My option trades

  1. Buy 1 (1.90) filled yesterday and I am waiting for a Buy 2 (1.60)
    fill today.
    So far today the low on the Mar 36 calls today has been 1.64 and now unfortunately its rebounding before dropping to 1.60.
    There's a lot more dollar profit in these trades if both buys (B1 & B2) fill before rebounding.

  2. Jumped into those Deck mar 92.5 calls. The other interesting trade today would be CRM....that one's a real mover everytime, I think spreads would serve best though.

  3. Functionally not an issue which you choose. The difference between the two is the box-arbitrage. Maybe a penny or two worse due to it being deep ITM. I don't see the stock approaching $16.

  6. High Vol note on PCLN

    High Implied vol going into earnings next week.

    Have been verticle-ing this baby for the past week and a half. Sold a 595/560 weekly vertical that expires today with heavy theta decay.

    Very speculative. But I've netted more than $2000 on this over the past week and a half.

    For me, thats a ton of money lol...

    :D

  8. Well I closed both qqq and CIXG on Thursday. Just got tired of it. Today friday, would have made money. Thursday I lost about -$280.

    Today late, Friday I am back in IYT and QQQ Puts for a next week exit I hope.

    Had to practice money management as I took a loss THURSDAY and dropped back from ten contracts to one contract.

    See how it goes this coming week.

  10. If you're long contracts and haven't made much money but your original hypothesis might still hold

    AND

    your capital isn't tied up

    AND

    you don't have other trades you think you want to make, disregard the "tiredness". Stick to it.

    I've held some calls for the past two weeks- keeps moving back and forth so the volatility and a little bit of gain is keeping me alive but other than that its just frustration which "might" burst into a big move.
