Option trading for a newbie

Hi couscous, I have worked with Core Option too and felt fine with it, it wasn’t amazing though. What I like is that I’ve been told it has faster execution, and Tradeview runs it so it is comfortable to have the account with the same broker who I have my Forex with.
 
Sold those 6 JOYG Dec. 22.5 calls at this morning at $3.00. My gains here are $810.10. My account is now at $15,767.40

I'd say another nice and solid trade. Where's the guy doing credit spreads that wanted to sell me his options? I'll take it. :D
 
Bought 6 NKE Dec. 50 calls at $2.30 for ($1394.95)

Bought 7 FDX Dec. 65 puts at $1.45 for ($1029.95)

Looking to add more profits onto my tiny account.
 
Sold those 6 NKE calls at $2.75 and closed out 7 FDX puts at $1.60 with more gains coming in. Gains on NKE was $240.10, and gains on FDX was $75.10. Small additions, but I'm finally showing some light woooohoooo.

Account is now at $16,082.60.
 
Bought 7 RIMM Dec. 40 puts at $2.03 for ($1,435.95)

Bought 10 ACN Dec. 30 calls at $1.25 for ($1,264.95)

I think earnings are tonight, we'll see what happens tomorrow. :D :D
 
I sold the 7 RIMM puts for a loss at $0.89. First loss so far. The loss was -$778.90.

I did sell ACN for $2.75 getting a nice return there. The gain was $1470.00.

My account is now at $16,773.70. I think I might have enough for a nice Christmas present to the wife. :D
 
After looking at all the possible trades, I think I'm done for the year. Nothing left to ponder. Put a nice $2,000 in my pocket over the last 3-4 months. I did lose about $2,000 before making $4,000 this past 3 weeks, so I'm up $2,000. Wish every one a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
 
Back from my mini vacation and I still have the same amount. I decided not to take anything out of this account. Let's make some profit in 09.

Bought 10 APOL Jan. 85 calls at $1.60. APOL reported some good earnings and I could be looking at a nice return. Too bad I missed the MON trade. Oh well, can't catch them all.
 
:D :D :D :D :D :D Just couldn't hold the calls any longer. I sold my 10 APOL calls at $3.90 and my gain is +$2,270.00.

My account is now at $19,043.70
