TRIPLE DOWN...SPXL lol

I bought a few 207 calls expiring this week for .35 yesterday at the close. Nice profit this morning. Last night I decided I would sell half at the open and hold the other half if we were up in the AM... couldn't take it, sold all at around .86 :banghead:

Hopefully Santa Claus really keeps the buying going, I've got some calls that would love the gift of 2060 ES on Christmas eve lol

That's a great idea. There are a lot of nurseries in my area. I don't think too many grow them to significant size though. Most grow them to the size places like Home Depot and Lowes want as I think they supply quite a few. I've thought about that as a potential idea for a business though...

I lowered my limit and just exited. made a 300% return... on 25 lol. I was going to adjust my order higher but after I pulled up the modify screen it filled

You started this thread with a $10k account for this right? Feel like I remember you saying that somewhere, after today, what does that put you up to total? Great job by the way!

I should obviously know this, but this is my first foray into holding a future option near expiration. I've only ever messed with equity options for any holds to expiration. I am holding for Dec 18th: +1 - 2040 call -2 - 2050 call +1 - 2060 call Am I reading this correctly that 8:30 am...

Sometimes if you throw an order out, a much tighter bid ask will show up. It does that sometimes on ES spreads I've noticed at least.

Thanks for the good advice, after your prior post mentioning the ITM options, I checked to see how they performed compared to the OTM and realized there wouldn't have been much of a difference in the return $ by moving to a higher strike that was around a third of the cost..SO with that being...

http://www.weather.com/storms/winter/news/winter-storm-echo-impacts Wonder if this will have much of an impact on nat gas Edit: Looking at the 10 day forecast for a few cities, it doesn't seem like it will affect the east very much

Yeah, just edited my post lol. It was an improvement on my typical hold time at least is what I meant, but far from a longer hold you are definitely right. Working with a smaller account, so felt more comfortable holding options long while not constantly watching vs the outright. Not that I...

I followed your advice (somewhat) and held for longer, thanks for the good tip! I'm about to go into a meeting and be away from the computer for several hours, so just locked in the gains!

Yeah, late one night I thought I found some pricing anomoly when I entered the fly, then about 10 seconds later I realized I was wrong lol. But since I only put $25 into it, I figured what the heck, I'll just let it ride.

I've been long an ES butterfly for the 18th for about 3 months at 2040/2050/2060...paid a whopping $25 for it after commission, so have just been holding it with every intention of making it through expiration. Been pretty excited this week at the remote possibility of it actually hitting after...

Well, went long NQ made some good money, then just got slammed on the drop back down

who is feeling a long on ES into the meeting tomorrow? Debating on buying an ES call tonight but feel like we might see some form of pullback before the meeting announcement or right around it. Short a small amount of vol currently as well.

Their valuation blew my mind last I looked at them, but it's insane how much they are used. We've done almost every bit of our Christmas shopping exclusively through Amazon. Bought a couple things on Walmart.com because they were cheaper, but other than that it's almost all Amazon. If they can...

It won't go to 0, they will just do a reverse split on the shares and it will continue on like normal. You might lose 99.9999% of your investment though if it continued down and they continue doing the reverse splits.

Wondering if we might bounce off the trendline on the hourly

You are knocking them out today! I went short NQ somewhat near your level. Made about 5pts, locked it in, then put it on again on a small pullback, but didn't hold for long. Would have been better off just holding through the whole time. My initial target was around 4675
