The Super Terrific Happy Hour

No f'ing way! I just sold TTM for 2.27 (BxA was 2.05 x 2.35). I stuck my limit order at 2.05 (this thing has so little liquidity that if you try to walk a limit order towards the bid, the spread will widen).

That's a 141% gain. Would have 117% at my limit order. Yay for 24% gains on a lucky fill!

Gotta love when you place a close order expecting the commissions to hit your bottom line, and the market value goes...UP :D

The doji on the Bombay chart could very well signal this one continuing sky-wards tomorrow, but it could also signal reversal. It wouldn't be the first time that opportunistic bullishness in NY was punished by India on this one. I'm happily out of this one either way.

LOL, getting a broker error in your favour means you are in the unicorn zone on the hot crazy matrix.

99.99% of the time any time you deal with a broker, a spread, or shitty software you are taking it up the hoop.

We should all sip a glass of champagne with you, cause you just hit a hole in one. It will never work out that way again. :D Infact you should probably withdrawl that money before they get any ideas.

I see this reasonably regularly on very liquid options, but always OTM. I've never seen it cross the mid-point with a spread this large (or for that matter, gotten a better fill than limit with a spread this large). I've also never seen it on an ITM option.

Seriously, the liquidity on this one was me. My opening (6/30) and closing transactions were consecutive.

Looks like someone bought up a long fly on 33-34-35 for 0.04 debit.

Good day finished up about 1700 CARA and ES speak for themselves, NRG was kind of interesting because of what i missed, i nailed NRG once then a second time twice the size, and felt good but i was really thinking about it at 19.50 at likr 12:00, the very end of the chart, when it put in a bull flag that is a very high quality setup, i should have taken it a third time at 19.50, but didnt want to push my luck cause i hadnt missed up until that point. Talked myself out of a good trade.

I cut this chart down so you can see what i mean in real time, but when a stock that is breaking out starts putting a bull flag like that at 19.50, when its already held the bottom, that should be like an automatic buy. We all know how it ended up but i blew it on that one.

It went sideways for a bit after that before it exploded so its hard to say i would have held it but when it starts putting in that curl at 19.50 thats the time to load the boat.

And here is how NRG ended up of course, lol.

Sounds almost like dark books on stocks where you get filled between the spread but i didnt think there was dark books on options.

Did you see Square today? Good call.

I'd have a hard time missing that--it's been my biggest winner the last two days--FB would have been today, but had a collar on that since the last time it poked above 154.50. SQ's move was just an analyst saying PayPal should buy it (they should, but I hope they don't). But I don't care about day-to-day for SQ...They'll be bought out or be a forever dividend stock before I let that one go.

I don't trade single leg options enough to really know it intimately, but I've seen it a few times before. Usually it's closing only the short leg of a debit spread on a market order. But above limit fills are a weekly occurrence for me with my options.
