ROKU poppin.
Sold my FB calls yesterday at peak. My noob gut was saying hold and make more profit, but a voice from this thread kept saying "it's always good to take your profits now and re-enter later".

Alright all you ROKU cats and kittens. There is supply at 123.87 on the 60 minute chart that it slightly over ran to 124. It will need to reclaim that and then it should be free to move towards 129.6
keep going SQ keep going!!!!!!
Took 1/4 off my SQ here. Thanks OA.

Key looks to be patient. Looks like open was dominated by sellers but buyers are taking back control.
SDC just wont breakout much past 7. Been trying past few days.
In and Out of DAL for 25%.
Man, once you really start drawing lines at support/resistance, it's amazing how those lines remain relevant weeks later. Charting has been an eye-opener to how price movement actually works. You can read about it all you want..
I think taking some SQ profits here makes sense. Use the $67 flash to take up to 50% off the table.

Somewhere in the past month, someone posted a link on here to a calculator for figuring option premium price. Does anyone remember that or have that link? I'd like to avoid going back through 50 pages or so...
Something I don't understand about the calculators is how there is a risk of loss on a covered call. For example:
- I have shares of APA at around $18 basis that I'd like to get rid of.
- I managed to sell 6/19 calls at $20 for $0.50.
I estimate that my gain is either $50 or $2.50 per share, but the calculator says there is risk of up to 10% loss. How is that possible?
SDC going off.
Congrats to all you manic guys that held onto NFLX!
Go SDC!

Only have one contract. Lesson learned... Get more contracts in order to sell to close on the way up

I have a question, for some reason I feel like my RUBI status is delayed on ThinkorSwim. Anybody else experiencing this?

I'm at home for at least another month, and I'm gonna give Manic a try after all the talk on here. Someone want to send me a referral?

Whatcha think? Someone know something? Or is this another technique of a large buyer trying to hide their moves?IrishTxAggie said:

Then don't sweat it. Markets look stable still. The Put/Call strategy is off the table due to that happening. Fun while it lasts and it will be back.zwhag2010 said:

On the May 15th $280 Puts I sold some on the drop and bought May 1st $292.50 Calls at $1.20. Sorry that was all in real time on Twitter feed due to time constraints. I since sold the Calls at $1.80 and bought back a few of the puts with profits - for longer strategy.

It looks to me like they're positioning themselves for the "sell in May and go away". If it occurs then they'll close those out at a pretty good profit. JMOMaximus_Meridius said:Whatcha think?

I have learned so much these last 2-3 weeks from you all - THANK YOU!
1. It's fascinating looking at the charts y'all post with different resistance points and how accurate they can be for target points, I guess both from thinking through entry and exit points... and timing/strike prices to target. I think that's the biggest thing I've learned so far.
2. The other is this somewhat unhealthy tug-of-war in feelings and behavior where you have to be patient with these options yet at the same time be able to move quickly on them. Too often at the first sign of things going negative, I bail to lock in any profits or to minimize any losses.... just to see the values rebound in a matter of10 minutes. Not always, but from a patience standpoint you gotta have some huevos.

A .75 x 3. (Was .85 x 1 when I first started typing this out.)

and a current price of .70
Maybe just not a lot of volume?
Well they are a day behind me but went out a month further. Interesting. I joined the $230P because when you see that dual strategy what is happening is they are banking the $270Puts somewhere on what they think will be new lows. Anywhere near $230 and they'll use the Puts as hedge against going long on SPY. So for $2 if things work as they hope they might get $40-70 SPY recovery bounce.Maximus_Meridius said:Whatcha think?

So, just to make sure I'm following here, the play is figuring a low of around 270, and the 230 is just a hedge in case SHTF because the premiums are so low?oldarmy1 said:Well they are a day behind me but went out a month further.
