Market Calls

Discussion in 'Journals' started by inandlong, Apr 24, 2005.

  1. going to be gone tomorrow so i am booking this trade now. these are expiring worthless unless we drop 400 points tomorrow. 100% gain. maybe i should send out a newsletter bragging about a 100% gain in a week and sign up a bunch of subscribers. lol.
    seriously, even though it was a good trade it was the wrong trade. i made .65 cents average but had i bought calls instead or even took the stock long i would have done much better.

  2. to take full advantage of yesterday's market action you actually had to know what was happening as it happened. preconceived notions are meaningless when a freight train is heading your way. i did 10% R.O.C yesterday and don't expect to be handed the type of A/D or TRIN that we had yesterday anytime soon. it's time to solidify vacation plans. imo


    samson covered VLO near the bottom and it's up over $7 points ... again, positioning ... pretty obvious who has it ...
    (this is one trade out of a total game plan but, it gives an accurate picture)

    good trading.

    Hi,

    X still looks shortable, with 36 as conservative and 33 as agressive targets. But stops need to be set in correct ratio .
