I will continue to add to my short position as the market rises. Im sorry if that goes against your rules.
Don't worry, after you blow up you can always come back with a different alias claiming you were long from the bottom. Happens all the time.
Lucrum, The reason for your lack of profitability and giving up on trading is because of your ignorance and faulty thinking. You believe that a person has to be "all in" on a trade or that a trade must be instantly profitable for it to be good. You believe a trader must get in at the exact turning point or else they have failed. Isnt it obvious why you are not profitable as a trade? Isnt it obvious why you linger around this board every second of the day? Before you tell me how I am going to blow up, why dont you look in the mirror first. Your philosophy on trading and on life is obviously and truely flawed...and please do not lump me in with the rest of the riff-raff on this website who also have this flawed thinking like you... My belief about this message board is that its one of those "Loser Lounges" like you have at any respectable golf course and you are there seated along with the rest of them.
Did it again overnight long Oct14 410 calls at 2.18; sold at 7.10 rolled immediately into Oct21 420 calls @9 sold for another 1.40; both not far from highs so far today. Now : +Oct21 425c -Oct21 435c +Oct21 415p - Oct21 405p gonna try to finesse profits from both or change spreads accordingly think APPL "likely" will sell off a EOD given the gap--- then 'pop' again on Monday in front of earnings. We shall see
