The long worked again today. On my trimmed long from yesterday I added another 1.9% in the mutual funds which I’m still holding and the ETF’s of UWM and QLD were sold this morning for a variety of gains ranging from 4.5% to 7%. Loving this long trade, but what little exposure I have left [...]

Getting that upwards action I’ve been talking about for the last two weeks. Breaks of 720 in the RUT, breaks of 1400 SPX, DOW 13000 now. I’m long the indexes NDX and RUT and today is a big day or both and looks like there might be more up heading into the close. I may [...]

Worked:
Getting out of XLF calls options early this morning @ .30 with a 7% gain. I trimmed the XLF calls yesterday with a 35% gain. It was a good move because these calls flipped and closed down 13% from my buy point. They would be down even more tomorrow with C selling more stock for [...]

Market not acting the way I expected. Sold the DIA calls very minor gain.

Being long. Man did that suck to be long the indexes to day.
I held long in anticipation of a bounce.
As a 1 day trade I bought DIA 133 calls @ 1.1o. They are already asking 1.23. Like I said this is only a bounce trade and won’t be held long.
I also owned BPHX overnight from [...]

Being long. The indexes added a little more upside today. I’m 100% long in the indexes going into the Fed meeting.
CRDC - The big hit today. Finished up 27% from the original buy in one account and up 15% from this morning’s buy. Very nice.
FMT - This little spiker is up
NYX, MTW, and DAR all [...]

Bought ZOLT January 45 calls. I was looking to do a bull spread, but just went naked.

ATVI - Nice move today that rocked the options into profitville. I’m still waiting to hear if the options will be repriced with a better close, because I definitely got the shaft. However, the selling of the calls in the morning was a great move regardless because 85% gain in a dead position is better [...]

I was slow on the trigger, or I should say my wife was using the laptop and I there was a “delay” with my sell order….
Hence less gain on the trade. I’m still happy with 85% gain though. The trade was worth a little more than 100%+ though by being early rather than late.
*I put [...]

SPLS - Sold the options for 50% gain– less commish around 39-40%. The same options have jumped about 600% off the bottom though in 4-5 days.
UA - Under Armour is finding home at these levels. I have it on a buy. Up 3% today, down over 20% though in the trade.
RUT - The gain I [...]

Took a 50% gain in the SPLS call options I bought on Nov 5 for .20. I got out today at .30. Really ends up being around 40% minus commish.

I jumped the gun this morning. I saw weakness in my systems, but the 15minute bars never closed weak. I was waiting for at least one to two bars followed by a green bar. The RUT just did this pattern. So what I did was buy 1 Nov 770 call for $7.8 whi lthe R2K [...]

I talked about it yesterday that I was going to buy weakness this morning. If we opened weak and I started to see signs of “oversoldness” I would attempt to buy that.
Bought some November IWM 79 calls. They have 1 day to till expiration. I just like the R2R ratio on this.
I’m fading the gap [...]
