Bought 10 contracts QQQ 100.00 Oct03 calls at $0.24 (Last Attempt)

  • QQQ at $98.96
  • Bought 10 contracts QQQ 100.00 Oct03 calls at $0.24
  • QQQ has been in a tight trading range for 1 month
  • Strong resistance at $100.00
  • QQQ price target $101.00+

This is my 5th - and last - attempt at catching a QQQ breakout above $100.00. All 4 previous trades were placed on a Wednesday, 2 days before expiry. This trade has been moved to Tuesday because it's the last day of this quarter and November 1st could be a big mover for the markets - last year QQQ was up 1% on November 1, 2013.

Lets see what the next 3 days brings. Will I get that breakout?




  • Total P/L: -$260.00 (-100%)

OP, what happened to editing your post, changing "buy" to "sell" and then claiming a win as you have done in the past? Get with the program, will ya?

Isnt Nov 1st some 30 days away? Not three days...you could very well be right abt Nov 1




Yes ....... that is a typo. November should be October.

IMO, when you want to follow the trend, YOU MUST wait retracements.
Here, USD90/92 zone COULD be a good price IF 90 HOLDS. Old RESISTANCE becomes SUPPORT.
MA200 in yellow would be a SUPPORT too.
Daily RSI is just BELOW 50 (49.68), IMO good timing for a CORRECTION.

FF, your timing seems to be off. With decent timing anything is possible. Add a little option strat. and you can improve odds.
