bought some puts in TLT (128,125,123) recently. I have two reasons. fundementally if the stock market crashed, the interest rate gets to rise, so the bond price get to fall. if the economy is not bad as illisioned, actually building strength, the stock market rallies further, the so low rate...

I think better to trade it directly if you are not sure about the move. like wait till the earning moment, then short it or long it. I was dealing with LEAP, I bought some puts 5 &4, but this thing seems up/down to make me confused, when it dip to 5+ (new low), I started to buy $5 put, but...

will drop more, i suspect FB will be single digit pretty soon. when it is green, buy some puts, when it droped to new low, sell your puts. then wait for green days, buy some puts again... I follow FB recently, it works like magic. I played Rimm too, all the same.

if a bounced off a low of X price, it is a bottom if b dropped off a high of y price, it is a top ........................................... or just think those so far lows or highs as bottoms and tops. for an intrady, so far the high/low can be thought as top and bottom. if you bottom...

I did not know what to say for this day. I used the simplest strategy, buy OTM call or OTM put. once tried buy a call and put at the same strike, but feel odd, why keep neutral, never tried butterfly aapl today way performed my other plays, my other takes are VHC, expe, not so much.

just forget about money. do not look at market, and associate the move with loss and gain. just descibe the market as it is. for example, I see the market is trending down, I get to sell the market is rallying in a trend, I get to buy at the support the market is stuck in a range, I get to...

it amused me. the word " was not priced in" "was unexpected" the IV really means something, it means nothing! if people can price in, I think no one should do trading, since there is no business. I hold 100lot put ZNGA at 0.13. just wondering and worrying how my QQQ 62...

out of all my put 26, 25,23 terriblely home run this morning. glad ignore goog, and trade those big movers. next week vvus is suspected to go under 20? wait for next entry for next week, put 10% of my gain in this position. anyone trade vvus?

interesting play, maximum loss 120, gain 1000. like this strategy, but it needs lots of margin. if moves like MLNX, that will be good. EDU/VVUS/WHX are good moves, did not ride edu, rode whx with 12.5 put OTM, very profitable. today rode some 26 vvus put otm, very good too. whx is an...

hug losers hate winners I am a trend rider. I exited pre-maturely lots of time when a little pullback happened. I knew it is a just helthy pullback, but I convinced myself by exiting it: this may be a real reversal, better take some, in case the market regains theirs, i end nothing even gave...

day trading is hard. that is true. since trades are entered most technically, not a sound fendematal reason. I found technical trading is just for computers, very suitable. for human being, hard to flip over mind several times. I admit that is true. if you trade using a stop loss, that...

the cancellation fee really is an issue to me too. I want to switch to other firm for better fee. some fixed fee firm actually has higher fee. so kind of stuck. option needs frequent order change, some time a penny difference will let a winner become a loser. I do not trade a lot, but...

my edge is: whether adversary or favorable, hold on just like a tick hold on to its prey. I do not over-analize the market: I am not a systematic trader, I am discretinary. I know I must use different weapons to kill enemies in different situations. but I know the most deadly is: buy low...

just trade it as other things. the only thing different here is: option expires, so timing is critical. last week, my aapl 590 call is just worthless, but this week it is good, and someone keep buying aapl. loss is inavoidable. no one is immune from it. whether veterns or...

just ideal discusions. if just for 1point per trade, for example the ES. theoretically you can make trades you can not count in a day. or in another word, you can make as much as you can. practically and as a matter of fact, even HFT could not do it. yes, there are enomouse 1point...

describe your trade as it is. use this/that, not my or I or mine. and third party wording, like he, she, it. just like a beholder. otherwise easily you will easily be the situation of ego defense...
