Talk about Karma!!.... looking at the chart, I got out on the lowest 30m candle before it screamed back up due to the Fed meeting. That's fine with me, because now I am looking to get back in to/add to the following before the close: DFS Dec22 ...

Out of the following: DFS Dec22 101 PUT at $1.30 up from $0.90 Probably has more downside by then, but it is butting up against the 5EMA, so I'm out.

Actually, it is.

When Should You Give Up On Trading?

I can only assume you mean "stocks" and I can further assume by your comment "Stocks only go up" that you have never traded them before. Because if you had, you would know that stocks go down just as easily as they go up, and normally a lot faster ...

When Should You Give Up On Trading?

I only trade straight Puts/Calls, so it is always a buy to open the trade and a sell to close close the trade, it doesn't matter if it is a Call or a Put. The only way you can sell a Put is if you have the actual stock and you are selling the Puts ...

All that being said, I think you need some alone time for your mental health, too! Too much friends and family can drive you crazy just as fast....so I'm taking a few days off from that and getting back on my computer where at least the stress is ...

I have to ask: What is the purpose for this "experiment"? Typically, an experiment is performed to test a hypothesis, but for a trading experiment, the owner/trader of the account is irrelevant, so testing whatever hypothesis you want to test can be ...

I do believe they add value and are definitely on my charts, but I only use them for next level support/resistance levels. I have the 5EMA and 10 EMA on my charts, and the mid-BB is roughly the 20EMA. I seldom use the upper and lower BBs for much ...

Out of the following: KKR Dec15 75 PUT at $1.95 up from $1.50 Dropped nicely, but started going up right away, so I took the money and ran. Could have gotten another $0.15 but waited too long. Still nice spending money.

I'm with you on that. It is actually very time consuming to post my trades on here and the only reason I do it is because I know of two people that tend to follow my trades, but I'm not sure if they still do that, we haven't communicated for a few ...

Had no idea of the health issues, I'm really glad you are doing better now! I understand about the summer, that is kinda my vacation time because things just don't move that much. And when I'm sick, I do my best not to get into any new trades. I was ...

I can not agree more! I think you should treat trading like a regular job, complete with vacations and maybe even short weeks periodically, if you can. But losses really have nothing to do with with it. Heck, my VEEV and UPS trades more than cover ...

Thanks, TF, you have a good one, too. I was thinking earlier today I think I might just play with the trades I have open now and take the rest of December off to just chill. Heck, it will be warm enough to do some yard work until nearly Christmas, ...

SPY is hitting a double top today and looks set to drop like DIA, but I like to play SPY near or in the money, and that would just have too many trades over $1.00. I'm doing a test for a quarter to play a little farther out of the money and get them ...

Well, all my Dec1 Puts look finished today (BURL/DXCM/DIA) as I figured. Now, I didn't figure BURL would shoot up $6+ for pretty much no reason, but it didn't matter to my trade anyway. But, I did get into the following: DIA Dec8 362 PUT at $1.495 ...
