Well, I closed out yesterday the aapl, as two verticles, since I thought I would keep part of spread as a verticle and also closed out the /cl in parts since it was going against me as price was rising to 89. Still long 1 /cl 92.5 call. lost >3000 on the cl tAndroid BOT +1 3/4 BACKRATIO /CLF3...

Thanks - atticus /cd appreciate the input. That makes sense on the spread. I've got some things to work on.

I appreciate your input - what would you have gone with? embarrassed to say I am experimenting and maybe should have been more planned. I use the tos platform and it defaulted in $5 incremements, so I went larger than that.

I've been somewhat following here, don't understand all the options speak...I had opened aapl fly friday before the fiscal cliff news came out when price was heading for $500. anyways, just wanted to post some trades, aapl Dec fly 520/530/540. I also have aapl Dec calendar $600. Aapl 675 expired...

I appreciate your input. I'm just checking things out. I've had an interest in 'trading for a living' for a long time and have just never been able to 'get into it'. I'm 50, have a day job, other income also, but am limited by my account size also. I know there are a lot of variables here. I...

Hi Don, I'm signed up to attend the upcoming Oct workshop. Looking forward to learning more about prop trading. Dave

Closed June aapl 590s @ 3.40

Today: sold 3 aapl 600 @ 4.15 bought 30 Fb july 38 @ .34 and 7 july 40 @ .20

May activity...I would have been blown out, but sold goog may calls the thursday before the FB ipo which were up...bought aapl June 590 & 600. I think my mistake in the May aapl 625 was not looking realistically at what was happening in the market, selling and profit taking and failing to get...

Well, I've been pretty frustrated the way my aapl 625 may calls have panned out. I was buying near the top when everyone else was selling.

Nasdaq on the monthly

Thanks for the reminder about Facebook IPO - I think that we may see a total pump in nasdaq before selloff. decent earnings also. note: I'm holding aapl 625 May calls I got trounced in this last week. Uncle Ho had the put call so nailed. I should have listened...

Added today: Intc May 29 calls @ .50 Msft May 30 calls @ 1.77

I was basing the long going into earning and also the hype and momentum surrounding aapl on this run. I was figuring on a break with the rest of the market in may selling. I do think the break down that started last week, I didn't think there would be more selling today obviously. I think aapl...

Thanks Jeff, I guess I should have expected a down day like this with no put protection, I got trounced. Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Looking in terms of % does make sense. I think I was overconfident on market direction, a recipe for disaster. Dave rockn, "Those are frightening...

I was looking at the 60 min when I wrote this. I think valuation its ridiculas, but just from what I'm reading about funds positioning into aapl before end of quarter and and the momentum in the market right now, election year,ect. I think may/june market sell off makes more sense. Also, all of...

I think we'll see $700 before any sell off
