so far I am wrong.. the doji star hasnt come true on crude oil
so far I am wrong.. the doji star hasnt come true on crude oil
This whole time Oil has been rallying and putting in upper wicks.. I think $29 is coming.. reversal candles starting to print
I wish the best. I am thinking we try for lvl 2 breaker today or we gap down tomorrow as well.. I want to sell the IV, not holding til expiry
is it because closer to expiration the better?.. people want to exercise the calls and sell the stock? .. dont get it.
guys, shopped $VIX calls last week.. the August premiums are really low. I got VIX 80c @ .25 (currently .35/.55) .. look at $VIX april 15 80c (1.70/1.80)
Can anyone explain why.. or is no one looking at option chain?
golden ticket??
ok I got crazy and added SPY May 15 125p @ .32
I placed a marker on BABA monday.. it was down until today.. but barely made 100% ... so interesting to me.
if we pop back over 2600.. I will add more put debit spreads in July/Sept.. should burn enough premium on a move like that.. selling put vertical spreads might be the play today @ 2500 or 2490
careful with them weeklies.. they lose premium quick.. I lost $100 at yesterdays close chasing yolo til 415
sorry DIA 135/125.. had to check again.. the MM won't let me sell they have the 125 ask higher than the 135..
I am selling below the bid that is for sure.. the only ones I couldnt make sale on so far is the DIA puts 125/115 july exp.. the spread is terrible..
Some spreads I sold were SPY +235/-220 april, SPY 185/175 6/19, SPY 180/156 april, SPY 215/210 july, SPY 125/110 september, QQQ 110/100 July
IWM 75p june, sold for 2500%
TSLA 115p september
AMZN 1200/1180 May 15
to name a few..
I am all over the place trying to sell these and ride some for free.. but that's how I set up starting in jan before the collaspe.. I havent traded many weeklies.. just near close on expiry day..
I am holding a bunch of free TLT calls from january as well.. that was the play of the year by far.. had hundreds on contracts. I sold most last week.. it capiluated and waiting for the premiums to go a bit lower for fed mtg next week
Again, sorry this probably sounds like mania, but I just realized gains and my account is up huge, with so much left on the plate still.. nearing 6 digits.. what a year so far
Do you have an email?DM me
Another account doubled. In cash with most trades holding freebies and spreads.. looking for scalps when this calms down
I’m voting for him again this fall.. back to charts. We may hit the 7% within an hour of open.. this could be the flush day before we start another bounce
I agree with your last statement.. this will be a bear market for the history books
As expected.. more ping pong whip saw.. don’t have to trade all day just buy calls or puts last 5 mins LOL LOL
halted for news.. over 30min
Same I took 200 shares.. I think the low could get to 8.94 ... but we will see .. adding at 11, 10, and 8.94 if it gets there
12.80 -- I would wait for dividend yield news to add more
Fluff at best.. I am down for shorts at a cheaper premium
Agreed. The oil war has just begun.. well see who goes bankrupt first
That fade was beefy.. wonder what the boys are gonna cook up tonight.. stimulus checks?
congrats good trade! Looks like a pop lock and drop is happening.. so far just the pop, lol

new LOD... unreal
Appears that way.. fun fact also.. most points down so far in a day, but not % wise
hahaha.. LETS GO BABY!!
dead money likely... although i did a place marker on BABA puts earlier.. and they are just barely down.. crazy.. and telling.
I have confidence it will.. I am so short right now and its all green
scored some march 11 245p @.28 -- holding into expiry
spreads tightenin gup.. scanning for good plays
Hard to do much today.. spreads wide.. couldnt sell premium.. I did make 3 plays. UVXY Jun 150c @86, BABA Jun 140p @ 2.78 and GILD May 105c @ 2.41
Futures circuit breaker popped.. see yall in the morning!
yeah but for options? I havent found them
I got wild and took a TSLA 115p Sep 18 2020 expiry on Friday as well @ 2.00.. it has held up well considering all the sell off going on
The rally late Friday was a market maker taking a big L in VIX.. 150k contracts I believe
it was spam.. you can find screeners within your TDA platform.. I don't think E*Trade does it
haha yeah, trading is a lifestyle
I grabbed some MSFT puts and put spreads before close... I expect another bounce this week.. will be when I add some May expiry plays.. my first weekly play will be a $SPX strangle, friday expiry just because of the price action its likely cover the cost
