There might be a momentum play on $ROKU after all, especially after watching the debate from Citron on CNBC today. Looking for a set up to see if there's a potential.

I can't fall in love with a trade. I bought at 5.75 and on Monday morning it was flashing 27-29 minutes off the open. That's a 5 bagger in 3 days, you've got to get out or at least set up a stop loss. What I did was basically a synthetic stop loss where I sold the original position and then set...

Dead cat bounce on $SQ makes for an interesting short position. I will test this technical analysis with a position on $SQ Dec week 2 40 put option. Just a straight technical play on $SQ where I see support at $36. If there's a drop, it is usually fast and furious. Also had to close out just...

Wow, that $ADSK move looks like a short position in play. Restructuring at a time when the market is at an all time high should be a clear red flag. I think we can see fundamentals weaken over the next 1-2 quarters. The shares looked frothy at those levels with no support. On the retail side...

Andrew Left's tweet definitely changed the dynamic on $ROKU. Short term momentum is gone at this point. I had to close out 4/6 calls in this position as a day trade. Not what I wanted, but that tweet crushed the momentum. I'll hold the remaining just to ride it out this week. A total loss on the...

The only earning trade I didn't like is $ADSK. There's a good chance its report is strong again, but that rally from $115 to $129 was just too fast. I added a position in $PVH using the Dec $140 call and $VMW using the Dec $130 call. Just one contract, a small position.

I am out of $AMZN this morning. Took a loss on this second position, but I always played this second position as a stop loss to the initial position because of the closing price I got yesterday. I was definitely sweating on the $ROKU move. Added the first $ROKU position at $1.60, and that was...

I slacked off yesterday. I closed out trades, rolled up the $AMZN position and then practically went to sleep and missed out on the $ROKU move. Jumped on $ROKU right at the open using Dec week 1 $50 call for a cost of ($487). I believe the short term momentum on $ROKU should be higher by another...

Yesterday was a very interesting day. I was tempted to add to the $AMZN position, but my initial cost on the Dec week 1 $1220 calls were going to be my risk. I actually wanted that price as my stop loss on the $1190 call, which is why I had set it up that way. I am not going to touch that...

I played $SHOP on its technical analysis and short interest plays, but that does look like a solid black Friday weekend from $SHOP's merchants. Thanks for the update Vanzandt. I got out of all the trades I wanted to, took a smaller profit in $MU, and losses in $AMAT and $ADI. I was totally wrong...

I'm definitely going to update my account today. $MU, $AMAT, and $ADI are all showing weakness this morning. The only news I got that might be the reason for this is a downgrade in $WDC. I'm going to go ahead and close out all three today. On the upside, $SHOP received an upgrade and is...

Thanks, I got lucky a couple of times already. Like that $WMT trade. I knew how $WMT might react on its earnings, but the rally beyond $93 was not in my expectations. Same can be said with $AMZN. I missed the opening price around $3.11 and was lucky to catch at on the second dip to $5.75. I was...

I like $PYPL. Same can be said of $SQ too. I believe both will certainly double from here by the next Thanksgiving. I'd love to see $SQ give me a chance to get in, but that parabolic move is just too much. I'd also love to speculate on the bitcoin side too, especially with $OSTK. I guess I had...

I've done a lot of trading since starting 2 weeks ago. I'm sure my broker is making bucks on that end. I just checked and I closed out 6 winners and 2 losers for a net gain of $1,476. On top of that, I have 6 opened positions in play, although the $ADI and $AMAT positions were practically roll...

What a nice record close for the day. Getting into that $AMZN position even after shares were higher helped push my account to my target of $4,000 by end of the year. I thought I might get it by today, but that $AMZN position really helped pull it through. Shares of $AMZN closed at $1186, and...

I also finished reading a couple of articles on the $AVGO/$QCOM merger, and I think $AVGO is going to raise its price to at least $80 for $QCOM. We could see $85 for good measures. Shares of $QCOM should rally from its current $68 to at least $75-$80 depending on the new price that $AVGO is...

Missed out on $AMZN this morning. I had $AMZN Dec week 1 $1175 calls all set up, but took the kids shopping and came back forgetting to enter the trade. That was a quick run, but after watching how light the crowd was out there, I got into an $AMZN position using $AMZN Dec week 1 $1190 call @...

All three earning stocks went as I expected. $CRM was too high heading into earnings and a 1-2 point fall back even on a good report was very likely. $CRM is down this morning at -1.74. $DE should have been traded last Friday. At yesterday's price, the $138 calls were around $3.20-$3.70, and I...

Looked over the numbers for $GME, and the only thing I didn't like is that they just reaffirmed FY guidance even after showing a Q3 beat. That clearly puts pressure on Q4 to be lower than anticipated. On the upside, the comp sales are slightly higher than current estimates. Shares were going to...

I watched $DE, $CRM, and $GME for any clues to their earnings today/tomorrow morning. $DE looks ripe for a reversal, but as long as $CAT shows solid results, there's always a chance that $DE turns around too. I liked $CRM about 2 weeks ago at $99 when the Najarians talked about option players...
