Here we go: I'm about to close out MRVL for a small gain, nothing to say there. -Opening positions on MSFT Apr 95 calls, INTC Apr 50 calls, AMAT Apr 60 calls. Also added NFLX and NVDA March calls, using NFLX 325 calls and NVDA 247.5 calls. Looks like I'm sticking mostly to techs.

Well, the pattern is changing. We didn't get a sell off in the middle of this week, and if today holds then the rally is picking steam. I'm changing more from weekly calls to monthly calls and will start looking at breakout patterns.

Added MRVL 23 calls heading into earnings tonight. Using the weekly calls. And that BZUN was practically telling us to buy again yesterday. I had a whole position so I didn't want to over extend, but the way it traded all day was a good sign, although I didn't like the close.

Took losses in WUBA and THO along with JWN. Losses totaled -930. The gain on BURL of +567 covered some of that. On the upside, SQ and BZUN have continued their rallies here and both are showing green. I am looking at MRVL with earning results due tonight. I'll also look at X depending on how the...

It looked like I was going to nail all 3 earning trades this time. I've been a little rusty in this section of my trades. So far I'm getting 2 out of 3 with BURL showing +10, and THO at +6.5 with WUBA just at breakeven (it was above 80 earlier this morning). With the tariff details not expected...

Looks alright so far. THO's numbers were good (could be better but I'll take it). Shares of THO closed out AH at 127 +4.59. WUBA's numbers came out at 7pm and it looks very good too with eps growth +100% and rev growth at +38%. Shares closed out AH at 79.90 +2.79. I'll check on BURL tomorrow and...

I added THO Mar 125 calls. This is an earning trade and I like the position. Shares fell hard on a downgrade that just continued when the market started its correction at the end of Jan. I also like BURL here, it looks like investors were spooked on ROST miss on same-store sales, but I believe...

I did add more SQ here. Used SQ Mar 49 calls, and no more than $500 risk on this position itself.

I also wanted to point out that I was off in the WUBA earning trade. I thought yesterday was actually Wednesday and I was setting up for that earning trade with the release expected this morning, but today's actually Wednesday, so I'll have to wait another day. I was also stopped out on the SQ...

Position size is key here. On the BZUN calls, I had $690 risk from $32K total when I opened the trade. That puts it at 2.1% of total account. I'd prefer not to take a 100% loss on this trade, but if all goes bad, then I'm okay with it. More than likely, I will take closer to an 80% loss. It will...

Looks like I got lucky on BZUN, those Mar 45 calls took off with shares pushing back up. I also added WUBA ahead of earnings tonight. Used the March 80 calls. Just looking for earnings to accelerate from here.

I thought I was done, but I screened a breakout this morning. A quick review shows solid earning results from BZUN (chinese stock). I dipped into this one using about $600 risk or 2%. The breakout looks solid, and I'm still conflicted on actual earning reports from Chinese stocks, but I'll give...

Thank you ironchef, I started this journal to keep tracks of my thoughts as I buy and sell every positions. This way, I have an idea of how to adjust to my future positions. I also tried to put my trades and at least my general ideas here asap so that any one who wants to give it a shot can test...

I had to close out the NFLX calls; the gains on this one ended at +3500. Locked in gains in JPM too; I jumped in yesterday morning at 1.63 avg and gains came to just under +1100. I'm taking a hit in the JWN play though, with news that the Family were only buying it for $50/sh. That's definitely...

Note: I've adjusted my position size from 2-3 to 4+ today. Account this morning was at 30,144. I certainly do feel like the account is going much fast with an extra 1-2 calls. It does help that the NFLX 310 calls I rolled up to went from 3.4 to 10 in one day. That JPM 112 weekly call also...

I may have taken a loss on the earnings play, but I'm going back long SQ today using Apr 50 calls. The breakout looks very strong and it should push through 50 soon. I still love the base set up and this one will actually be a much longer play than recent trades.

NVDA positions closed out for +950, NFLX was rolled up (so I closed the 295 calls for +2300) and added the 310 calls at 3.3-3.4 range. Also took 1/2 off the JWN position, and added JPM 112 weekly calls with jobs report out on Friday.

Well, market is back to its pattern, except it looks like it is starting sooner. I'm closing out NVDA calls within 15 mins of the open as that one is a little weaker. I will also lock in some gains on NFLX, but hold onto JWN. The JWN play is not on market pattern, but instead it is a play on the...

I'm skeptical on reaching 1M by the end of this year. I got a great start only because January was one of those blue moon months where the market went up everyday. It took me a bit longer to find out what kind of pattern was displayed in February, but I got lucky on the weekend on Feb. 16-20...

I took some losses this week. That hit on X was -667, and the SQ position took a loss of -503 along with a -346 on AMZN weekly calls. The account was down to $25K before this bounce back. Those positions I took this morning are starting to payoff. I added JWN Mar 52.5 calls to start, and then...
