Hey Jb,
There aren't many call options available for $DWA, just JULY and SEPT.

for it to double it would be well above all time highs.
Anyone buying $YHOO calls for earnings play or maybe an announcement with $aapl Too??
$GOOG - 758.50 by April 12th!
Very interesting. i only have a level 2 account right now which is why i never saw those options before.

JB where do you see $SAM after earnings? Look ready to Gooooo!
Hey Everyone!
Still been watching and paper trading! My paper trade account this month is up almost 200%!! So I think i am finally ready to wager some real $$!
I found out that my trade king account lets me trade weekly options, so im double excited!
Does anyone else use them to trade options? Reviews?
Thanks!
$UVXY and $VXX FEB puts... anyone else in these? seems like almost free money... unless I am missing something...
I watched the $BIDU Option today. It was all over the place! I paper traded it .26 to .49 so I was pretty excited. I noticed it went from .49 back to like .10 within an hour.
I think it is hard to set a stop on a weekly option like that IMO, but my new motto is if I can't watch it and I'm up, I sell!
There was a few low trades, but its back to 14.20 (for now)
16:23 $ 11.60

I was pumped when i saw $11.60...
The PPS is reflecting the perspective buy out deal, but i just don't see it sticking at $14... buyout would happen between feb 1st-28th... schulze would be a jackwagon to buy out $BBY at over $20 a share... why bid an almost 50% premium for a company that only posted small store to store loses?

If this sticks at $!4 for a week... i may buy a few lotto calls for a buy out.
i just picked up a few now... i noticed the same thing on the chart... plus i hate $bby so figured it was worth a shot. hoping for a huge gap down monday!
is it just me or does anyone else see PUTS on $BBY next week? I can't believe that stock is up $2 with the "christmas wasn't that bad" news it put out today.
Figures! I'll be away next week haha!
oh well, theres always next time!!!
No problem! I only started a month or so ago, Do yourself one favor... PAPER TRADE! I paper traded for only like 2 weeks, then pulled a few real trades, and so far i'm about even (down a little). The emotion is crazy once you put real money on the line.
What I did on my paper trade account is I put real money to the side at home, and put that into my "paper trade" account. even though this is all sort of make believe, it made me question more paper trades i was making. Feel like it puts a little emotion into paper trading.
I'm paper trading for a few months, or until i can triple my paper account haha
Enjoy! lots of great info on this board! Everything in the top of the IBOX are great rules! I'm working on following them, and it seems to be working haha!
I have a sharebuilder IRA account with options. They only have monthly options. I've only traded options few times with that account though. No restrictions that I know of though!
$SHLD chart looks ugly, and it Closed below $40.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
I like $DECK too, but I don't think this is the bottom...
just finished christmas shoppin at the outlets.
Ugg's $DECK and True Religion $TRLG Jeans were beyond packed, so packed that True Religion had people waiting outside to get in.
on the other hand, Crocs $CROX was packed with merchandise and no one shopping...
When earning season comes around for them... i will have these on watch.
other stores were just packed as usual. those three just stood out as crazy.
Hey, I think my problem is that I always wait just a little too long. I see a 90% gain, and I'm like, oh great, stock goes up $xx and ill be at 100% I can wait... then it drops in the toilet, and I sell for much less. i think i did this because of broker commission. Sharebuilder charges almost $24 roundtrip for a 1 contract trade. I think when i open my new account at option house, that will solve the commission problem (they charge MUCH less)
My new rule is when I see a gain, I'm taking it. as a newbie, i think this is a good way to start. of course I'd love to triple bag every trade like the big timers here, but that isn't possible. Its all a learning curve.
I trade the same as You, $100-$200 a trade. I think about it this way now: If someone walked into my store, and said, hey, give me $100 and ill give you $175 back in a few hours, I'd take that deal without even thinking. So why not take that deal in an option trade? (of course the guy who comes into Jimmy's store says give me $200 ill give you $1500 back in few hours haha)
I'm trying to get out of the swing for the fence mid set (of course i'd love to see a 1200% return, and i'll get my share of those) and get in the mindset that a 60% gain in one day is huge.
I notice my best paper trades are intraday trades that ride on huge buying or selling volume. I think those trades I am almost 90% on finding winners. average gain was anywhere from 70%-300%. Anything I hold for more than 2 days seem to just screw me.
Hope this helps. I'm still learning a lot too. took my first expired call this week, I can see how new traders can go broke fast. Beginning in this takes a lot of patients i believe. Once you make a huge account, different story, you can go on a "lotto" call, but until then, take 6 months and turn $1000 into $10000. Thats my goal!
Thanks!
Chuck
Question: What website/programs do you use to watch real time daily chart trends and buying/selling volume?
I notice a lot of people use these types of charts to trade intraday and was wondering what they use.
(and then some use that crystal ball haha)
Thanks for any help...
