I just wanted to mention to everyone who has viewed this journal that it is not just for the seasoned trader. It doesn't matter what your experience level is. If you have a call that you'd like to make please consider posting it here. As you have seen so far, no one is going to challenge you or...

empee thanks for the post. Simple is best, imo. I quoted the above because it gave me such a good laugh. Here you are cruising with some nice profits and oooops they catch osama! That was funny. Vhehn thanks for the oil update.

Closed the trade half at .71 and half at .74. I just realized the t/s is running about 4-5 minutes behind the computer clock. I can't trade blind.

Short YHOO @ 34.94 Target 33.50 today Exit 35.06 Edit: rethinking profit target b/c the daily and weekly 20sma's are at ~34.30. My initial profit target was based on this bar hanging from the hourly 40sma looking to drop to the 200sma - if I may personify a candlestick. :)

Hey empee good to see you here. I've seen some of your other stuff and you have a lot to offer. If you have the time and don't mind.... which index or indices are you short, and what price will a rally tell you you're wrong? Also, do you have a target in mind for the move you are expecting...

There are plenty of swing traders here, they just don't post much. ET has many many readers compared to the number of active participants. I guarantee your ideas - winners or losers - will be of benefit to a substantial number of members.

That's worked out well, selecto. Nice job. AH is in your favor as you suggested.

'bird I sent you PM answering your post.

You got it Magna. Lean and mean. Short JCP May 50.00 @ 1.10 just a minute ago to make the previous batch equal size to the others.

Short JCP May 45.00 @ 2.80 from yesterday with price improvement... lucky me. Today: Short JCP May 47.50 @ 1.70 Short JCP May 50.00 @ .75 Nice call so far 'bird.

15 min opening range for YHOO is ~30% of the 14day ATR. Truthfully I prefer ADR to ATR but overall I don't see a big diff between the two.

Excellent points. In essence, I'm shorting the stock here, but with room to be wrong without having to make an exit decision right away. This strike gives me more premium wiggle room than deeper ITM calls yet with a greater profit-potential than the OTM calls if I'm right.

We'll know in the next day or so. :) And of course it doesn't really matter 'bird because the beauty of this forum is that it isn't about being right or wrong. It's just about posting a trade. You don't even have to post a follow-up. So just to clarify, are you saying you're long the SPX...

I'll play here... Short JCP May 45 Calls at 2.75. The underlying sold off from the high at the 40sma today again. I'll make it a covered call at b/e.

Nice work.

I know that's a genuine statment Av'. I used to wonder why we needed a new thread for every hiccup anyway. Hopefully this becomes the depository for all of those intraday and longer thoughts.

You are absolutely right Samson'. Trading comes first. This journal is not about questioning anyone's integrity nor is it about challenging anyone in any way. Any trade posted after the fact will be received as if it had been posted prior to its occurrence. As I said in the...

The purpose of the Market Calls journal is for traders to post their market calls as it pertains to individual trades. Whether it is an entry you are anticipating or have recently made, please feel free to post it here. A very brief statement about the method used to select your entry/exit is...

Lol, that's pretty funny. Samson77, I think it would be a great benefit to ET. Actually, as I understand it ET was originally based on that concept. Presently I think the chat room accomodates this goal for live trades, but a thread based on live trades that could be reviewed later seems...
