Taking the day off because of Veteran's Day here in the US. I may look to see how BA does, to keep up with the "story" but not much else planned.
WKHS 20 calls Entries: 0.30 Exits: 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 Time to scale: 33 mins TiT: 40 mins 32% NIO 50 calls Entries: 0.30, 0.26 Exits: 0.40, 0.35, 0.39, 0.35 Time to scale: 20 mins TiT: 45 mins 33% Stray thoughts: I don't typically like options like this WKHS because of the nickel spread garbage. I bought 0.30 at 0.25 x 0.30. When it moves up, it's only 0.30 x 0.35, so I really have to get an outsized move to get exit fills that I want. You try to sell 1 cent above the bid and still won't get filled. This NIO move overall was disappointing. Breaking ATHs, I expected a lot more upside momentum. But after seeing that small drop at 10:15am -- I took some more risk off, so I peeled a little at 0.35 and 0.39. Now I have a tiny runner to see if these can go for 0.60+, but I doubt it. I have a 3 cent trailing stop on this. Update: Yep, stopped out the last at 0.35. I have other things to attend to today so I'll leave it at that.
VIAC 30 calls Entries: 0.32 Exits: 0.50, 0.43 Time to scale: 1 min TiT: 4 mins 49% BA 182.5 calls Entries: 0.91 Exits: 1.09, 1.06 Time to scale: 14 mins TiT: 15 mins 18% ZM 400 puts Entries: 1.29, 1.10 Exits: 1.56, 1.35 Time to scale: 16 mins TiT: 18 mins 22% Stray thoughts: I completely whiffed on a NSC news scalp. I literally saw 237.50 calls at 0.25 x 0.30 or something and then within minutes it jumped into some weird spread all over the place, like 1.10 x 2.50. Even after the news digested, I see these at 0.40 x 0.65. I think I hesitated because I felt "lucky" off the VIAC news scalp, I'm not sure. Not a bad Friday. I'll call it early, looking forward to next week.
CCL 18 calls Entries: 0.40, 0.34 Exits: 0.49, 0.50, 0.52, 0.54, 0.67 Time to scale: 5 mins TiT; 1 hr, 3 mins 40%
BA 220 calls Entries: 4.30 Exits: 3.20 Time to scale: n/a TiT: 8 mins -25% Stray thoughts: I was looking for the bounce that never came. Let's see what comes up tomorrow. Completely whiffed on SDC - I was watching the 11 calls but never pulled the trigger.
TSLA 530 calls Entries: 4.30 Exits: 5.50 Time to scale: 40 mins TiT: 40 mins 28% SQ 195 calls Entries: 0.80 Exits: 0.89 Time to scale: 1 hr, 3 mins TiT: 1 hr, 3 mins 11% Stray thoughts: This SQ was garbage all day. I should've stuck with the "theme" of the day (TSLA, then NIO, BLNK, etc.).
MSFT 212.5 calls Entries: 1.75 Exits: 1.98, 1.80 Time to scale: 7 mins TiT: 13 mins 8% PLUG 26 calls Entries: 0.78, 0.61 Exits: 0.76, 0.78 Time to scale: 35 mins TiT: 37 mins 11% Stray thoughts: Not super clean today. Whiffed on AAPL 116 puts that I had queued up.
BA 222.5 calls Entries: 3.40, 2.74 Exits: 3.50, 4.00 Time to scale: 21 mins TiT: 25 mins 22% TLRY 8 calls Entries: 0.34 Exits: 0.51, 0.55, 0.59, 0.67 Time to scale: 3 mins TiT: 8 mins 66% Stray thoughts: I wasn't too pleased with my averaging down on that BA. My hard stop was down around ~2.20 (on the option) after the average down, so I was prepared to eat the loss, but that wasn't a great decision process-wise.
