My option trades

In truthness, I started the thread to keep me in check, because I always wonder off with too many trades about 2-3 months into a zone where my confidence can jump too high. I'm starting to feel that already....but that's where this thread I keep will keep telling me that I only have a small profit to show so far.

I post my trades for the same reason. That being, to make sure I only invest in what i consider "good trades".
When everyone knows what my trades are in real time, it keeps me from speculating in crap, when I can't find value. It keeps me disciplined.
The last trade i posted on the part 2 thread was my $25 CNW put.

Looks like JOSB could be set for a rally instead of a selloff. Well, still holding PVH long 90s and have 2 TFM 60/65 spread at $2.50.

You guys are missing some good posts over in the other My Option Trades thread. I suggest you close this thread and continue on the new thread.

Well, looks like JOSB is pulling higher beating eps and revenue. The nontrade turns out to be a good idea.

TFM also reported and this is the one I'm watching. $0.28 on $313M with both numbers better than expectations. Shares are setting up around $64 arlready. I'll probably leg out of this one too and end up with extra positions. Just going to be careful with that.

Please do as you say and remain on the other thread. That's my only request. You said it yourself that this thread is dead so move on too.

Added 2 aapl aug 31 2012 680 calls at $3.70

Yep, just can't get out of this trade, it works well for weeklys from time to time. I'll take my chances.

Had to change my mother board in the computer and lost all my bookmarks. I had one for ATR numbers, for any stock, but now cannot find the original site. Anybody else use it? Would like to find it again.

LOL - I suggest you give up option trading. You lost your mojo a long time ago.

Okay, I took some losses.....Had to switch positions around....took a loss on TFM, I sold 1 call and bought back 2 short, with 1 TFM still opened. Clearly a loss. I sold the CMG put position for gain, and just took a few dollar profit on PVH. AAPL was a horrible loss too over -$400 stop setup at $1.50 and triggerred in hours. At the end of day I went from $2900 back to $2347.72.

Playing it a little off, not sticking to my earnings....so I'm positioning myself to earnings only.

bought 3 MW 31 put at $1.70, 2 PAY 34 put at $1.50 avg. and legged into 2 ULTA 94/99 spread at $2.30 avg. All earnings play for this week. Don't have a good feeling about this market, just not rallying the way it's suppose to on a day like today.
