Also added back into NVDA using NVDA Jul wk2 $245 calls

Added BA Jul wk2 330 puts today. I want to see how the start of this trade war plays out. Might as well also add the NFLX Jul 420 calls here playing it up to earnings on Jul 16. Also added FB week 2 $200 calls here. I've definitely have to watch my position size. Still adjusting to the lower...

Yea, I did. I took a vacation with the family. It was relaxing and I clearly skipped out on a lot of losers. For the day, I did close out the NFLX and NVDA call positions. I wanted to take profits on both of these even if they were small profits. Locked in +606 total on both trades. Tomorrow's...

I took a hit on TSLA when it hit my stops this morning, closing out the position at -$2469. I added more NFLX and NVDA at the end of yesterday's trading avg down on both. I totaling misplayed the TSLA position. Instead of playing the event like I initially set out to do, I played TSLA like a...

lol, I just wanted to point out that I did understand what truetype meant in terms of stop losses. I use them all the time. All the losses I took, I didn't just decide to close out trades. They've hit my stops (I use limit stops so the market gets me out at the expected price, or I cancel the...

Oh I understood what he meant. I let the stops hit with my entire NFLX position. I'll use stops on options that I plan to hold for a longer period. In the end, my entire position is always my stop. Stops can be used in different ways. A stop should always be a stop and the loss taken, but there...

Yes, I initially thought the SP500 was going to test its 200-day ma, but the open on Friday with volume elevated all day on the large caps I watched changed my view. I started looking at Friday's trade as the start of a bounce, and then we get to Friday's closing where the SP500 and DOW just...

TSLA options hit my stop, but instead of exiting, I added more to my position. Did the same to NVDA 240 calls too. I've got 4500 in TSLA calls and about 1300 in NVDA calls so it's not too big, but with a starting capital of $18K, I'm reaching it here.

Adding NVDA Jul wk1 240 calls here at avg 3.23. Failed with the NFLX position, we'll see if NVDA can push me back into green for this quarter. I took a total -1379 loss on the NFLX position.

Rusty seems to be an understatement. I thought Trump was done adding more news into the market and would allow the market to adjust to his new policies. He added more fuel this weekend, and created more chaos. I took the chance this morning to close out the entire NFLX position for losses (they...

And, I've also added NFLX Jul wk1 $400 calls here. I'm still looking for NFLX to break above $400 by early next week.

Yep, I watched your charts. That support at the 50-day held (not sure if it's short term or a set up for a break out move above 2780-2800), and I want to dip into the market on this bounce. By next Friday we'll know the strength of this rebound.

I'm jumping back into the market today. Grabbed NFLX Jul wk1 $410 calls right here at avg $4.16 cost with comm. I'm also looking to get into TSLA calls ahead of July. Added more nflx with the avg price down to $3.77. Also added TSLA Jul 360 calls right here.

Thanks for the charts Jeff, I'm watching your charts update on here, and that's a big red there at the end. If I'm really looking for patterns here, I wouldn't be surprised to see 1-2 more red bars like today's move. I'm still hoping for support at 2664 (200-day ma). If that doesn't hold, then...

That 400 sma seems to be spot on. I wonder how long that 400 sma has been working this year.

Thanks Jeff and smallfil, it was time to take profits out of play while the market finds a direction. As for direction, I'd keep watch on the SPX's 50-day ma. That 50-day ma played support perfectly in late May, but it is still 40 points below. I have a feeling we're going to see some sort of a...

I want to see some clarity before setting up new trades. I am going to finish this first half with $118,535.71. I will remove $100k from it and start the second half with $18,535.71. Hope everyone gets a great Summer vacation too.

I thought Trump would give them a deal that slightly favors them at least to start. It actually felt like it was heading that way. Now in relation to my trades, I just thought Trump and his advisors were on the same page and when it was announced, Lighthizer would already have a list on hand...

I don't disagree that something has to be done, and I'm not even knocking on Trump's choice to start it all. He also shouldn't back down, but it clearly felt like he didn't have steps 2-5 set so now he's playing on impulse, and that's where the advantage goes more to China. I'm still hoping he...

I'm getting out here on all positions while the gains are still high. I just don't feel like Trump has an end game in sight, which means this trade war can last all Summer long.
