thanks for the reply. I have limited access due to work blocking the chat room and couldn't keep up.
JB, you still holding the PCLN puts?
Thanks for that post. One question though, what are ORB trades?

Who wrote the intro at the top to this message board?
Thanks to you and everyone else for all of the kind words.
Some blind following but mostly me. I can pick options that move and get 30, 40 an even 90% gains but hold them overnight. Then I overtrade thinking that previous gain will come back. Hardly ever does
Well, that's that.
Lost 12k in 3 months. Got $42 in cash in my account (unless I do some sellling on ebaying) and 1 EFII Mar. $25 call I bought for .20 two weeks ago. I even subscribe to the website and still no profit.
Its like I'm reading exactly what I do.
The Dumb Arse Award goes to me!
Once again I faked up a great trade. I bought 10 SINA $55 weekly calls for .25 and 10 BIDU $115 weekly calls for .09 this morning. With me going having class this morning, I couldn't follow it closely, which I know was stupid on that part. I did however see it go from .25 to 1.00+ on SINA and .09 to .50+ on BIDU. I held them through that push and after class around noon, I was still up over 100% on all. Still I held. Long story short, my greed for wanting to get that price I saw at 10:30 kept me from selling even a break even. I avg'd down on the BIDU calls twice, putting a total $200 into it. Overall, I ended up selling the SINA calls for .05/piece since they were so close to the money, and the BIDU's expired.
That's $500 down the toilet in less than 6 hrs. I need help learning how to set stops on options. Any ideas. I'm sure all the pro's on here will scold me for being dumb, but I already know that. I can pick the stocks, just selling is the problem.
Now let me check to see if this first story window is locked so I can jump out.
$CALL testing green territory. Has the breakout test been completed?
Is there a way to watch this later.
$CALL really low vol. today. I hope that spike to 18.95 is what's to come
