The Piker Trading Journal, Gains-Losses.

"I expect AAPL to make another try to break $400."

Yer mincing words now. An expectation is an opinion. I hope you are right in your opinion.

Jesus, man.

I am down 280 ticks on a position in the MYM. I hope your opinion is correct, so AAPL will help bring back up the DOW, a.k.a., in futures circles, the YM, or in my piker case, the MYM. Claro?

 

You are being quite careless with words. You take the conclusion from a conditional statement, exclude the hypothesis, and impute the conclusion as an opinion.

You are quite an unpleasant character with which to deal. We had this same problem with you in another thread where someone asked about the cost basis of the emini and you insisted he had asked about the cost of carry. You should should think more and talk less.

 

You don't need big bucks to make a decent trade with these silly stocks.

 

UPS $145 paid $1.1, sold at $2.7, gain for day with TAOP, AMD $76 Calls paid $2.50, sold $3.70.

 

I've been getting to the desk early these days as there is enough liquidity early pre-market to generate very technical price action and to take size. Long KNDI premarket and out before the bell. EDSA long pre-market and closed on the reopen after the first halt. Spent the rest of the day trading QCOM, FANG, SPY.

 

Market holds it together? check

AAPL makes another try at $400? check

No predicting, just the probability of one thing happening if another happens concurrently.

 

Sorry, just woke up after being up three days straight. I use to trade decent size before my health hit the dumpster years ago. The stocks don't trade like they use to years ago because of the ALGOs and HFTS that pull the bids so quick. You have great skills analyzing the Market and stocks I wish I had. One day we got to have a Thread where if the Big Elite Traders don't mind telling War Stories of size if its not too personal.

 

Apple Calls, worked out good but my trigger finger was too quick.

 

Done, Apple was amazing not posting my bigger accounts, was a fantastic blowout day.

 

Another Piker gain, holding on to big gains(for me, relative to me) in my swing trade account. I think Master Dest would approve of how I scaled into Apple's leaps and rolling over some Calls while getting near a 1.00 Delta I've been lugging around. Nobody knows Options like Master Dest, wish he was still around to advise me because I really don't know much compared to him!
