Gapper JCP correction, OOPS
Gapper JCO what the heck, the 200 day MA abd 50 day MA pinch is driving me crazy. following the last pop on earnings it has a double C&H too. So one of these days it looks like it could break to the upside. JMDAO Flip
JCP, testing the water with 100 contracts calls for 9.00 june21
.40
This is what you watch? Yes on a longer term look. but I buy on shorter term(for me is 60 min and sometime 30 min charts)
But the daily charts can take a while to play out? I guess that is why I play longer term Options ,like 4 and 5 weeks out.
But my timing has not been all that good, I guess longer term I do OK and have made good $ on MY Options Call plays,but a lot run down after I play them, maybe I should cover them with a 50% put play? LOL buy 200 calls and 100 puts, then when it runs down on my bad call play I can sell the puts and wait for the calls to pay off LOL
60 min chart: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=JCP&p=60&yr=0&mn=3&dy=21&id=p09016156490&a=351382920
JCP put/calls: oops here is chart.
Note I will be looking to play it long NOW with calls.off the 9.60 pullback or if it fails the 9.60 will look to go long at 9.20 to 9.16?
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=JCP&p=D&yr=0&mn=9&dy=0&id=p29057944436&a=351382266
JCP puts, <<Completely different feeling going all in versus strategic playing.>> Yes it messes my head up trying to think backwards on playing puts.
but the reason I called it out was the 200 day MA and seeing a big% of the time when a stock crosses over the falling 200MA and just before the golden 50 day MA and 200 day MA they like to run if down below the 200 day MA. They have done that on some of the stocks I have played on Option calls and I see then fall back after buying them.
Anyway the reason I said I would sell is that if pulled back to a lower support at 9.60 and on the daily and 60 min charts, it could run up fast. So now I would be more inclined to watch for Option calls on this pullback of 1.00 off the high?
If it falls below the 9.60 again then the support is like 9.15?
I also watch the 50 mid like on the RSI and the 50/200day MA as a pivot for a pop up and run. I would also like to see the Stochastic run down to or belowthe 20 line and run up to also confirm a run up. JMO's
Flip
JCP PUTs, I sould havep layed my read on the pullback.
the June 6th 9.50 and June13 9.50 puts would have paid a double off the .40 and .50 I called.If I had, I would be selling as a double JMO.
But like I sid I don't play much for PUTS, but maybe I should check them out more. It looks like the fall faster then they go up , so maybe pay out faster?
anyway all I know the way I play it takes me a long time and not all that many dowbles on MY call plays.
shoulda,coulda almost woulda LOL
Flip
JCP puts I'm going to wait until monday or tues and see what it looks like. I think it still needs to blow off some more volm.
But called still be talked into buying june 6th or 13th 9.50 puts
Then? they could get cheaper? maybe if it runs up to or just over 10.00? JFYI I would not be buying calls LOL
JMO
Flip
S Didn't like the short term charts and the volm picked up on the sell side, So I sold the June 9.00 calls at .76 and I just bought back at .62 now will hold 200 contracts june 21 9.00 calls.
I might buy a few more? (it will all be on the houses money from the may call profits.) I got the 9.00 june calls for close to what I sold the may 9.00 for yesterday
Flip
downtimepg JCP I have to trade on longer time frames LOL I can't get my head around the moves on one days stuff.
but I feel with the volm today IT's a hard trade for today.
that is why I would let it cool off to blow off some more Volm to see? My feeling is within the next few week it pulls back to the 9.00 support or lower for a fst trade but I would pay for the bit longer time frame for my options to play out(im not all that good on timing, if I buycalls you know it will drop LOL so anything I buy just wait a few days to follow on the drop , and make more money LOL . So i'm sure that will work on puts too?(I don't play much on put just for the heads up on that) JMO
Flip
Also playing options on DHI june 21 the 24.00 calls bought yesterday at .20 and might buy more IF I can for around the same price. also looking at the Aug 24.00 calls around or under .70

JCP puts:
I see 9.00 as the support and that is also the 200 day MA
that is what I see it running back to in the next week or two? JMO
And why I feel there is some money to be made on june 6th and june 13 9.50 puts. but IF it runs down I would take the $ ASAP ALWAYS HAVE TO FIGHT THE DECAY?
Flip
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=JCP&p=D&yr=0&mn=9&dy=0&id=p63500298038&a=351382266
MWM I can see JCP Puts sometime today
Maybe june 6 9.5 for .40 or june 13 9.50 puts for like .50?
the way I play options I need as much time as I can risk(it just seems to work out better for me) I see 1.00 to be made on either. JMO
Flip
Gapper S
Sold my May options late yesterday(Sweet) and bought some 9.00 Junes this AM looking to buy some more.
Like Crammer says "some people know more then others" I think That is why the BIG option call buying?Maybe S will run yet today ? volume is low this AM and it might run up later in the day for the shorts that don't want to hold over the week end. I feel this is getting the mo mo to get done?
Flip
S, I did get my 150 contracts of may 8.00 and 150 of 9.00 calls
much cheaper then I thought. click back
Looks like they pay off tomorrow or next few days
someone is going to make millions with 650,000 Call contracts out between 7.00, 8.00 ,9.00 , 10.00 and 11.00's
Maybe they had a heads up?
Flip
ICo, your ARII chart looks HOT
Flip
Tanker COP, earnings in AM, charts look toppy to me JMO
Flip
Gapper MSI, earnings before market tomorrow
AAPL going to 75.00 to 80.00 LOL 7/1
FB good CC now we are moving around 65.00
good numbers , should get a few up grades tonight or in AM
it took me a while to talk myself into buying a few option calls (only 30 contracts but that is still over $10,350 at 3.45 May 62.50's)
Flip
Facebook reported its Q1 2014 earnings:
•Revenues: up 72% to $2.5 billion (analysts expected $2.36 billion) that's a huge beat.
•Earnings per share: $0.34 (analysts expected $0.24) that's a huge beat.
•MAUs 1.28 billion
•CFO David Ebersman will step down.
The stock went up more than 3% on the news after hours.
FB's numbers sound OK beat street by .10 and rev. etc. will have to see what they say in CC, and ? on CFO stepping down.
But looks like the 30 contracts May17 62.50 will be OK
correction FB may 62.50 may17 calls
thinking talked me into buying 10 contracts of FB in three accounts. 42.50 may17's
Flip
ICO, I did pick FB as tomorrow's Gapper but not putting real money on it ahead of earnings(at 3.50+ for 42.50 may17 calls). a long story, I have played it three times ahead of earnings with Options for two wins and one wash out, most of the time I would play 100 calls and 50 puts. BUT the time it popped back in Aug. guess what, I got busy and just got back in time to miss getting the order in! I'm still pissed at that one, it cost me over 150,000 on a 2 min miss on that order(I think back then the Option calls were like .15? or 1500.00). SO FB has a bad taste for me yet LOL should have could have? I think it has messed up my mind still. Kind of like looking at SODA charts and checking options, then got called away for a few min. this morning before the news I got just to see it POPl. I think I oosted last week I was looking at the charts after a pullback to buy May Options LOL
Flip
MWM, I get the same feeling looking over daily charts.
it feels like the OBV is lagging and I just feel like the market if feeding the bag holders on this run up? I see it moving up but don't trust it either.
Flip
Gapper FB I still like the charts. ahead of earnings, but they are on the edge and could tip either way?

S 50 more contracts @.39 May 17 calls 9.00
and picked up 50 contracts of 8.00 at .88
short term charts look like they will pull back some more before getting in oversold, but I wanted a core to worl off.
I would like 150 more may 17 call contracts on the 8.00 maybe around .80? or so. I'm only tagging along on the 520,000 (someone has a lot of $ to gamble? Note a lot of these contracts have been bought like 25% + MORE THEN THEY ARE SELLING FOR NOW!)contracts they have been buying for may 17 Calls between 7.00 to 11.00
Flip
S I did buy May Options this AM, only 50 contracts 9.00 for .45
this move is on low volm but it is triggering the chart. ALSO look at the call volm on 8.00,9.00, and 10.00 for may.

One more ;SD I sold my April calls yesterday (in AM) so missed most of this pop LOL) I Was going to buy The May Options/csals 6.00 and 7.00 yesterday afternoon or this AM, but then Crammer got all over it last night and it pops. but still a 75% chance I buy may17 Option calls
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SD&p=D&yr=0&mn=8&dy=15&id=p31103765781&a=345065060
Stock on my may buy list for options,
S (85 to 90% chance of buying) look at the may 17 9.00 calls! 9.00's,10.00 and 11.00's over 360,000 contracts on the Call side.
others are FB, TWTR, UNG(but it kind of took off on me today) Iff AA bottoms out on a pullback, and same on POT,SODA and also looking at HZNP ,Maybe SUNE ? or FIO too? these are just a few on my kit list
Flip
Carts, If only I could/would trust them LOL
With this bipolar market I have been leave a LOT on the table.
like I posted I liked the charts of AA before the earnings buy with the market I shook me out to sell 3/4 of my April 17 Options and then I bought a few Mays and sold them to soon(the charts on 60 day was way in oversold was why I got out, but they took one more double hump up yesterday and today) Maybe I'm over thinking things. those three trades cost me around $20,000 by getting out to soon and is is starting to piss me off LOL. seems when I hold up to the friday of option X I sweat it all day and have to sell, then the stock run right after! this time I get out and it keeps running. guess that is the market?
Now I have to find the rough dimonds to play for my May Options.
See if I can mess them up as well? I'll post what I'm looking at.my rules say buy options on fridays and or monday(and also say do not buy on mid week tues or wed.
note: I have made money on the one I sold but watch then double and tripple if only I would hold. I guess I have to find MY middle brain? half way between over thinking and too fast and impulsive?
Hope everyone has a good bunny day.
Flip
Charst through My Ischemic eye,
A lot of charts on on the edge of coming out of oversold. I might be buying May 17 Options on a few of them? today they look like buys or close ,but this short week and tomorrow OptionX should give us the pullback to buy? JMO
I'm looking at TWTR,FB ,S Maybe POT again. also if AA has a pullback too. Note: I sold the remainder 75C April 12.00 contracts today for 1.30(fron like .41). and had bought 25C May 12.00 bought for low .91(last friday I had an order for 100C but got greedy and the rest didn't fill)sold gat 1.40 today, so would like to wash and rinse again tomorrow LOL
I had SODA on my list to buy too but it took off on me.

Hi aquaspin,
I have been watching FB, JMO I don't see a short/ put play here. maybe if it is this Fridays X for a couple dollar pullback? but to my eye I would say all charts are saying it is close to breaking UP again( it needs to confirm on MY triggers but they look close maybe the first part of next week?). Maybe someone has some fundamentals that might back up falling back?
