My problem is that his fills are always way lower than his alert. Example, he called our TWLO 5/15 at a $6 fill. I checked instantly and it was at $7. So of course I didn't chase it. But, TWLO ran big anyways so I missed out. Other times that's happened and then he'll shortly say "20% up, manage risk" and I check the position and it's only up like 5%.

Anyone have thoughts on FSLY ?

I'm in on 5/15 40C in a lotto type of way.. got in at 13 cents.. .flashed to 42, didn't bite, learning lesson now...

Looking at the 5 day chart on TDameritrade looks like a big head and shoulders forming.. which I think signals bearish moves upcoming...

Anyway, just curious if anyone else is in this week after their explosion last week up!

Thanks

You talking about Sam or the Duck? If sam, I know what you mean and it's one of the reasons I stopped following him, it made me chase too much. He'd say "buy TSLA 800c @7" and it'd be like 19 less than 20 seconds after he posted

I also want to be clear that I am not a hack for Sam. He is not infallible by any means, and anyone thinking about trying him out, should go in with the same expectations of other services. We've stayed with him this long because his service pays for itself in the first trade of the month. He has his share of losers, and his win percentage may not be what it was the last time I tracked. He, like others, struggles in choppy markets and did not do as well on the way down 8 weeks ago as he did on the way up the previous year. He is as cocky as the day is long, and has a very unique posting style that rubs people the wrong way. You can see some of that in his public twitter feed. The one poster here that I know of who signed up, has already dropped him because it seems they think he may not be legit. I don't believe that to be true in following him since August, but to each their own. It could also be that he likes the other services more.

I can tell you based on what I've followed in this thread, he is much better than Manic.

Can you tell me the exact time duck posted his TWLO trade? I'd like to compare it to when Sam posted. That is a huge spike in premium from his entry to what you saw when you looked. I expect it to move and have posted my thoughts on that before, but that seems way too far of a spread from what I see on a regular basis after Sam posts.

Lemme know how you guys are doing with duck. Apparently he had a monster day.

he had a good day.

I got screwed however when I followed Manic into TSLA. I hate that stock, and I was stupid... (Not blaming Manic... my fault). We shall see what happens in the morning... But the hole I nearly dug myself out of, I may have re-dug!

When I say stupid, TSLA is just all over the place because of ELON. When they said the plant was opening, I jumped only to discover, that what was really happening was that ELON had tweeted part of the story. I didn't do my DD.

Manic buy prices are more realistic. I think today will be a bad day with my nflx from Friday and tsla.

The duck is in Sam's private twitter and I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the room as well. I'd imagine there is at least a little overlap.

It was 8:32am when he posted that he was buying in TWLO 185 weekly C at 6

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Sam posted 185s at 8:31 with a fill at 5. That I think is a little bit of the power of the services and people following their lead. A full dollar one minute later when duck posted and another dollar one minute after that when you saw it. Today also being that they posted right at the bell along with any other volume coming on those.

should be a good day for both of them. Currenlty I am in

AMD, BABA, DIS, FEYE, INO (loser it seems), MSFT, NFLX, NIO, SE, TSLA, UBER, and X (small pos, but loser)

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Yeah tough day so far, even my hedges are down big

premarket lately is a wet dream. Wake up to the opening and it is just a mess

missed twlo and bynd today. i play the wrong ones all the time. missed most of the homeruns

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

I went ahead and exited TSLA. Agree on that one, never again...

i keep saying but when i don't, get is like a 7 bagger

I don't think anybody actually got in on BYND. I looked right when they posted and it was already at $2.

i could have, but i was for a rip back down. shame on me

That NVDA buy

bought when the whole market went down

Yeah the options game is not for me. Too much nursemaiding necessary. I think I'm going to buy shares off of pivots and only buy options when I see those crazy cheddar flows of nonstop green action like with BYND and PTON. I've been watching my screen non stop for like 2 months, 40 hours a week while also In the office, and I have a whopping $4k to show for it. Not worth it.

---

yep.

Last monday and tuesday were good. Rest was choppy and risky. Missed the big ones and bought the bad ones. Too many trades going on and when I get busy again, i can't afford to miss sells.

missed all the trades that manic is making money on.

ROKU, BA, AAPL

Just saw him with his AAPL call, I'm not taking that knowingly. That chart is on an awesome uptick but I like that move on a pullback from here, not yet. Which obviously means that's a winning decision for him.
