Alright, so I've been adding MULE all day. I think I'm done now with 10 MULE Apr 40 calls. I also ended with 8 MULE Apr 35 calls with a total of 21% of my account. If this happens in the next 2 days, it's going to be an all cash play, and if the $6B holds, then the price should be around $46...

I've ended with 10 calls on MULE's Apr 40 calls. Decided to add the MULE Apr 35 calls too. I'm looking to end up with about 5-6 of the Apr 35 calls added to my 10 Apr 40 calls.

I have continued to add to MULE Apr 40 calls. It gave me a couple of opportunity to grab those calls around 2.50. So far, I've got 6 calls total. I'll try to get up to as high as 12 on this one. IF rumors hold and announcement is this week, then I want to get in early. If there's no news by...

Decided to also lock in gains in SQ Apr 50 calls. I don't want to give back any of those profits too.

SQ is getting really close to my target of 57-60. I'd look to close out if it can reach 57.75-58.25 today. That's the only one giving me gains the past 2 weeks. Everything else is showing red. I also added MU Mar wk5 $60 calls today. Looking for that earnings play heading into Thursday, and a...

Nothing much yesterday, I did get stopped out of NVDA weekly 255 calls. That's about it. I have stops on all of the Apr calls set between 50-60% of initial costs, and most are close to their stops like MSFT, AMAT, and PYPL. Other than that, my view is still long, but I can see everything related...

Leverage. It's always leverage. Right now, I make a gain on 60% of my trades (actual is 58%). I know that if I make 5 trades, I tend to be profitable on 3. Leverage allows me to take on all 5 trades. At $35K in the account, I can't control 300 sh of MSFT and still have funds left for 4 more...

It's all directional. I'm betting on momentum in each of the short term calls, and chart pattern breakouts in the longer dated options. Ex. NVDA's current play is purely on its breakout of record levels and momentum overshooting that creates a couple more days of record highs before flattening...

Well, the market initially reacted positively to a tamed PPI on Tuesday before the rumors of all the shuffling in the white house continued to dominate headlines. CPI numbers were generally in line too, but that didn't move the market much. This leads me to believe that if Powell's first meeting...

I've closed that one out on Monday along with a lot of the March calls. By the close of Tuesday, all I had left on March calls were JPM, and those were stopped on 3/14. I'm holding all April calls with the NVDA Mar wk4 255 calls that are showing a loss too. That loss on AVGO took a good chunk of...

Closed out AVGO for a loss this morning. I also added DKS Apr 35 calls looking for a breakout soon and target of 40.

Added AVGO Mar 270 calls today ahead of earnings. Going to play the earnings side of this stock. With the QCOM distraction gone, it should be nothing but earnings ahead. I still like all my Apr calls, and that NVDA Mar wk4 call is holding up so far.

Things were slow yesterday. I held onto all my Apr option positions like SQ, MSFT, AMAT, and INTC. I did close out the weekly NFLX and JPM calls taking losses on both. I also added NVDA Mar week4 255 calls yesterday just 10 or so minutes before the close. After watching yesterday's close, I...

I'm with handle123 on this one Jeff. I'm looking for another higher volume up day before confirmation. I liked the increased volume when things picked up from Thursday to Friday. We may not go much lower, but more sideways for a few days, and then I'm looking for that gap higher. The thing here...

I haven't jumped into any thing on the short side, but I have been looking at QCOM from here at 60 to 55 (pre-merger news price), X also failed to move even after a strong earning guidance report last night, and NFLX back to about 310 (but that was from 323 yesterday). With NFLX at 317, the risk...

NVDA is making that monster move to record highs, and this is where I take 1/2 position off. I'm also locking 1/2 NFLX too just in case, and I'm closing out the SQ Mar calls. I still have SQ Apr calls and will hold that position into April if needed. All other Apr calls are an easy hold. I...

Nice chart Jeff. That's exactly the technical analysis that I felt from Wednesday into Friday. From Monday to Thursday as the SP500 was held below its 50-day ma, you could feel buying pressure building up. Where Wednesday and Thursday were more bearish over the past 2-3 weeks, they turned...

I read this book about 13 years ago. It's basically buying breakouts. They key to reaching $2M so fast wasn't that he bought at the right time, but if you read it through, then you'll see that his position size on each trade was massive. If he believed in a breakout, he would put more than 50%...

Locked in +6200 in gains this week. Most of it came on Monday when I added JPM and NFLX last Friday. I am actually doing that again this week with NFLX and JPM (along with NVDA). I jumped into JPM a little late so it's showing a -12 unrealized at the close. I was able to jump into NFLX earlier...

I got lucky, but I'm sitting just under 35.5K. The big SQ positions I added on Monday and Wednesday are paying off. I also got lucky on that BZUN trade where it could have gone very bad. Those 3 positions are still opened, but that's about 2300 in gains that has pushed me into the 35K mark. The...
