BIDU two hours early on that idea. Really sold off...man no balls today. Tired of being wrong so maybe gun shy after feeling the wins this week.
That's my guess too. Heck it's not up that much but market just happy for a floor forming....maybe lol I've been too slow on everything today. No trades so far.
EDIT BIDU trying to slide.....tempting.
BIDU hold up surprisingly well. I was eyeing that for puts earlier but skipped it luckily. Maybe it breaks lower in a bit. Almost bit on AAPL calls and GPRO calls but didn't. Can't lose if you don't play. I'm not good at puts so still just watching. Resisting the urge to do something but I do need to make a few buck today.
IWM your favorite put play is working well today.
NICE! TWTR getting clobbered too. I'm watch NFLX but not seeing anything (up or down) worth risking my record on...
OIL up = MKT up? so far that seems to still be the trend right?
Yep ,futures were up pretty strong even before the news. I had a feeling they might take it up this morning but not confident enough to buy any calls to hold over. I've missed a dozen chances on GPRO and stopped myself from buying a few 17 calls late in the day. It's up .50 premarket. AAPL, FB, NFLX and all our fav's up too. Now I'd be careful of peeps selling into this gap up. Guess we'll see
EDIT it's popin' a bit, SPY is anyway
Art Cashin mentioned a sell imbalance going into the close. Does that mean short positions may get covered. ie Buying pressure/rally?
NFLX 120 call bot a few .45 it crashed 2 more bucks dbl'd down on .22's and it caught a good bounce. Ran like a thief at .46 + .12 5 for 5 It's helping me to be more disciplined to post results here so hope you guys don't mind. I did very poorly last year so I needed to make some changes. Working so far. later Shred
NFLX 120 calls. got a few @.45 then rode it down. Almost wrecked my record. Added .22's ave .34 and got the heck out of dodge @ .46 !!+ .12 yay me!5 for 5 they wern't to far otm when i got in but sank $2.50 more so I hit the exit with a small profit. Dude I'm so happy! Nice small consistent gains. Now tell me to shut down the computer and stop for today!! Done anyway got Golf practice at 4pm I'm the Asst Coach.
EDIT looks like I left a bit on the table...Had a stupid entry on a way out of the money call so I grabbed the cash and ran while I could! lol
Thanks! just quick scalped nflx 120 calls for .12 made some grocery money! 5 for 5 now!
NFLX 120 calls in @ .34 ave out .46 = +.12 got in bad so got out pretty quick
DANG! Nice one, great exit. NFLX looks like it's trying to level out...maybe some short covering for a bounce here shortly
The interesting story will be who wins and how well do they handle "sudden wealth syndrome" The last giant pot had 3 winners. The lady from NC and her boyfriend quickly came into drug (H)trouble.
Yesterday the morning rally faded. You have a feel for today's bounce? I don't see much from a technical standpoint to support follow through. Some quick scalp chances but I would be hard pressed to trust it.
AAPL 100 calls in .39 @ 9:36 out .79 @ 9 :47 + .39 !! 4 for 4 in 2016 this is a great streak for me!
2nd edit Thanks man..Pretty much the plan to keep it around $200 or so. As the account builds it will just give me more freedom in the trade count. Still moving money around between accounts to give me trades without PDT issues. I need to replenish the eoption account I screwed it up a while back.
EDIT good exit it's tanking now. AAPL sold off too but heck it might go again after it cools down a bit.
NICE TRADE!!! I saw your post and was like YEH that's a good pick!! Mine went so fast I couldn't even post it till it was over.
Thanks man ...from your typing fingers to GOD's ears brother. I'm not going big ( only 4 contracts) just being the opportunistic trader. If I worked today I wouldn't have make more than that one trade gave me. If I can build up the account more,I can slide up the amount a little. Making sure to send a little back to my checking account to help pay the bills too.
Wazz uppppp! Scalped AAPL 100 calls a few minutes after the open from .39 to .79 !!! Got a double in 10 minutes!! SWEET! 4 for 4 in 2016. I've never got 4 in a row that I can remember. Pretty much ended 2015 with a loss for the year.
AAPL 100 calls BOT .39 quickly out .79 = + .40 Got a lot to do today so running with the cash 4 for 4 2016 Hey that was a 2 x right HE HE!
Got the good one today thankfully. Look at those FB puts now. Too risky to hold overnight in this market. Totally gambling if you do.
FB 101 puts in at .39 out .72= +.33 whaaaa!My darn computer froze again. Grabbed my daughter's phone and bailed out! LOL
FB sold 101 puts .72 from .39 whohooo. 3 for 3. Had to sell on my daughter's phone. Computer froze again. Saw it dropped to 102 on CNBC and just dumped it. LOL
FB 101 puts sold .72 form .39 = +.33 YESSS!! My computer froze again. Took me 30 minutes to get it to shut down and restart.Saw fb on CNBC at 102 so I sold it on my daughter's phone. Pretty much ran out da house with the $$$. You should be good now too. 3 for 3 in 2016 !
FB 102.96 come on and die!
FB trying to drop below the 103 again. Maybe this is our time. Come on and do a Faceplant for us. Needs to tank a buck and we'll be golden.
FB 101 wkly puts picked up a few @ 11:40am @.39. Going sideways and can't break below 103. Nervous....almost bailed with a small loss a couple of times. Computer doing better now.
EDIT bid firming up a bit...Look at NFLX on a rocket. News out about INDIA business.
FB have a difficult time breaking down through 103 level. What do you see as Support/resistance spots? . Not liking this pop
EDIT you still in the SPY?
yes also cleared history and temp files. Ran AVG scan too. It's got a balky media card so Ihub really clogs it up on top of just refreshing charts etc.
EDIT FB BTO 101's puts .39 looking like it's running out of steam finally. Got the computer working better now. not 102's
Wife had to take the good one to work. I knew it would be a challenge to trade with it so I got up pretty good and just started trying to get a sell order to go through. White knuckle trading for sure!
Monday trades FB calls .50 to .71 + .21 missed .85 and later .88 played it really stupid but still a profit.
Tuesday AAPL 103 calls in@ .46 around 9:45 sold .74 @ 10.30 +.28 computer freezing up so bad it scared me out about 10 minutes before it tanked. Got lucky. 2 for 2 in 2016 just a few contract on each trade.GLTA
EDIT computer so bad it took me 2 or 3 minutes to just answer your message.May be done for today.
Thanks. I had to sell. way to scary with this freezing up laptop today. WOW just got the price to refresh. I got out GOOD. Yay me for a change!
AAPL 103 calls Sold .74 from .46 + .28 my computer is really crapping out today. Wife took the good one to work. My technical reason to sell...good profit and scared to trade in the dark. 2 for 2 in 2016
BTO AAPL 103 calls @.46 Finger on the button
You think we bounce or go down more after a failed bounce attempt?
Cha Ching! BIDU puts look like an easy double when it opens. Hope you have a good load.
You killed it on those held over SPY puts Monday morning right? Extended the vacation after banking that LOL
Positive thoughts for 2016.. positive thoughts!
That works if you are trading big bucks. My max trade would be MAYBE 10 contracts if they were really cheap or I had to ave in. Still a decent trade to start the year. I really didn't play it all that well but still won. You know like hitting a tree and you golf ball lands on the green...
yep but it's making me look stupid now @.90 Got to go run some errands and would have made very little if I trailed it and it didn't go higher so I just took what was on the table. Really need to be smarter...I want to be smarttwo lol see ya later
