  2. STC 20 Contracts of QQQ March 18 2016 104 Call @ $1.92

    I will not be available to monitor the trade, so I bailed. The index may continue the uptrend tomorrow, but will likely trade lower than today's close; that will be the right time to buy Call Options.

    I will try more index trades this week...

  3. I won't recommend Put Options yet.

    The weekly chart favors uptrend, though the market may drop a little lower than last week's high, so I think it is dangerous to short QQQ. But then, my prognosis could be wrong.

    Please follow your trading rules.


    Thanks for posting!

  4. I guess the current gap needs to be filled first before any further moving!

  6. Five trades; no loss yet! Account value is $5,248.04. Will check the account for profit/loss return later.

    Nothing much yet! Still experimenting with index options.

    There are two advantages in trading index options, which are small bid/ask spread and not having to search for trades. Apart from that, I prefer stock options.

  7. Whoa!

    What a steady climb up!

    Thought the uptrend was going to be brief, but then I watched as the trend climbed up steadily.

    Oddtrader, how did you fare in the market?

  8. Perhaps you should have bought some long calls for the whole day!
