Your biggest %Percentage% winner?

[billsafari]

Lately, with the volatility I'm sure there are some big winners out there.

My biggest is not really so big. Only 641%

When I do well in a week I like to take a little extra risk on exp. Normally I trade expiration regardless.

I've been trading Bidu exclusively( a little GS) for a few months and have a good feel for her.

On thurs Aug 4(or there abouts) she rallied a tad and bought some puts ( about $3 or 4 OTM) around close. She gapped down the next morning.

Bought @.17 sold @ 1.26.

I've never seen options move so fast. Someone sold their puts for 5.20 a few milla seconds before me. They went from 5.20 to .80 in a blink of an eye.

I was happy with the 641% but I was extremely disappointed I was too slow to capture more. I use TDA, maybe thats my problem.

Hey guys what's your most expensive home worth? Mine's not really so much, only $8,000,000.

Hey guys what's your best time when running the mile? Mine's not really so fast, only 1 minute 31 seconds.

Hey guys what's the most you've ever squatted? Mine's not really so much, only 2,000 pounds.

I made two spikes on TSLA and a few spikes on shorting EK before earnings.

Probably not a good thread considering most on here are chasing nickels or making 50 round trips a day to make two ticks.

Besides I only had 30 contracts so I didn't make a gazillion dollars. Thats why I asked in % percentage terms and not dollar terms.

Nevermind people.
