I am busy at work, so basically done trading for the week

+4%. If I decide to book losses on AAPL / BFT (although BFT moving great!), I will end +2%. May defer those into next week.
Congrats on yet another great week for you!

Are you trying to be assigned?

Might be time to get out of them while you're up or roll to another exp. What do you want to do with your option?

Anyone going to hold $NIO through the long weekend? The 2/19 $65C doesn't look like it's going to make it.


I am in the March dated calls with same strike, so yes.

thank you. the bad thing is it should have been +6%. I stupidly sold 255s against SQ and I took a 5% risk position in TSLA that I bailed on early, thankfully, but lost 1.5% of account value on.

Every time I touch TSLA options I lose money.
It's a no-fly zone for me.

Not at all. Disciprin (south park voice)



Still learning so working to identify patterns post-mortem so I can start seeing leading indicators. But Mc mentioned it may have been pure luck. Not sure how much I'll glean after the fact.

They've been pushing the fruit stock down to close below $135 today for a while now. Let's see if this is a flush out and it pushes higher next week.

Just took an initial take on SPY $350 Puts for Mar 19th at $1.60. Just 2% of account total.

I did notice that someone sold 1,000 of these contracts here at 10:25AM Central.

I added some SPY March 350 Puts here. Feeling a bit uneasy.


how do you size this? % of total equity?
There are guys on here much better at hedging than I am so this is just what I am doing. Probably one of my weaknesses and something I need to get a lot stronger with in both knowledge and execution. .

Short term - I buy SPY puts with no more than 3% of profits of the week. While these may be sacrificial I will 'trade' them out if decaying or roll them out. I buy these when we hit tops or highs.
Mid Term - I buy SPY puts out 6-8 weeks. Same when riding tops. Today was March 31st 350 as example. These I will use same almost as position sizing. 1-2% of account value loss ratio When they are at a point I will sell or roll. I have also used Options on SPXS.
Long Term - I have some shares of SPXU (a 30k favorite) that to a degree I just have and 'forget'. Was using UVXY as well for shares but I think Mostly Foggy is the expert on these. They should probably be traded vs set and forget them.

Weekly hedging is like insurance. I may pay the premium and not get anything for it. But be really happy if I need them.

Hope that helps and hope someone on here that is the Hedge Master chimes in so we can both learn.

What does the "Size" column refer to on this screen in ToS? Is that # of orders at that price or # of shares?

Apple has been in a 2 hours squeeze for the better part of 2 weeks.

This is building up a lot of energy.

Thanks for sharing, as always your posts have a lot of perspective.

Thanks to the collective knowledge base here and the selfless sharing I have had by far my largest week yet.

I'm not condoning anything at all, but as a thought experiment, what would you say you're projected to spend in hedges this year? And what's your breakeven correction needed for those to be worth it?
