iceman's options trading journal

Quote from iceman1:

sold AAPL Jan 7250 puts @$147.50
covered Jan 75 puts@ 1.4 (waaayy too soon)
sold Feb 75p @2.70
sold my long January 80c @ 2.90


however- when you are 'wrong' you gotta look back at things objectively- and acknowledge it. I have been trading against the tend in AAPl and not just "a trend" but a strong trend

even though I stand by my comment that AAPL will get hammered on earnings release -- in hindsight I should have been long AAPL calls - not short puts/short stock. Essentially I'm breaking even on this. Now that's a waste of energy

:eek: :eek:

AND- aapl still hasn't release earnings - so who knows where the top is. However I am standing by my opinion that AAPL gets sold off at that time (Jan 18th). But by then who knows how much upside may have been missed

when I saw Steve was going to speak - it was obvious (almost) that the stock could jump. HOWEVER we don't know for sure. IF he had said something even slightly negative it could have sold off to <72. And further anyone ever heard of "sell on good news". :D

closed Feb 75p @ 1.45 (+125)
re-sold Jan 80c @ 3.60 (+250 cum. total)
bought Feb 85 calls @ 3

selling Feb 80p if I can get >4 today (keep dreaming)

plan is to sell short Jan 80c on any pop to >8250 - then take delivery of stock on expiry 20th
 
Don't take this personally... but you have a strong-tendency to post prices on winning offsets, but not on losers. It makes it impossible to see how you're actually doing.

You stated in late-05 that you were going to post journal trades that were at least decipherable.

There are others, but at what price did you offset the following?:

sold AAPL Feb 80c @ 3.30-340

And what does it mean to sell a call at "330-340"? Do you mean an average sale at $3.35?

true

but for example-- AAPL Feb 80c are unrealized pnl - so I did not post that

or for example- the AAPL Feb 7250p (-300) are unrealized pnl- so that by Feb they may be ITM-
 
Quote from riskarb:

Ohh, OK. I thought you'd offset the calls.

riskarb--

you are correct - it would serve my interest as well to post each position in a more clear and precise manner - showing open pnl and closed pnl.

So - after I clean the slate on Jan expiry (even if I take delivery of some underlying) -- I am going to do just that.


just re-sold 5 AAPL Feb 75 puts for 1.85
exited long Jan 80c AAPL calls near contract highs (3.60)
PD position working out - looking to re-sell the 140p for third time in this expiry cycle


still short 400 AAPL @ approx 74+ (-2000)
