I heard it from a little birdy.lol
Oh yeah Jan I completely forgot about those. lol
STI doesn't have 22.50, are you sure you don't mean 22.00 call (stibv)? And yes smart move for jumping in on the calls at the EOD. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of day trading. So I have to want until tomorrow when my funds clear before I can repurchase more options.
Nice STI closed over 21.08. I will watch it gap tomorrow am, and probably buy some calls on a pullback. I will check the future later tonight to get a fell for the market tomorrow morning
I agree 100% with you on the whole take quick profits, b/c when i make my trades and have about 20% it is so hard for me to take profits. But like you said after watching bb for a year (about 9 months) The little gains will add up quick.
time to update my spreadsheet. Currently down 28% since jan 1 compared to 53% a few days ago. Time to make up for those aapl loses, Thanks for sti trade. Great call.
I figured i need a win under my belt. I outed my 8 calls at .83 :)for a 46% gain.
I think it is time for me to call my broker and ask for a higher level platform for options rather than continuing with a leve1 1.
Ok I just picked up 8 contracts at .57
Sti I love the channel pointed out in the chart posted. Maybe it time for financial to lead the way. Well futures are down -18 as I write this so tomorrow I will consider picking up some feb calls.
Very well said.
out of apple for a 51% loss on this spike down. ok time to move on to the next one
Sweet! spread sheet up and off to a good start BB, Now if aapl can get a 3% move before the End of the week. I will be dancing
nice going, congrats on your winning trade. Are you also going to make a spread sheet like you did last year listing your positions?
Yeah I'm still holding, just sitting back and charting the spy. Aapl is the only position I have currently so I'm just baby sitting.
It probably would have if the vix wasn't so high up as well
Im not worried about the company, just the time frame of my january calls. Im sure if I had some feb calls to help offset some jan calls I wouldnt worry as much.
Im hoping aapl get closer to 220 by exp but Im starting to second guess my self. It always starts off very strong in the am and gradually sells off during the day. aapl has earning on the 1/20 and options expire 1/16 for Jan. im trying to weight the odds I may just cut my loses and roll what I have into feb calls.
This is my first year, I actually started with aapl on the 12/23. im down about 65% on the 220calls for jan but we will see what happens. my avg is 3.24 with 3 calls
ok sounds good
is that one of your pcp trades?
Thanks for the heads up on the changes. I always looks at your spread sheets at least 3 times a week just to see where I am standing. Overall I am looking forward to the new year. I need to find a really good book on options so I can read it as I am learning, I will probably go to FAU and see what they have in the library.
Yeah Im watching it as well, oh well what can you do.
Looking forward to it I'm down 21% on the calls but I'm still up 3% for the month. Lol.
ok sounds good.
Ouch i left my house for an hour to come back to a bloody aapl, hmm I wonder what happen.
Yeah it does look great. I would just feel better if the spy was above the 200ma, which im sure it will get there before the eod.
Hmm... the spy is trending sides ways. Im looking for a push to the up side. I see its under the 200ma on the 5min chart. I say we get over that before the EOD
Yeah I only have 3 contracts. Im going to hold it im in no rush
Oops i forgot to put the strike yest they are January 220. lol
Better yet instead of hoping i am looking for a reversal
Bought some aapl calls at 3.24 earlier now hoping for a reversals.
lol it happens to us all
Oh yeah I agree once or if it does get to 112.5. I am going to get long some aapl calls I missed out on these.
Looks like the spy wants to fill the gap at 112.56
Thank you rx, im done for the day.
Maybe but I wont be there to enjoy the ride. lol
Yeah I hear u. Nice job lock in that dinero
Im still wanting the 19.40. I will get it
Yup and I thank him, .10 and Im done for the day
