I didn't like that yesterday's volume on FB did not go above the recent 129M posted last week. It was close at 125M. My FB 155 calls were closed, but I've been looking to see if we can get a continuation bounce this week back to 167-168 range. I've added FB apr wk 1 165 calls this time going to...

I figured, everyone knows I'm using short term contracts....this week's are actually quarterly contracts that expire on Thursday. If you're not smart enough to know that then do some research first. There's no way I'm setting up anything longer than a week on these kind of positions with so much...

Added FB 155 calls at 3.975 avg. The heavy volume this morning suggests a bottom. At least a bottom until more damaging news are released. If nothing else, then it should bounce here. I should note, this is a hedge play against a market rally on my puts too.

I don't know if gold will move up here. Gold played well during the 2008 crash because interest rates fell, dollar index fell, and markets fell pushing everyone into gold. This crash here is a bit different. We're definitely not going to see the big rally in gold, but my guess is traders looking...

I think there has to be some kind of bounce because you can't get any closer to the 200-day ma than what the SPX did on Friday. In the long run, there's too many unknown for the market to sustain any kind of rally. We haven't even seen how the steel and aluminum tariffs play out, and now we have...

I need to recap my idiotic plays of the week to remind myself not to get into this kind of position again. I took a big position on jpm and added to it even after the market fell pushing JPM to lower levels. In addition, I added to most of my bullish position. Even added to the HES May 50 calls...

Before I call it a week, I'll say this was the most volatile week in my account. Nailed the SQ trade along with MULE position for +6200 in profits, then closed out a bunch of losses (9 in total) before locking in some put positions for gains and finishing with gains of +2023. I was settled on...

I closed out my BA Mar wk5 327.5 puts for +800 on what I thought would be a rebound in the market at 3pm. My mistake and I left some profits in the market. Overall, I'll hold the HES and DKS calls here with both showing minimal unrealized losses of -800 total. That's against the CAT 150 puts...

I'll say that I am more bearish at this point. I added initial positions (1-2 puts on BABA, BIDU, BA, and CAT puts) starting at noon. Then just added more after Trump pushed the markets up to its highs. Overall, I think we have to sell into the close. This was probably a chance for those who...

I closed out all long positions this morning taking losses on MU, INTC, and AMAT. The only call position I have left is a small DKS position and the HES calls. I was a bit busier adjusting my put positions, but I did lock in gains this morning on all of them including BA, CAT, and BABA puts...

Well, this market is back in the mud and I might just have caught the downtrend just in time. I'm going to look more into exiting more calls tomorrow to adjust to this market. At last check, INTC, AMAT, and HES have all held up well since Monday, and that's one reason I've been slow to close...

Going to use this bounce on BABA to take on some puts...I'll fade into this short rally. Using BABA Mar wk5 185 puts.

Definitely, I had continued to hold calls betting on the long side as long as the Nasdaq held up and kept a rally mode going. That breakout today below 50-day just turned things around. I'm still hold some calls, but I did add BA 327.5 puts and CAT 150 puts as hedges, and more of a play into...

I've added BA and CAT Mar wk5 puts today. Feels a little late to the game here, but it seems like Trump is the wild card for a few more weeks or months. Used BA 327.5 puts and CAT 150 puts that expires on March 29

Nasdaq broke its 50-day ma, and that's where I thought about total liquidation. I checked every position I had, and decided to start by getting rid of the weak ones first. MSFT, PYPL, and those JPM next week options were closed out for a loss of -3500. That ate into the +6200 profits this week I...

Well, I added more positions into the end of day, anda ended up with lots of JPM Mar wk5 (mar 29 expiration) 115 calls. The FOMC meeting should have pushed this market higher. I do feel the safer play are the banks going into next week, but then again I took 2 straight losses today too. I am...

Took a loss on FDX calls with this position being stopped out. This along with the FB put loss this morning totals -700. I get too aggressive after locking in big gains, giving the market back some of my profits. The fomc announcement was generally dovish, but it sounds like 3 rate hikes set...

Tight stop on FB triggered. I was wrong on FB for today. I've added more FDX after taking this FB loss.

I tend to get riskier after locking in big gains. I added FDX Mar wk 4 255 calls at the open here for 3.20 avg. It's not a big position, but I saw FDX above 260 in AH and earnings were on par. The profits from that quick MULE trade was a little above +4200 as I went in with a big position size...

Well, I thought the rumors on this one might be more to the true side. MULE will be bought out at 44.89 (which includes a bit of CRM stock). Shares are at $44, and that's probably where I'll close out my position. One mistake here is the position size should have been a bit bigger, but after...
