Market going no where fast today!!!

anyways sold 20 Dec 15 GLBL@.20, this effectively adjusted my cost basis to 12.65. Also my profit is capped at 18.6% if the price reach 15 or beyond.

bought 1000 of knot@10.54.

trying to sell 20 DEC 7.5 VISG.
 
Hello magic,

nice pick visg,
looks good to me , keep up the good work :)


although why you writing calls though? thats like 3% interest or something ain't it ? :D
 
cool,

yeah I notice that too and cancel the VISG calls no one is going to buy that...lol

sold 500 knot @10.70.....this is right before the bounce up....its now at 10.82...GAH!!!! that what I get for taking a break for lunch...
 
Well I am done for today. The Knot trade had good a setup, I didn't wait long enough to take the maximum profit but any profit was good profit.

the setup

Earning came out last Thursday, but it was lower then last year earning. The stock was lower on thursday and friday morning with volume but there was no obvious bounce up by the close. I knew If there was a dip this morning I would buy and hold for the bounce. The stock was completely in the oversold territory for the past 3 days. Well I did catch the front end of the bounce which is better then a loss. Notice the long term trend of the stock is up, the up bounce is inevitable.

GAH....IB and its cryptic SMA...

forced liquidation of 600 VISG@5.39.....with net of around $120

Ok can someone explain this to me?
I have 21k starting, isn't my overnight margin is 42K?
I added up all my position and I only come up with
GLBL calls +400
GLBL puts +1200
GLBL stock +25700
VISG stock +10380
total = 37680 Clearly I am within my margin right?

after total = 34446
 
short 2000 VISG@5.79

cover 500 VISG@5.70
cover 1000 VISG@5.68
cover 500 VISG@5.63

net around $200

short VISG near intraday high looked for buy back on a nice dip but didn't get there because of positive news about acquisition, covered for some gain. For the rest of the day and tomorrow looking to go long on VISG again.

So how do you like the KNOT bounce today!!!! I didn't have enough margin yesterday to hold until today I would have made 1K... but my rule is take what you can get!
 
todays log is below.

What a day for profit taker for the stocks on my watch list. To bad I wasn't one of them....huhuhu

tomorrow looking for entry into BTUI,IVIL,VISG and ODSY.

Well I am not looking forward to the delay earning report on GLBL so I scaled out of my position. their main base of operation is in the GoM and it was pounded by 3 hurricane in Q3. I expect a lower earning report with a price dip coming after. I will re-enter after consolidation.

500 GLBL@13.01
500 GLBL@13.05
500 GLBL@13.11
500 GLBL@13.14

for a net of around $400.
