selling more at 8 +

 

figures

had order to buy 10 more Feb 60c @ .90

but NOOOOooo - only went to 1/1.10

gotta be careful on this sucker - that it doesn't pin back to $55

 

not one fking off-floor trader wanted to buy my SOX 510 puts @ 8

this has to be a signal of a top

 

sold remaining SOX 510 puts (little too soon) @ 8.50

(cant follow so many open positions - so I took the easy profit at the open and looked to re-enter but Sox gained no traction)

I have short calls in regular accounts so those are still being held

also still long mnx NP (180 puts on MNX) in IRA - may scratch them today and wait for re-entry or roll into 185 puts


sold 8
bought 6.05

X 7 = $1365


trading SOX all year - so will post many more SOX trades with more size. I am gonna hammer the SOX this year (long and short)

will be starting an IRA trading Journal after January 20th with a goal of 150-175% this year (>smallest of the retirement accounts) .

Of course it will depend on how active the market remains

 

APOL

+ 10 APOL Feb 60c @ 1.25
- 2 APOL Feb 55c @ 4.10

looking to add APOL Feb 60c on any move <56.5

but I'm giving APOL 4 more days - then gonna scratch position and look to re-enter
