Have any of yall ever follow Theta Warrior's sweeper calls?

SAVA
trying to make a bottom here?
hate to fool w/ AHs. esp. w/ a stock like SAVA

All we can do is try to do a little better everyday.

Are you strictly using long calls/puts for intraday plays or do you utilize other option strategies for single day plays also?

well, I had a frustrating losing day, for one. I executed really poorly today

• Exited $GS too early and 20% gains when I would have had 150% gains
• Got shaken out of DOCU twice on what would have been a 100% trade
• Didn't respect stops properly on AMC and MRNA
• Missed an entry into OKTA that would have payed well

My goal? Not to let it happen tomorrow.

Just copy/paste the above for me.

If TSLA goes tomorrow maybe I will recover today.

I have 200 day at 59ish. I already added some today, but put on cc's on a portion of them in case they dump it into tomorrow (which I think is likely).

Over what timeline do you have the 200 day at 59ish, and which (EMA, SMA, etc.)?

I don't have anywhere near that on any time frame (3, 6, 12 month).

200 daily moving average is at 50.30 as of today.

200 day ema on a daily chart is 59.16 (so ema is using 200 days as the interval for the calc).

Timeframe is just viewing area, but the software changes the interval (how much time a single candle equals) when you change timeframes so it makes it confusing. When I look at a chart if 1 candle is 1 day, I call it a daily chart.

For example on your computer a daily chart might be 1 Year timeframe, but on your phone is it probably 3 months timeframe for the daily.

ETA: Post above me is referencing a 200d sma, rather than the ema.

assuming the point being...
200 day is next pivot point perhaps?
could be
previous low was 65. by the time we get there - the 200d MA may be close by
expect it's gaps up in AM - but that could just be my FOMO acting up

I'm using the Adaptive EMA study from FJ that's in TOS.Here's how it looks. Even I use TOS regular EMA, it comes out to 67 or so on the 200 day.

What am I missing?



And here's the study setup for the 200 day. I tried changing the high low length to 200, didn't seem to change it (certainly not down into the high 50s).



And here's the TOS workspace.

adaptive ema is not the same as ema.

I just added the 200 day EMA and SMA to the chart.

EMA comes in around 67.41, SMA comes in about 50.30.

Trying to figure out how he got to 59ish.

Red here today too.

Intraday you can use spreads, but you need bigger moves for those to work and you have to be careful about R/R. For example, I could do a put credit spread and get $1 credit on a $5 wide spread. That's not worth it.

I just threw the 200 DEMA on the SAVA chart on Fidelity, and it comes in at 57.58.

Yahoo finance comes in at 59.14

Schwab's at 59.16.

yep, see FJ's post. I'm on tradingview and the 200 day EMA comes out to 59.16. If I were to put a bullish spin on this, I could argue that there's good support around 69 (just based on past support and resistance.

odd. I went to the fidelity webpage and added it. I got 59.15. Are you moving the cursor and not holding it at the end?

Webull shows 59.25
Schwab 59.15
TradingView 59.16

Here's ATP -

I'm most concerned about ThinkorSwim being off, that's where I live for charting.

FJ, you had TOS right? What do you get in there for the 200 DEMA?

$GMVD.

HODL

$TSLA

I think this has $730 in the cards.

TOS

when folks use the term "DEMA" .. I wonder which MA they mean honestly.
as i've mentioned.. I'm thick headed

$MSFT - first one.

This will be complicated to explain how I will try to play, so let me start with explaining paths:

• Path A - Microsoft has been hanging out near +3 ATR. It can be like $ASAN and just sit there. I plan to short MSFT on the loss of today's low ($300.40) and I want to watch how it does at the daily 8 which is $299. this is a higher risk entry. Stop loss is today's low more or less, but give it a tiny bit of room
• Alternative A - Short at loss of 8 DEMA. Stop loss is 8 DEMA. This will minimize your losses. Target is the daily 21, but if you are trading short term in weeklies, your target would be $296.71
• Path B - Microsoft continues its up trend. You would enter above $302.50, first target is $304.40, second target is $305.84, third target is just letting it ride until the trend fails. Stop loss is either entry or $301.50
• Path C - a bet that MSFT trades within a tight range for the rest of the week. You would probably do an iron butterfly with 302.5 as the center strike, 5 wide. That's $2.38 in credit and $2.62 in risk per contract. I probably won't do this.

$DOCU - it snake bit me today on day trades, but this is bullish.

September 300/320 verticals or September 300C. Stop loss at loss of the 8 or 21.

$SONO - enter above ATH 42.57, trail stops. Stop loss $41.33. Don't chase if you miss the entry.

See if this link works.

I just created a new study with EMAs for you. 5, 8, 21, 50, 100 & 200

https://tos.mx/zhLFk5U

Also if it doesn't work create a new study and add "MovAvgExponential" however many times you want. Then just change the length and color of each one to your 5, 8, 21, etc., etc.

$ACM AECOM looks great, don't like option prices.
