look up trailing stop.

Once I got into the short straddle I am at my top limit for risk/reward. So I won't trade anything else until I either unwind. a position or find a trade I can't resist, meaning I have an 85% chance to profit at a better risk profile then what I normally enter. my holding now contain a short...

which stock and which broker? ITM or OTM? I might take the other side of your trade..:)

I am not getting filled on any of ITMN orders today. My ask is %5-10% below theo price too, I wont sell at the bid though. I hate to put all my eggs in one basket but I did get filled on a short STRADDLE(17.5) in GTXI, I am certain the vols will go down with no pending news on trials, there...

Well not a bad day got 1 out of 2 trade filled, could have been better with both but you dont always get what you want. The GTXI strangle is already making money. I'll try to get a fill on ITMN again tomorrow. I am actively looking for more option trading opportunities. I have a play on PDLI at...

short strangle May 08 on GTXI 15/20@2.50 This is a high potential profitable play for me, charts shows a price range. All available news are out. can easily get in and out or modify position as needed. I have an order working on ITMN too. will post update if it gets thru. time for more...

Didn't find any trade today but there are several candidates I am looking at. PDLI and ACAD is at the top of the list.

C put is close out too. both trade so far have meet or exceeded my goal for them. PGNX is still going strong the stock gone up to 11.74. the puts would have netted me an extra $500 but who's counting. C is still going strong to the plus side also. Well I am gonna take a long lunch here in the...

Ok I am out of PGNX. I maintain my C puts which is also doing good. I could have let PGNX ride a few more days but I hit my goal for this trade no point of risking needlessly. Right now I am looking at POZN, CVTX, ACAD, DNDN, ADLR. and some others on my fav list.

crazy gap up on PGNX this morning as i write this, it's at 9.74 my puts is at +1000. My plan is to dump the puts when the stock price is over 9+ but I'll let it run till noon.:D

assuming a trader that trades for a prop that pays a good rebate. I would assume a high volume trader who is flat month to month, even year over year could make a decent living? am I wrong in this assumption? just a random thought.

Please plot those entry and exit point in the chart. I am not sure why your lost is way bigger then your gain.

sell 5 put 25@1.44 stock took a dip to 24.50... I am in!

The Hump day is always good when you're working and look forward to the weekend. Its just another day in the market though. I adjusted my position today sold back the 7.5 puts and cover my downside risk with a sell short order of 1000 share if the price go below 7.5 and a trail stop of .50 just...

What a day What a day!!! miss out on a big move on PGNX while I was watching "Little Einstien" with my boy. But I did enter my option position right after. sell 10 put 10@3.10 buy 5 put 7@1.60 4/3 reward risk profile. if everything goes wrong the stock will trade at cash level or 5 per...

that would be a nice div play!!!!

good old Monday, well my ToS account is now funded with 8K. My original intent was 10K but I put the other 2K in my 6 months old son 529 account instead. To me 8K and 10K isnt much of a difference but when he's 18yo that would definately make his day if his pappa made the right investment in...

since you seem like a swing trader or investor, why dont you hedge your profolio instead of trying to actively trade. You lock up alot of your capital in single stocks. Use option to make extra income or hedge against a down turn. You dont need to sell the stocks you're holding even if it takes...

forgive me for I digress. Oh susana Oh dont you cry for me I am going to tradin' with a volatile smile on my face. :D

hey JB3 welcome to my brain take a sit and relax. Let anwer a few of your questions. I use both directional bias and high vol to get into a ratio backspread position. Without these two component you will be a big loser because if you look at the graph for a call ratio backspread, you will...
