I use the max loss as my stop loss. One of the benefits of the static hedge is not getting shaken out, the long put is your protection. I have a feeling that your position is too large because you are not worried about losing $705, you are worried about losing multiples of $705. Your size has...

$1.06 eps compared to the prior $.86 is a blowout?

Legging out has unknown risks as the price can move sharply while you are trying to buy one and sell another. For example, the price moves to 375 and you decide to get out. You buy to cover your short put at 375 and the price starts to rise before you can sell the long put. You wait to see if...

Why even try? There are endless issues with adequate liquidity. How is having no liquidity an advantage?

Shouldn't the price action become sluggish when they add shares? The weight from the shares outstanding makes it less likely to jump around.

Did you shake out or still holding short?

Can you better describe 'went short'? You have no price level stop only time stop?

More than 50 of the Nasdaq 100 have made a new high or multiple new highs in the last 3 months

They can only teach you what works for them, not what works for you. You have to trade your own style. Figure out how you trade best. Takes time, practice & honesty.

Your best protection would be a strike near your basis. Buy enough Put Delta to match your long shares. If the 155 strike put has 50 delta, buy 4. If the stock price falls your basis will be protected. If it falls far enough your insurance will start to gain ground against the long shares...

AMD has a quarter of the shares outstanding that INTC has. Doesn't that make it easier to lift?

Find something that has a small amount of shares outstanding

Earnings from the Dow 30 and Nasdaq 100 have been lackluster the last two weeks. Even without guidance, I can see that companies are not performing well compared to their prior reports.

Not the Broker, OCC rules. You have to tell the broker not to exercise. Seems backwards to me too.

I bought 10 KHC 35 strike calls that expire 7/17/20. The price closed on Friday at 35.01 I thought that option holders had to express their desire to the broker that they would want to execute before the end of expiration day if they finished In The Money and any options not 'sold to close'...

One of their sisters ENPH just got crushed. I was thinking the price of the two would be drawn to each other. Seems as the money flowing out of ENPH is going right into SEDG. Who is SEDGs best competitor?

So the June contracts are trading very close to the spot price, but the Sept contracts are trading at a discount to the June. I'm noticing a lot of open interest in the front month that has only a few days to expiration and not much pouring into Sept & Dec. Do all those June contracts have to...

Time is arbitrary

I love how the bears pipe up after getting housed for 3 months straight. All the bull trap posts should be popping up everywhere, "I told you so" & etc. I was thinking about selling some OTM put spreads to all those scary mo fos. Nasdaq should go positive for the day at any moment.

Something I've been trying to avoid the "spike"... Not the holy grail or anything, but has been helping. Wait for the candle (whatever time frame you trade) to print beyond your stop level, not on the touch, close trade manually. Placing the stop right after you enter is like an invitation to...
