well, I'm stuffed.......my own modifications of the advisory service I've been using sucks. I've lost about ($1,180.82) modifying the CNQR and GMCR trades. On the other hand, since going back to taking their trades, my account is higher right now with realized gains at $1,265.30. That's a...

Well, maybe I should have taken the NTES put trade they recommended. Instead I went for the SHLD debit spread. Their recommendation was actually for a debit spread on both calls and puts. Buying SHLD 80/85 call spread, and SHLD 70/65 call spread. I think the total cost was $160 or so and the...

closed the 200 shares CNQR at $36.92, my total loss on the trade was -$776.12. Closed trades are now at -$39.58. Well, lesson learned on this trade is that I should have shorted the 35 calls at $6.30 and captured the gains. From what I saw, I could have closed out the 35 calls at $2.10 and...

Bought back CNQR 40 calls at $0.10 for a net gain $407. Realized gains are now $736.54, but I still have 200 shares CNQR with buy price at $40.65 and shares now at $36.70 for -$790..... I also have those nice LFT December 30 calls bought at $3.30 yesterday, now at $5.00 already limiting the...

Well, I went back and looked at CNQR's recent report back in August, and noticed a few things: 1. the earnings beat, numbers were very good overall 2. CNQR closed at $34.50 area, opens lower following day under $33 (about a 4.6% lower open), then trades all the way back to close at $37 for...

well, as expected earnings on CNQR came in above the numbers, but I see that the shares are down. Any thoughts? Still, just as I actually expected, the stock is falling to about $38 and my break even was $38.40. That would put my loss at about -$80 to -$100 tomorrow depending on the price I...

ok so their CNQR trade is now closed, but I still have my shares opened...their recommendation was to buy cnqr november 40 calls on friday at $1.30 or less and closing it our at $2.25 or higher today. Well, I still have 150 shares, and even added 50 more shares of CNQR at 41.25. My total...

I realized I wasn't making any progress just following trades....so what this new journal brings is the fact that I'm putting in my own thoughts and tweeks to their trades. This time, I'm the guy running the trade, and not just reading and following an email. As you can see, it was a fair...

bought 150 shares of CNQR at $40.45....hopefully it goes well...

I'm all cash for now, but they do have trades open, and I'll see what I can do with those open trades.

Well, I got their email to close and I jumped out of JOYG November 55 calls at $3.60. Made a nice +$722.47 gain on this trade. I'm up for this account now. $6,329.54 +$329.54 +5.49%

Loss -$136.49 on RIMM contract, so bummer there as I'm still learning.....but I did buy URBN shares and sold off on Friday after that nice jump making a nice +$194.30 on that trade. As of right now that puts me at -$392.97. I bought 5 JOYG November 55 calls at $2.10. Unrealized gain here...

Okay, I had to take some losses, and maybe early, but so be it.....still using their recommended trades to make my own trades.... bought back the 1 GMCR November 80 calls at $0.15, I made +$248.51 on that trade. I sold 40 shares GMCR at $67.30 and 100 shares GMCR at $68.0601.....took a...

Bought 140 shares GMCR at $75.20, sold 1 contract GMCR November 75 calls at $2.85. Bought 1 RIMM November 65 calls at $2.15. Total cost for all was ($10,289.48) and yes I'm using margins on this trade as I was only at $6,360.92 before making today's trades. I guess I'll update their...

$6,000 in my account time to trade starting 11/9.... To start, I'm looking for a meager $9,000 gain by the end of the year. I will take options and stocks....and have already bought an online advisory service, but I will use those recommendations to my own advantages. They say buy PCLN...

all cash, sold DNDN at $1.10 and GMCR at $4.10....

not bad so far trying to make my money back....sold ISRG calls off the open at $10.00 for +$3,120, but took a loss on DNDN calls selling at $1.00 for -$2,130. Add my nice gain from X at +$4526, and I've got a nice gain of +$5,516 after 3 closed trades.....I still have 2 GMCR calls and those are...

Bought 2 GMCR November 75 Calls at $5.60

Bad day, just a bad day....my dndn calls man they are down from $3.10 to $0.71 now with loss of -2390. It's a good thing isrg is a wonder and my isrg calls are still making money now at $9.40. I'm with a gain of +2850 on those. Just about cancelled out that loss. Hope those dndn turns around...

Ha, and the market thought I was game....fighting back now and getting my money back. I sold all 12 calls at $5.00....sweet profits of $4,526. Now, I've got some cash to play with and I like DNDN's action. Bough 10 DNDN October 29 calls at $3.10. We'll see how this goes, but still have ISRG...
