Absolutely wait for confirmation. We will see it happening. When we do, we will ride the wave. I've learned that it's not necessary to be at the very beginning. Just don't be at the end. Also, trading off if confirmations is the only way to avoid losses.

Good call!

Waiting for confirmation..Trust that's a costly lesson i've learned.

@Tito_Jackson what do you think about selling put options on the airline stocks?

I don’t think this vaccination news is long lasting and there will be another drop of of today’s highs, which will effect the airlines, entertainment industry, etc.

Man, airlines will absolutely dive again. Especially once the media starts to tell the public that the vaccine is still a long way away. Lol!!!

It will definitely be this week. Maybe as early as tomorrow. Let's keep an eye out during tomorrow's PM.

Think or Swim desktop app is what I use. I do not care for the mobile version for trading. I just use it (mobile app) for monitoring and alerts.

The charting, scanners, news, alerts are what keeps me using it as my main. I like WeBull's desktop and mobile apps also. They are a lot newer but do not have all of the bells and whistles of TOS.

I really like this guys videos. :yes:

Only problem is if you're max out on funds.

It's hard to buy more!

Definitely Very hard to keep buying more like that.. i dnt have that much cash sitting around waiting on nothing...but some things i take and keep them on the back burner when i can. Like today i was able to get some Cubesmart it dropped to the price i wanted so the trigger hit and so did i...

Always wait for confirmation and personally never trade the opening 30 minutes of the market.

Sold for a minor loss playing a bullish position. But, Ofcourse, the market decided to sell off.

Still learning... but I bought 2 Puts and tripled my money in an hour... if I had the comfort levels that some of you guys "appear" to have, I could have made a killing. Just not ready to extend too far... baby steps.


I'm still not comfortable with puts. I'm doing a ppr trade PLUG put to see how if goes (Dec 4 / $20 strike)

So continuing my options testing, I bought a .20 ($60 call) option of PFSI yesterday. I sold it for .45 earlier today. Now, I look at it and its going for 1.53.
:dunno:

Always take profits and be happy. That greed will kill you with options if the price action goes in the other directions. Trust!
As quickly as it can go to .45, 1.53 it can easily go to .15, .05 in a blink of an eye.

My biggest losses have been because of greed and trying to get just a "little" more profit.

Up and down day broke even on SPY puts, made some quick cash on $INTC knowing the AAPL Mac event was today and got into some further out positions after this latest rotation. Grabbed $ACB to explore the weed stocks and that bitch put an offering like immediately after my shit closed :hmm:

I have some great $NIO positions but $MU got me hemmed up right now. I’m getting more comfortable scaling up position sizes and holding through volatility but I’m on the wrong side of that one for now. I held through SNAP when I was in a similar boat and did really well.

Main thing I’m mad about is FRT I was ready to load up on Friday after I get paid and that bitch is up over $30 now since Monday. Still undervalued but damn. I’m gonna see if the market bring it down after people realize vaccine ain’t gonna be for a min.

I don't know how you keep track of all that.

Cutting down my watchlist. I really only watch like 9 tickers now plus $SPY in my trading account. After that I only focused on the news and price movement on that smaller set of companies and ignored the rest. Once you do that you'd be surprised how much you will know in terms of what drives movement, good entry prices, etc. The main things I listed were part of that 9. The ones where I fucked up like $ACB weren't. I just speculated on a few things and messed up.

My main investment brokerage account has even less positions. I have 2 main ones $VTI and $BND. I just started looking at $FRT and $O to add out a REIT position but both of them are already in $VTI

Bruh - there are analysts on wall street whose entire job is to follow one company (if it is big enough). You can eat off of one stock if you master its movement.

They made an announcement this morning on the news about Beyonce joining $PTON. Expect a slight uptick in sales over the next few months. Option play possibly till December.

I didn't know that. That's wild to think that all they have to do is look at one company. I have some long term call options that I put some more money into cause its "safer". The in and out swing trade stuff if what I am working on getting better at. Set myself a goal to consistently gain $500 a week. Once I do that for 3 weeks I will move up to $1k.

Caught DDOG from $83.25. Got nervous for the first 15 mins, but it ran. Whew...

The last squeeze position for UPWK was overtaken today. I'm thinking it will go down from here.

I believe yahoo finance used to list the names of them but if you need one from a specific company just drop the ticker and I’ll post it.
