Weinstein Trading and Fading

Quote from NoDoji:

Bob, it's just a minor loss in a majorly MAJOR month, and I think you absolutely did the right thing. How many times have we as traders started risking a more of a loss only to keep edging it until, as you say, it "gets away" from us? I sure have.

My pre-market NTES issue was similar. I thought "Well, I could risk my disaster loss amount of $500 and maybe it would turn around. But at the time there was no way of knowing, and the information I had available to me indicated more downside than upside potential, so I stuck with my $250 rule, before it became a possible $500 disaster loss.

After the fact, it's easy to say "coulda shoulda", but you made the right decision when it really mattered.

Hi NoDoji,

Thanks for saying so. Sorry and I am unsure how I did it but somehow I lost your post in my replies.

I have to agree. Not good to live in the woulda coulda shoulda world. Still like to think about all of my trades in terms of how to take the 'destruction' out of 'discretion' : o )

Nice trading today yourself. Your doing great!!

Bob

Not the same as yesterday but a good day regardless

It was a rather slow day though. My trading was done rather early today but I was able to make some gains.

SVNT jumped up once again. Second time in three days that it gapped up.

SVNT + 1096

I am also looking at STEC for a swing trade to the short side. Will follow it again tomorrow and see how the price action works out.

Turn around Thursday

I am writting this before the day is done but so far it does appear that the overall market is going to have a chance of closing higher today after three down days. STEC continues its climb higher and I have started to short it. I will be looking for a retrace in the STEC move.

NNI was a quick scalp
NNI + 33

I did get some signals today and made some other trades as well.
CI + 424

WPI + 419

Started out a bit early with HLTH as well as went larger than normal size due to the price of the stock and paid dearly for it. I missed the merger news so I have John in the chat to thank for pointing that out to me.
HLTH – 6801

Hi Jack,

yes I would agree and thank you for asking.

I do have a live news feed quack box type from hold bros. and I also have the routers feed with IB. I do also check Yahoo news sometimes as well.

Of course having a news feed and using a news feed is two different things......LOL

As often as I have been 'burned' by not first checking the news (first time in over a year) and the limited amount of time I have to put on most of the trades I have to accept a HTML once in a while : o )

I hope your day was better than mine and best to you on Friday

Robert
 
Friday option expiration day.

I spend quite a bit of time looking for mispriced options but did not find any. Not all that uncommon as I normally only find them about once every two or three months.

Exited STEC today. Will be looking to short again if it makes another push higher.

STEC + 225

I do have some options that I wrote expiring today so thats nice. They dont show up in my IB PnL so I manually add them here

LVS JUN 2.50 puts + 401

LVS JUN 5 calls + 510
LVS stock called - 309

GE JUN 13 Calls + 582
GE JUN 12 Calls + 151
GE stock called - 437

With GE I also did not have the stock covered with the JUN 13 calls exercised so I sold SEPT 13 calls for .82 each
