Just give me 3 buck gapper in May and I'll ride off with a 160K plus profit.
So funny story this morning about VEON. Someone canceled their sell at .20 and the ask popped to 10 bucks. It was showing 5 bucks as mark on the June 2c.
I looked up and saw my P/L for the Day over a Million bucks. I quickly started scrolling and found VEON and knew instantly it was not real.
Sigh....

When I first started, I would manually look at charts every evening after work. During the week, I would review the high beta stocks after the workday for trades but would wait until the weekend to review lots more charts. On the weekends, I would review all the Nasdaq composite and the S&P 500 stocks. The weekends are good to review fundamentals too for longer term plays. I look at moving averages, squeezes, daily volume, trendlines, gaps, chart patterns, and then see how the indexes look. That's a pretty basic approach; alot of these guys use scans and more sophisticated techniques to find setups but I learned alot just by looking at charts manually starting out.PetroAg11 said:
Beginner question. How do y'all screen stocks to find potential set ups? All the ones on my watch list are the ones mentioned in this thread, but I was wondering how people find set ups for ones not mentioned here. Thanks
Try setting up a scan setting on your platform that is first related to volume. Start with a minimum of shares per day such as 500k+ to weed out the noise that doesn't have liquidity to work with.PetroAg11 said:

You are going to have to pay 7.50(as of now) to get out of your April 27P position, so at the least I would look for a position that covers that, so you don't lose any money.Cookiemonster64 said:
Looks like FUBO popped after hours so I may be late in asking, but looking for generic strategy/advice on option plays.
I sold $27 Apr 30p for $3.34 on one of those liquidation FUBO days. Clearly moved early on that as it continued to slide. Don't mind having the shares though.
Here's my question, earlier today, the $25 May 21p was going for around $6.70 while the $27 Apr 30p was around $7.05. I was thinking I should close out my Apr 30p and sell the $25 May 21p....to me this seems like it would have lowered my cost basis to near $22/shr if I were assigned in May versus $23.66/shr if assigned in April under my current arrangement.
Seemed like a no-brainer, but made me think if it was such a no-brainer move then I'm clearly missing something as a newb. Thoughts from the board? What am I missing here besides balls and a brain?
Think I speak for the whole community here.....we are all hoping you figure it out.$30,000 Millionaire said:
something else I meant to tell you all - my company is starting to shift its narrative on working from home. The other people in functions similar to mine have all started to show up at least a day a week, to signal to the work force that on-site presence is expected. I have both vax shots, I'm going in tomorrow. I'm not excited about it.
This means I will have less opportunity to day trade, especially when we start to have in person meetings. Pre COVID, it was routine for me to not be at my desk during the entire work day. I was primarily an SPX and shares trader then. I will figure out how to balance it all.
we are back 50% right now and will be 100% June 1.$30,000 Millionaire said:

Of course I sold my CLOV for about a 50% loss last week.
Y'all will be jealous when taxes roll around and I have a huge short term capital gains loss.

Glad the market has been a bit choppy lately. We were getting a thousand posts a day and this place was becoming impossible to keep up with. Now everyone has realized they better not quit their real job lol.

Technical pattern question-is an upside down cup and handle a bearish indicator? I never see it discussed here, and haven't taken time to do a deep dive into it.
