Stupid mistake, looked at the clock at 11:50 PST thinking it was 12:50 PST selling my calls prematurely, double vision? OMG, how stupid!
Hope everything is alright and that trading isn't taking a toll on you. You've been posting some good results, so hopefully you can chill and still trade. Lighten up that size if you have too. And of course hope you don't have too many investments that got butchered in this market. Being on west coast time probably doesn't help either. At times I have to sleep first and trade when I can just to stay rested, as I have trouble sleeping sometimes. West coast time would make it even harder for me. Hang tough. It could be it is taking too much time for you to count all your money.
Thank you, that was kind! Trading lighter has increased The biggest clue my brain was malfunctioning today was asking myself “How come option trades are printing and OPRA quotes keep moving after hours”? Would have held the contracts to the Close because traders were sweeping the book, 20,000 $155Cs expiring Friday. I missed 8 calls still in my account, selling 1.90-2 gtc, it’s weird 8s look like 0, still positions should vanish after selling. I appreciate your kindness!
Bought 800 SUnshine at $8.20, walked away at 11:30, sold now at $12.00. Lost $680 on HOWL Pharma, horrible trade with a wide spread. I was the bag holder buying calls $7.5 at $.60, sold .25. Made $400 back on PFE $55s, paid .30 out .60, ABBV $175c, $.2-.3, sold half $.8-.90. Not a terrible day, new golden retriever is finding great ideas.
200 OXY $61 calls $.15-.25, out $.40s-$.55, they cleaned up a stupid trade I accidently entered. Up $1200 for the day,
I bought BOIL around $69 with a few at $68s during Friday's dump. Stuck in EVTL, no idea what they do, bought 40 calls $.4-$.50
Stupid error, had all contracts at $2.00, should have put them out at $1.80 because price collapsed. Out at $1.45-$1.80, a few at $1.90. Why am I bitching about making a 4x trade?
Blundered on NKE, was up $800 on the $134 call, let them take me to $-400. Bought some cheap ass MDVL $2.50s and common(1.90 ) out $2.54-$2.61. Cleaned up my loss, buying on MDVL feels intriguing.
I forgot I had few thousand in another account when it tanked, probably selling 4000 keeping 1000. Stock Cost Basis Bid Ask
