Short taken at 120. 125.25 stop. 110 target.

AMZN looking attractive for a short.

Maybe keep a journal (just something simple in notepad) of your thoughts before and after a trade. What did you like about the trade, and what got you in before you took it?.. and it couldnt hurt to take a screen shot of the trade to give yourself that visual aid. Go back at the end of each...

Moving stop .05 above break even.

Closed out the trade I had on FSLR + 538.80. Nice. I didnt mean to sell all my shares at 132, I wanted to sell only 1/2 and let the rest ride, with my stop at my breakeven point, but oh well.

pick up any today?

I had a feeling ACF was going to do well this week, but I dont need anymore long positions, but wow nice move today.

Missed the trade on BHI. It closed +.68 way off its lows.

^ agree

Well its 230. 30 mins till close, and the PnL aint lookin too bad today. Other than holding two trades underwater by 900 each, id say I'm doing ok. :)

In the early days of when I was trading, and using my many indicators, I had it so deeply ingrained in my head that when the stochastic indicator was in the 20's or below, the market HAD to bounce..almost like it was some rule. ALL the GD books showed these perfect text book examples of how a...

Lol, yeah. Also make sure you buy low and sell high, or buy high and sell higher :) ......................I dont think that's really helping him do you fishing?

In essence, the higher the delta, the less liquid the option contract? If this is the case, why is that?...wouldn't traders want an option that follows the underlying as close as possible? Why buy an option that has a delta of only .10?..whats the point in just making 10% of the stocks price...

You are guarenteed to fail in everything if you NEVER try. If there was a dream I wanted to follow, had the chance to and never did, living with that regret would be worse than failure.

Stop bragging about Lescor! :p --- I'd like to add that Trading ISN'T just some J.O.B . Even if you grind out just enough to pay your bills and be happy, with your life and occupation, then whats the issue? Unfortunatly many dont see it the way I do, and are only in this for the dollar...

This could be solved by use of limit orders I'd imagin?

To the people who read this thread. I'm going to experiment with trading DITM's (deep in the money) options. I'll be able to buy into my positions at a fraction of the price, and still get most of the advantages I'm looking for. The BHI trade i talked about might be taken on some OCT 75 puts...

I thought the title of this thread was appropriate for my post, even though its not really related to the OP's. I hope he doesn't mind :) My first question is 1) For most of you guys trade options regularly do use strategies that are mostly directional, or market neutral ? and 2) If you say...

JPM also a nice setup for a short if we can hold this line, give or take a few ticks.

Price inching back up.
