Averaging down price... now that's a sign of a great trader. What if it hits 100+ first before having a key reversal. what possible basis is there for averaging the short unless there is some articulable reason. What is that reason?? Are you doing it on fundamentals???! lol why didn't you...

why is that weird?!! because you didn't expect it or it doesn't comply with your dogmatic approach to being right all the time! It makes perfect sense to me.

Why is your post so short. Next time write a novel simply to ask a few basic questions a lot of which can be answered by actually putting out some time and effort on your part to study and learn, and then asking about those concepts that you need some further input about!! But then why do that...

Listen bro, if you were in Chicago I'd say let's get a drink and commisurate I exited a FOUR LOT of AAPL 405p (bought @2.86) and 395p yesterday (bought at 63 cents!) Today they went up at least 8500 - I took it off the screen because I was ready to put my head through the wall. LOL. Sure I...

what price did you short them at i am showing 103/116 seems like a crappy r/r to make a few $

i agree with some of his points... I have heard many times from many others - "why trade options and complicate things if you can be reasonably good with directional trading". I also see options as being appropriate for stocks like AAPL GOOG, AMZN etc. etc. so you do not have to commit as...

Why on earth would you close at the point shown on your chart. What happened to patience? There were lower lows that continued fairly consistently for multiple bars to 2306-2310, when we saw a reversal pattern.Further as you noted the double top did not actually become a "double top" until the...

If you admit to yourself that you truly don’t have the will to win at this game, don’t try to trade. It is too easy to lose too much money. Many people think that they’ll enjoy trading when they really don’t. It’s boring at times, lonely during the day, mentally trying, with little...

5 trades and you lost 2.50 points!! I made 2 trades against the trend, just for fun in the last 15 minutes... and made +7 points. I don't even trade futures that often ( I trade options); but seems fairly easy to turn a profit. do you not know how to read a chart ?? Is your size too...

I typically use the 6.725 hour chart

2013?? yes

to OP bought AAPL Nov18 395c and sold for profit in one hour... may re-enter. Do you know why the ITM calls went higher albeit <30 to expiry??

now i understand! mea culpa lol

in all seriousness, bro... do you like sounding like a fool... or do you need the attention. Even a fricking broken clock is right. Markets go up and down - - - all the time. How does that get your rocks off by calling for an incessant downside in the face of the largest 4-5 week move...

Mod: can you change title to "gap openings - exiting long options" and move to 'Options' forum Thanks!!

Wondering if any position or swing trader (option trader) has some input on trading opening gaps. +AAPL Nov11 400c at 2.90 Gap opening. I figure it will sell-off, so take profits in first 2 minutes, leaving 2++ points on the table. One of my rules is: exit within 15% of what I believe...

Agree - well said A very good friend was a MM on CBOE; left cold Chicago, moved to AZ and kept trading ES, options etc. successfully. When I first started, I would be very relaxed (almost cavalier) and say or do some of the absurd things I now read on ET.com. I would go to sleep with so...

how can anyone you use the word "guarantee" with anything remotely having to do with trading? I guess like everything else, people want it all to be so easy; no effort, no stress, no anxiety, no sacrifices, no work. No wonder Europe and USA are in such bad shape. no wonder people blow up and...

did you not notice... or were you not looking - last month the indexes had some of the largest moves higher in how many decades??!!! You gotta figure in these economic times it would be followed by choppy markets or even downside.

The OP "wavel" put the following on another thread in March 2010 (see below). So, here we have a guy who 18 months later asks a total dufus uninformed options Q - yet he is pretentious enough or so misguided back in March 2010 as to think he can post anything meaningful about how to trade...
