Was news already announced, spy jumped

Starting to feel like Powell is like Homeland security after 9/11. Speaks so often about threat/rates, eventually no one cares to listen.

What was in those notes? SPY rocket

Set sell limit for 2/5 of my position on CLOV at 11.20 as per Model T. What was the high on the day? 11.23. Freakin' magical o darn near top ticked it. Sick call OA. Going to let the rest of the position work.

Edit: Mid $9.00's average.

Well, that's going to make a complicated outside bar to follow because on just about every intraday time frame the next bar will be inside.

Dumb question..

If I'm expecting gains in the market price of a stock, is there a way to set an order that triggers above a certain price and then executes the sell if it falls back below?

Did someone say target $11.20 on CLOV for actioning mass accumulation buys?

---

Hit 11.23 this morning. Does that mean we have the green light for mass accumulation? Or wait until it stays above?

---

i think you are backwards.

i think OA's point is that whatever you were stocking up on during it's bottom recently, this is the level where you want to start making your next moves. eg. selling off some shares, options, or whatever.

And SPY is TTM_Squeezing on the 5m,10m,15m,20m,30m,60m,120m, and 240m charts. Dayum.

Stop buy order with a stop loss order accompanying it. Bracket orders are possible in TOS but I don't know how to do them

I already own the stock. I want to maximize gains. A standard limit order would sell once its hit. I want an order that "turns on" once a target is reached, sells if it hits a higher target, but also sells if it doesn't hit the high target and falls below the original target.

Example:

Market Price $1.00
1st trigger (which would become my stop once triggered): $1.20
2nd trigger (want it to sell the second this is hit): $1.25

Guaranteeing myself a sell between $1.20 and $1.25.

Only reason I ask is my day is about to get crazy busy and I'd love to just book something like this for one of my trades and then walk away.

what does Apple normally do post earnings? That's how to plan a trade.

I'd be more inclined to do put credit spreads on an apple earnings trade.

---

What are you thinking?

129/132 is 1.06 currently.

---

Never saw a reply but I went ahead with this put credit spread trade.

Stop limit orders allow you to specify both a stop and limit price.

oldarmy1 - you mentioned MGTI yesterday as warming up. What are you seeing there on that one?

This is doable in TOS but above my pay grade.

Higher than the current market?

I thought it was only lower than market when selling?

Any thoughts on $F earnings tonight?

I didn't catch that. Why wouldn't you set a straight limit order then?

So we find out if FOMC meeting affects SPY

Because I want to maximize gains while I'm not able to be actively watching it. I want to go for my ultimate limit order but have it sell before a dive if it doesn't quite hit it

Depends on your platform.
In StreetSmart Edge and TOS you set a limit order with a bracket for a stop.

$DK calls starting to work for anyone in with me.

Strong finish please

I believe in TOS it's close w/ OCO bracket

Which lets you set a limit order and a stop order

Got some on that dip this morning.

Looking for another dip with Jerome speaking to grab more.

Thinking I might focus the other way on a SPY scalp.

If hard dip and bounce at 416.50 will add on 5/7 420c

---

Out of this trade.

$1.93 entry < $2.32 exit.

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately it's still trading close to my costs basis. I do have some May $17.5c out, but sold those before this run up.

Since the expectation is for CLOV to still run before year's ends and we're still below the original mass accumulation target below $13.50, am I in the clear to keep buying or wait for another dip? My concern was it hitting above $11 and then flying past $13.50.

Doesn't look like we're getting a dip, agree?

TOS allows submission/cancellation of orders based on conditional statements (symbol/method/trigger/threshold). Possibly a stop limit with a condition submission at your 1st stop price?
