My trades

[ironchef]

I did not follow his trades but, followed the thread. My method is different than his. The value of this thread for me is looking at areas in my trading I can improve on. His only call I took because I liked the chart was the JPM calls but, the call strike was different. He had the $115.00 Call, I bought the $116 Call. He has closed that trade. I still have mine open. Occasionally, some ticker symbols of his will match with mine like FB and NVDA. However, I have taken reversal trades that he did not. I took reversal trades on both FB and NVDA. Also, I have other trades he does not have like AEO, RUN. So, pretty much my trading is the same as it was. Some good ones like NVDA, FB just starting to move lower, RUN starting to move lower but, a huge loser for me still, AEO got hit with a gap down but, seems to be moving higher, November call so, no hurry to sell, JPM bottoming still so, still hanging on also, with a loss. I botched the exit on FB which cost me in profits, a small profit instead, of a large one. Same with the NVDA calls which I should have hung onto longer. Got 104% instead of 400%.

Thanks. Same here. I trade GOOGL and AAPL options for several years but not his approach. Mine are usually longer durations and I tried to catch reversals and breakouts.

There is a wealth of information here. I have no doubt, if I changed my approach to exits and hang on a bit more, that would boost my results by a huge amount. We cannot stop learning and trying to be better traders. It only benefits us!

Well, I followed this thread too. I'm not one to take other's advice as you all probably well know... but in one particular case I followed OI on the NTAP trade as he demonstrated dozens of times on this thread an uncanny ability to spot repeating patterns.

I purchased 4 NTAP 9/7 $79 calls shortly after their earnings at $1.85 and $1.75..... they are currently worth about $8.

It was a great call on his part. Period.

Nice trade. That is what I have to learn to do more. Hang on longer for those huge returns. I tend to sell way too soon.

Ofcourse you are studying the thread. Do you know how many people have been studying this thread??? I have heard those exact lines like 10 times in the past month. EVERYONE want's to do what this guy did. Turn 2k into 150k in 9 months. Not just that. You guys wan't to do it with no math involved, no hard work just basic technical analysis and reading the daily news. This is unbelievable. I am not to sure why I am even posting on this. I must be super bored, just a loser or both.

You're a piker looking to a fraud to show you that it's possible..

Amen. Options arent easy and are very complex. Everyone seems to think you can do this without knowing the math behind them, the greeks, the way options work. They want a simple way (direction) and see this guy doing (fake) within their ability. It just dosent work that way..its a fraud. That's why he has no proof. Everyone says it dosent matter if he shows or not but it does if he wants anyone to believe he is doing what he says. It's not possible the way hes doing it, and what he claims to have done. I dont believe it. Anyone who does is a fool. He is soliciting something privately thats why he keeps up the charade. Baron should ban him, and I am just happy to see Baron is taking an active role in outing the frauds and trying to make this forum better, Bravo.

I dont play betting games with bums that can't pay up. You know how many dice games in my neighborhood have broke out into shootings over people that don't pay up? You dont want to bet with me bro.

You have a reputation here of making bets and not paying them, when are you gonna pay your competition bet that you lost?
