F wants to bounce.
F seems also to be heavily robot traded --a penny up and down all day long. Looks like scalping for .005.
F - anyone have a gas can?
Out CAT Jun21 $105C @ 1.01 (+.16)
left a lot of the table.
Bot F 16.50 C @ .13 - running!
BOT TWTR Jun21 $30Put@ .47-swing trade
AAPL nice chart - bull pennant?
BOT CAT Jun21 $105C @ .85 - looks like someone is loading, steady accumulation this morning.
Good insights Beer. Sorry to hear of family worries. They do take precedence over everything else. Best wishes.
BOT BRK.B June $130C@ .45
AAPL split Xdate is tomorrow. Curious to see how it will affect overall market, SPY, etc.
BOT MSFT Jun21 $39C @ 2.05
SPY formed H&S. Then, big buyers came. They seem to want to keep it around 192.45-5-. Is that the pin?
Edit BIDU - H&S may be forming on 2min chart.
Bot MSFT $41 C June21 @ .49
For longer term swing trade.
BOT TSLA 202.5P @ .05
Averaging down position from yesterday to .105.
OUT MSFT $40 Call @.81 (+.16)
Purchased yesterday and held over.
Q: Had SPY 192P from yesterday. In today's options chain, all of the other strikes have lots of volume. 192 has 0 - why? TIA
Congrats Brad! I had a terrible day.
I am making the same mistakes over and over - I think I am seeing reversal signals and entering puts without confirmation. Then, instead of turning down, stocks went up and up and up.
I keep expecting people to suddenly take profits. Need to review my reversal signal errors.
Picked up MSFT $40 June 21 Calls at .66 today. Up almost a dime at close. Hopefully, will make up for some of my other bad trades.
Unloaded half of my TSLA at cost. The rest is deeply underwater.
Holding SPY and 1/2 TSLA over night on the hopes that folks will take profits tomorrow.
Add TSLA 202.5 Put at .17. New av=.36
BOT SPY $192P at .53
Sold UTX $116 Put @ .35 (+.05)and grateful for it.
Thanks! It has been kind of a nail-biter today. GLTY too.
Arrg! Computer froze and I missed 2 exits. I jumped on TSLA on the way down @.59, then it shot up.
I'm upside down on UTX. Didn't gap down fast like I thought it would.
This feels like an exceeding hard market to trade. My computer isn't fast enough for it.
Hoping for another dip to minimize the damage. I know... hope is not a strategy.
BOT UTX $116 Put @ .30 - hoping for gap down.
Thanks Roy - will chart it through the day - gotta run errands early afternoon, so will do analysis after market. Thanks again!
Gotcha Roy. When you have time, could you please explain why you chose that strike? I am watching the trade since I cannot trade today (switchover from margin to nonmargin account status today).
The 615 strike had a delta of -.20 or so. If you had gone for a higher Delta strike (i.e. 620 strike delta was around .33), would it have not been more profitable with lower costs because of fewer contacts?
Thanks in advance - after hours explanation is fine.
