AAPL 118 wkly calls @.75 PAPER TRADE
Well aren't you the smart one?....lol yes you are. Looks like a big payday for you. Congrats
Your IWM puts cash machine was working again today. Did you hit that ATM?
Wish I did have pm, this site is a bugger with all the ads and pop-ups. Make my laptop freeze up half the time.
You are doing very well. My record stinks! Thanks for the reply vegas,
Brad
Since I can't even consistently make $150/day I had a job interview today for a job that will barely pay $150/day. A stepping stone opportunity....the department head is retiring in 3 yrs and makes dbl sooooo....if I hang in there.. I'm too old for stepping stones @ 57 but not much choice. lol sucks!
$500 a day (profit) keeps the job away! Not a bad hours work VEGAS!
SHizzill....was about to hit a few spy 210 puts @.27 but the phone rang. Had to help a customer..missed a quick dbl. Can't win this game.
EDIT you thinking a market fade into the close? Been really strong but peeps might be scared of the week -end.
The calls are 3x from when I looked at those puts....so close but yet so far. Crazy reversal
EDT sob FB .25 now and 106.18 I'm such a loser. got to laugh ha ha ha Zuckerberg I hate you!
EDIT fb 106.07 trying again to break out calls went to.12 on the dip. That was a tiring trade bro.
Spy missed that. already bouncing hard. Didn't go for it. Putting up a big 1 min green candle
FB fading now so good thing I bailed out..just wish I could have had a little better escape. Don't feel like puts would be a great idea it just never made any big moves either way today.
OUT FB 106 calls .19 from .25 - .06 held from yesterday. Stock trended up all day. Missed .22 before 10 am when the computer froze entering order. My luck! every time it would try to make a move it would take so long the premium burn would eat up my chances. Made a 3 second run to 106 .17 couldn't catch it and thought another breakout spurt might come. Started to sell off a couple of times so I just ended the fing torture. Meanwhile dbl and triples flying all around...now that I have thrown in the towel after holding most of the day on a fri (risky) it will likely finish off my small self-esteem by running to 106.50 or some crap. Happy Friday again..
FB Added some @ .15 ave .25 hope a late day pop will save me. Paper trade + .50% real money trade ...sucking wind so far.
That was me good buddy. You had a nice payday on that! FB puts around lunch time would have killed it too.
EDIT BTO FB 106 call @ .35
FB 105 puts 3x from the call exit. Watching for a bottom maybe near 104.50. Lot of high volume red candles on the 5 min.May be seller capitulation point here soon.
looks like you could have flipped right into the puts . Dropping hard now.
NICE you were right on the money I think it went to 106.60 Ok that was a good lesson. I "lernt sumthin" today lol Thanks coach glad you made some cash.
OUT FB paper trade .51 from .33 + .18 50% I'll take it..still looks good and 15 min looks good but the market has been so wild I don't trust it. Example yesterday AAPL trade. Got up a bit and had to bail for a loss. Turned out to be the right move as aapl continued down.
EDIT ok so it this 2 5 min wicks up against the upper bollie? (10) or were the bodies big enough to give it more time? When you have a second to answer.
EDIT great so far..I see other stuff poppin too. Spy, iwm, googl nflx
LOL I'm thinking and you are buying...let's see how this works out. GLTY
EDIT looks like it's trying to break out of this wedge and indicators starting to turn up. Paper trade fb107 calls @.33
What time did you enter and exit? 2nd 5 min candle had a big wick at the top right?
FB trade = Houdini award . lol
I did see some positive comments on the ipad pro being bought by a lot of business accounts. Likely replacing laptops but I get your point.
Unexpected news can turn the chart but that wasn't my motive for trying to play a bounce when it was so oversold on the shorter (15,30 and hour) charts yesterday afternoon.
EDIT it's there right now! Lets see what happens.
So what would be your target entry? Around 108 ? or at this point puts are the play?
Yet Beer the master AAPL trader was/is long 117's now that worked pretty good this morning. I guess he got out of that? He hasn't posted any exit. I got enough bounce to scalp it but thought a 118 break might get it to pay off. Would have been nice to hear they sold like 12 billion i phones Black Friday lol that would turn it up.
Your lack of willingness to comment was comment enough. I took it that You didn't like my chances and it was softening up even more so I wasn't liking it much either. When it failed to push back over 118 I began doubting a good outcome. Smart you win most of the time so chime in any time but I hold the mouse..nothing you say can hurt me and I wouldn't hold it against you no matter what the outcome. You use a couple of indicators I'm not skilled with so just looking for more info that I might be overlooking.
Short answer..15 min chart continued to look good in spite of the pull backs. I wasn't trading off a 1 min chart. I didn't like the big spurts up because they tend to result in quick trips down but it was holding at the middle bollie on the pull backs. I have watched trades go against me for days and thought maybe just this one frikin time it might go with me for a least a couple of hours. After going sideways it dipped and shook me out...conserving my cash ( that always works lol NOT!)Hind site is 20/20 making the decision to hold or fold at the moment is not so clear. Oh and I never think I will make dbl or trip. Look back at my record...do you ever see that happening? rare. i win little and lose big. I could do better flipping a coin. Why not ask me why I didn't buy NFLX yesterday? answer...cause I would have had a 4 or 5 bagger and that's not allowed for me...sorry but I'm a bit salty right now. looks like I may have had another shot at out even but it is heading south again now. BTW I do appreciate your help so no worries farooq
Almost everything I'm watching is forming a red candle on the 5....maybe things are going to roll over. AAPL has not followed the market much the last several days so that doesn't help. I'm done for now got chit to do.
EDIT OK BRAD'S OUT !!!TAKE IT UPPPPPPP! $%#$
SOLD AAPL 119 calls .31 - .03 drifting down and burning premium. Missed .44 around 11am but wasn't ready to give up on it. Watch it now bounce past 118 and rocket.
BIDU making a nice turn off the bottom today. Your thoughts on AAPL? I'm still holding. 5,15 and 30 min still look promising so giving it time. May be a buck too high on my strike to get much out of this unless it really gets busy.
Yep saw that. I like to waste my time with the hard ones LOL Thinking of a new strategy. Just going to put favorite names in a hat with put or call and draw one out for the play of the day. Actually trying to make an intelligent choice isn't working well for me. ...geez
Got a few yesterday.
12/01/15 Executed @ .34 Buy Open 4 AAPL Dec 04 '15 $119 Call Limit Day 12/01/15 02:26:36 PM EST Option
Buy Open
NICE! Kicking myself for passing on the NFLX calls 126's were near $1 yesterday morning ...$4 ish now
That sucks Beer. Happens to me all the time. AAPL bouncing nice this morning for you
When you hit AMZN the second time I was tempted but didn't think I could buy enough contracts to make that work. Turns out even 1 would have worked! Nice trade Smart
Roger that...spent so much energy watching AAPL I missed a good trade on NFLX. Calls around 10:30 were the ticket. I don't trade that much so focused on not buying AAPL lol. Hope TSLA puts will work out for you....that one can be snake bite you.
Lesson here if it doesn't want to go up it must want to go down... AAPL selling off more than I expected but the 15 min chart didn't look promising for a reversal this morning so I guess I should not be surprised. Patience cost me nothing.
Beer you still like the AAPL calls? I have been tempted a couple of times this morning but held off and each attempt at a rally has failed. Could have scalped 120's for .10 or .12 but no follow through.
IWM puts..still in that? Might be working now.
Roy is the IWM expert. He plays it quite often, mostly the puts I think
EDIT posted too soon.Tanking now...
SPY selling off a bit on that news, was expecting a quicker bad reaction. Just kind of slow fading so far. AAPL fading now too.
Kind of want a rematch against NE cause we lost to them the only time we ever made it to the SB but they will do anything to win so maybe we don't want to play them lol
Paper traded aapl 120 calls .35 to .45 it's falling back now. Didn't buy it cause I didn't really think it would go far before falling even more.
lOL I almost turned the TV off to go to bed but decided to sit there a few more minutes. Crazy ending! I did go to bed too early Sun night and missed the end of the Denver NE game...Panthers are the only undefeated team and a couple of fairly easy games coming up. That said...anything can happen right?!
Yep it popped $2 in like 15 minutes...I didn't want to chase it lol. Well hope that didn't wipe you out but a quick lesson in the power of option leverage. Get it right it makes you really happy. Get it wrong it will make you want to cry, yell cuss and pound your desk. Well me anyway.I paper traded nflx today and got out with a small profit but I was way down. Couldn't really get a feel for anything so didn't risk money on it. Better luck tomorrow
Welcome to the club ...and the board. That would happen to me. I actually thought of BIDU calls earlier in the morning after Smart got out of his puts. I would have sold for .50 profit thinking I killed it and been just watching when it turn into a 12 bagger.ouch
BIDU going bat chit cray cray....+7.60 and turning on the after burners. Did they buy GOOGL ? LOL just kidding but wth?
