That's exactly how I'd play it small, take the small losses, and leave the potential home runs in play. I did move things around this morning. I took off a lot of SQ Aug 65 calls after it couldn't hold $70. I was in too heavy. I also added FB Aug wk2 182.5 calls on momentum. I think FB has...

I was in WTW last time around. I took either a small loss or a small gain. That's how I remember that trade right now. I jumped in too early and just played the calls straight. Those were my mistakes. To adjust, I'm going to play it today leading into earnings and use a call spread to lower...

That's exactly my goal, to hit a 50% w/l but be able to raise that risk ratio above 2:1. If I can do that consistently, then that's all I need. I've seen 100% win ratio, but that comes with a risk ratio under 1:1. I've tried, so I'm skeptical when some one advertises on TV telling everyone else...

WB, isn't there an earning report due soon on that one? I've been adding AAPL Aug 10 207.5 calls all morning into and have a nice 40 call position in play now. Right now, that's where I feel momentum is at, so that's where I want most of my account to be at too. I've also added a little more to...

looks like they pushed right through those 400ma. I took some losses this morning on DATA and FLT totaling -3780. Those 2 hurt. I also avg into AAPL Aug 10 $207.5 calls totaling ($3,923) looking for AAPL's momentum to push into next week. I don't expect to be in this one too long with momentum...

I'm leaning more on the side of new highs coming up. That's if Trump's White House doesn't throw any more wildcards out there. For the past 2 months, this market has been trying to gain steam, but these surprise tariff news have put a stop to them. The flow is higher though. Reading through all...

I've been slowly adding those earning trades in and I did not jump into ANET (options are too expensive and spreads are too wide). I am using GDDY Aug $75 calls, FLT Aug $220 calls, and DATA Aug 3 $110 calls. I like all 3 charts here with GDDY bouncing off the bottom of its trend channel, FLT...

Yep smallfil, saw that in my account. It was crazy watching it come back to life. But that's how earning trades are. I've got a few more earning trades to set up today too, and like I've said before every time I make a big gain, I want to jump in and take on higher beta positions. I'm looking at...

Yea, I was more cautious this time around because I took the loss last quarter. I knew I had to average up this morning when the options dipped below $2.00. My target was always +3.00 on this trade where I thought AAPL might stop just under $205. I was wrong on the strength of this momentum, and...

And, AAPL is running this morning. I can't keep holding these 50 calls watching them nearly triple. I'm closing them out now. All out between $3.85-$4.00, and just as I get out AAPL makes the next leg up to $4.50 range on these Aug 3 $200 calls. Screw that.

I'm not sure how this will play out yet, but I took to the open and added 10 more AAPL 200 calls on this weak open for a total of 50. And I feel like SQ will do a repeat of last quarter's move. So I've added SQ Aug 65 calls looking for a bounce. Closed out all the FB puts and also took out BA...

I'm set for the after hours. I've got QRVO and SQ calls in play for earnings. I have been adding AAPL Aug 3 200 calls all day getting up to 40 calls at now, and I'm betting on AAPL hitting that $1T mark by Friday. I think I'll have to wait another day for that move. I still have some of the FB...

I believe the selling on INTC should be done. INTC's report was strong, except for one line. In addition, other chip stocks were solid too like LRCX and AMD all showing solid numbers. I've been adding AAPL 200 calls all day actually averaging up. I've also added JPM Aug $115 calls here betting...

Well, I needed AAPL to be above $197.7 to be profitable on my bullish strangle. Got just that and a bit more. I've rolled out of the AAPL strangle and opened a short term position using AAPL Aug 3 $200 calls just to test and see if shares can break above $200. I also closed out MSFT 106 calls...

I'm in AAPL, playing a strangle with a bias to the upside. We'll see if AAPL can hit that $1T mark tomorrow morning. Using AAPL 187.5 puts and AAPL 192.5 calls. I'll average into both side of this trade into the close.

BABA is back to flat, but that morning rally allowed me to get out of those 185 calls. I also took time to review and exit a good chunk of my FB puts. I realized that I basically only have GOOGL calls left, and that's a very small position now. I did open a long position on MSFT today, so I left...

Nice move on TWTR. I've added MSFT Aug 3 $105 calls here too. Thought about averaging down, but decided to go to a lower strike. And I've got some losses growing, taking a hit on those BA puts I added at the close yesterday. I'll use that as downside hedge. I saw the move in BABA just before the...

Looks like a dead cat bounce. But I took the opportunity to exit BABA 185 calls. I am taking a loss on those BA puts and FB puts are giving some back. I also added MSFT Aug 3 $106 calls. I figure if this dead cat bounce last longer than today, then those stocks that had strong reports this...

It is. I'm up +$8.3k right now, was closer to $11k at the lows. And that's why I'm betting on BABA's rebound. I've also just added BA Aug 3 350 puts here under $3.00. With a good chunk of the earnings out of the way by the end of this week, it feels like trade is going to push the market...

I have added to BABA Aug 3 $185 calls here a bit lower. Averaging down again getting an avg price of $2.56. It does feel like it and that's why I've been on this one more than the other stocks. I'm practically playing this one for BIDU's report this week. I believe there's a move in play on BABA...
