Help me out here; near what time did you exit the trade? If your exit was near real-time, QQQ didn't hit 280.60 until after-hours, and after your post. (It did hit that much earlier, but you're suppose to be making near-real-time calls, or they don't count.)
I'm going to go with this, for now, until we see if we can't get the issue cleared up, one way, or the other: Code: -------------------------------------------------- DIR. INST ENTRY EXIT RESULT SHORT AAPL 124.85 123.80 + SHORT CAT 169.10 168.13 + LONG SPY 342.58 343.50 + LONG BABA 310.00 307.40 - SHORT TWTR 49.95 48.65 + LONG QQQ 278.29
You are right. I closed it just after it went into ETH. Some options, like QQQ, trade 15 minutes after market close. I saw the ramp up and decided to hold onto the close. As we can see now, I should have held like my original plan... all trades will be ones of regret...
Ok. But even so, that doesn't explain where you got 280.60 from ... posted 2 mins. after the close? Regardless, we agree that your QQQ Long call is still in play?
Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on how the QQQ's play out, and your corrective exit call), you still haven't made a proper exit call ... which you agreed to do, or it wouldn't count. So, how say you? QQQ's still in play?
Looking at eth, just after close, the price did contain 280.60. If anything, I should be getting a higher price to close; I probably rounded down because I used options rather than a specific number on the underlying. I don't think it would be fair to count it as still held because we can see in hindsight that it worked out much better to hold. First after hours candle would be the candle that I selected in the image, which is just above 280.60 at lowest
11437.50 on Dow Transports coming up. If hit, I'll probably long /ES at that time, for an intraday trade. Let's see what happens.
