    Biogen halted, options expiring today.

    Sometimes the risk isn't always that clear. Especially not for beginners that trade spreads. They think the value of the spread is the risk, but obviously there's more than that. A few months after I started trading I lost $15k because I traded 50 calendar spreads, for a total debit of $500...

    Biogen halted, options expiring today.

    What's the reason it got halted the whole day? Looking at their chart I see the reason for a halt, but not perse why it's for the whole trading day and especially not on expiration day. Some people go bankrupt on this... of course, not the pro's, but the less experienced traders. IV and...

    There's just not sufficient liquidity. Slippage is huge. They're pumping it hard, trying to trigger stops. One stop is firing of the other. It is pump & dump and definitely not an orderly market. In my view they better close NQ and open it during market hours only. It's behaving like a penny...

    They are running stops both ways at the moment in NQ. Past half hour had several 25 point moves in seconds time. Tried to short it a couple of times, but impossible. Out for now. No point in giving away the profits for the day.

    Go DOWN Already. What the is going on here?! Nothing discounted?

    Eventually a number of these companies will catch up in the EV market and increase competition for TSLA. When future regulations start to significantly drive down sales for these companies in their current market segments, they will have to invest more in EV's. Some will succeed, some will not...

    Amazing Short Straddle Opportunity right now

    Everybody who held shares a few days ago was up about 3000%. Who would not sell at those levels? A dump was the only possibility.

    Fully agree with you rational. To add: when a stocks is at ATM, and we have many of those at the moment, there's nobody "trapped" in that stock (other than the short sellers), but longs have no reason to sell other than to take occasional profit. They're all waiting until it pops and then the...

    I am leaving InteractiveBrokers after 6 months due bad experiences

    I can relate to this. I also just decided to leave them. Their extremely poor customer service did it for me. In February they auto-liquidated almost my whole account because one of my put credit spreads got in the money on expiration day. I described my case earlier in this post. Although the...

    I'm European so for me that was from 8 AM to 10 AM in the morning. Perfect. I missed that nice dip on Tuesday's overnight session as that was during my bed time, but greatful the opportunity presented itself again. Loading up the truck at 3010 level and unloading only 15-30 minutes later for a...

    After such a big move overnight, I decided to play for the bounce, which didn't come. I never expected it to drop nearly 200 points, so especially later in the day, I was therefore not comfortable going short, even though it was the trend. Below a 2min chart with my trades. They were certainly...

    Totally surprised by today. Obviously not that we're going down, as it was long overdue, but because it basically went in a straight line without even a decent bounce. And that on no news. Days in a row even the slightest dip was bought and then this. Ended up buying all the "dips" inside the...
