I made $400 on tsla in 38 seconds this morning but had to buy $80k of shares to do so.
LOL I did the exact same thing. 100 shares in and out.


Yep, didn't even realize it until afterward. Thinkorswim defaults to 100/ea contracts, and I didn't think about it. Afterwards I was like "did I buy 80k of Tesla?l

I'm always curious as to how much money Dan is moving on a trade like Tesla.

Without making any trades at all he has to be making over $400k from selling his program.

He's gotta be investing in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per trade. I can't see him chasing $80 and $100 dollar gains

.i am ok saying no good trades. I think this is like surfing with these guys. Small choppy waves are hard to ride or not much action. Big waves is where they can make money.
small choppy waves kill premium. Don't ride those.

The surfing analogy is so accurate...

looks like manic is adding some cool features to its discord channel showing sweeps, special sweeps, and dark pool prints.

I am not sure what all that is, but curious to see if it helps.

Ok, my feedback after using both Manic and Duck for the last few days...

Manic seems to be just that, manic. He tries to hit homeruns, and therefore hits some big one, but also strikes out a lot. That's not easy/good to manage if you try to follow them all on a small account, even with small positions. As mentioned, he has added some value with channels delivering charts and such, which is really good information.

Duck's system is more conservative, as he's happy getting out of a trade at 20-30% most times. He has also had some homeruns, but overall the returns are smaller. However, he rarely has a real bomb that hurts you. He posts watchlists each evening for the next day and is also now including an educational write-up (PDF form), I think weekly. The first one was on identifying levels on a chart. Duck seems more laid back and willing to help/teach his followers to be able to do this themselves.

For me, Duck's system is the best for my style and risk level, and I will likely cancel Manic once the month is up.

TLDR: I prefer Duck's system, plays, and risk assessment.

Eh I feel a little dismissive about this mishap. My ETrade shows BABA ER for this week, which is WRONG and they disclaim with 'estimated'.

"Earnings

Next Earnings: 05/14/2020 (Estimated) (Before Market Open)"



Although Manic is on thin ice with me as I am not particularly pleased with his performance over the past few weeks. Like many, I feel that he is chasing, and therefore I generally ignore him and I will not renew once my month is up. I am a little impressed with some of the features he's released with Discord recently but I don't think that alone is worth the monthly fee.

It took me less than 60 sec to go to Alibaba IR website and see the correct published date of earnings. This shouldve been part of Manic's weekend or monday morning premarket prep for the following week.

I've always checked the various companies IR website, because so often the brokerage dates for ER is off.

Very sloppy.

He recommended weekly 217.5c for .61 as an ER play with it actually being the week after. He ended up selling for a .10 loss and moved to next weeks.

He tried the 217.5c think ER was this week - rolled it to 5/22 230c when a member informed him he got the earnings day wrong

Yeah, but since about half of them type just like he does, I am skeptical that they are all real accounts...

I am really curious if anyone who follows Sam keeps a strict record (spreadsheet) of his trades. I'd like to know his true performance. BTW, this is a habit you should do when evaluating any service or trading system.

Glad im not the only one who took the BABA bait. I signed up with simbastocks today for a 4 day trial and they were making some good calls. it was nice to finally buy a call and it not go straight to red.

Still in on Sam. I didn't play anything today, but he had a good morning. Double and a little on BYND 135s, little less than double on TWLO 185s.

I haven't tracked in quite some time, as I've not been able to play as much the last few months and have mainly played the SPY on my own or through main thread advice. But when I tracked last, here were the numbers:

26 trades
22 winners (avg of 4.68 profit)
4 losers (avg of 1.28 loss)
84.62 win %

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.


Yeah, I don't play TSLA either, too expensive and too prone to random acts of Elon
