Well, you can still share it now. If I have to guess, you start out with a 25 pts SL and after each big upmove you move it accordingly. Correct?

I still don't see how would you have been able to lock in more than what you eventually did, unless you had tigthened up the SL....

Order to sell remainder at 40.75

Could be more upside before the day is over. Two gaps back to back. If gap doesn't fill today and gaps AH, probability of gap filling tomorrow is high. Have to see where we close today.

was thinking the same thing however it may take a few days to pan out. we did bounce earlier off a nice trend line that dates back to 6/4 so it looks like that area was defended. the risk is closing below that trend line which is currently is at about 1335. if it takes that level out at the close, the next area of stops could be resting at 30.5, 28, and then way down at 19.75 which we could easily hit tomorrow.

AAPL earning tomorrow amc. that should make things move a bit.

(51-42) x 2 contracts = 18 points (less spread) ~ 17.5 point gain

2nd consec. gap down, 20+, is the opposing force.

Now the "guaranteed" line is at 44, where the futures were at the cash's close. Right after the close it dropped 6 pts, but that was made back pretty fast after futures reopened. Basicly anything under 44 is a buy...

That will do little pig, that will do.

The rule played out nicely 3 times in AH, gap closed. If you missed the dips after the close or at 4 am, there was still a 3rd chance between 6:30 and 8 am to get long for a "guaranteed" pay off.... :)

P.S.: I apologize for not posting trades, just profitable set ups....
