Good chance of closing in on your profit figure tomorrow. Nasdaq has been drastically underperforming Dow and S&P for the year, so it might try to catch up here. Overnight move is so far in your favor as well. I am also long going into tomorrow.

Good luck.

I shouldn't have posted the pics of the car I admit. I was just trying to show a point that it might not have been the best time to start the challenge since I had a pretty traumatic event just a couple days back. I also didn't point out the type of car I was driving or anything. I feel that if...

This is how the conversation went: Me: Do I need a police report to be filed: Him: If it is a one vehicle accident, then typically there does not have to be one filed. Me: What if I the insurance company asks for me? Him: Then we can write one up. I walk away from the car. Minute later he calls...

I wouldn't do such a challenge because $100k is material enough for me not to through it into a challenge or an experiment. If things go completely rouge with this challenge, I might repeat it again. The first losing trade I took on the account really hurt the morale of the challenge. I have...

Negative criticism on my trading style or lack of inaction don't really faze me. What does get to me is when people make assumptions on my financial situation. My dad is a programmer and my mom is a nurse. They drive a leased Honda CRV. I do not come from a family of wealth. My family is as...

Not passing the blame over to theta. I am just emphasizing that on this trade, it was the time decay that piled on the loses. If I had taken a deeper ITM call, then the losses would have been very minor. There are folks that watch the videos and threads that are just getting their feet wet and...

AMEX still reports to credit bureau. My credit score right now is just shy off 800.

Day 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEZMlH_79Gc&feature=youtu.be

Appreciate the comment. It is crazy when you see people splurge on things left and right when they are holding onto a five figure credit card debt. It's a slippery slope. I don't even utilize visa or mastercards. The only cards I have are American Express charge cards that get paid fully at...

I would like to point out that on most occasions, if I am initiating a new position and the trade either stays near my entry or against me, I will tune out all the noise on the internet and focus strictly on watching the market. So if the updates aren't there throughout the day constantly, it is...

Day 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8LK5vGDxQM&list=PL9qd9RGCm8pYyDEFQCwZovdnGzlTbZLkG&index=3 Not much action on the closing price compared to my entry. I did pick up an additional $600 in losses, primarily due to theta burning away. Apple has been fairly range bound now for the past 7...

Sorry, edited. I knew I was missing something.

Trade opened. Apple $592.50 calls. Expiration is this Friday. 9 contracts. $2.84 fill.

I am not going to post such private detailed information on a public forum in which I am using an identity that easily links to me. This needs to be done privately, and it needs to be done for money.

Wait, I offer a full tax return, and you come in with a 281x46x cropped image? Second of all, the bet was not on how much you make, but what I make. You said that I can't fund beyond $10k and me calling this a social experiment is bullshit. Once again, referring to the fact that I am some...

You are beyond delusional at this point if you possibly believe my only stake is at $10k. Downpruf, I have said something similar along the lines before, I will say it again. Let us put our mouth where our money is. We pick a moderator here. I will provide them with my tax returns for the...

I have now wired the remaining balance of $3,880 to a new TOS account. It will clear today but they likely wouldn't post it to my account until Thursday.

This challenge was specifically done to replicate a reasonable starting balance for a new trader. To trade options back and forth, they would need at least $25k in their account, which many would not have. I've stuck to trading futures mainly during off peak hours whenever the market is looking...

I would also like to point out that it is a bit difficult to come back to this thread right away when the very first post after posting my entry is: I was down about 7-8 points at that moment but the hate just started to come in rolling. There is obviously a personal vendetta against me here...
