It was very frustrating! DIA looks great for a drop, and I thought that drop would start today. I certainly didn't expect today's jump up like it had. I expect tomorrow's 354 Puts to be a total loss, but I should more than make up for them on the ...

In the following: DXCM Dec8 112 PUT at $1.05 This should make up should my Dec1 options not make it down all the way.

Out of the following: H Dec15 115 PUT at $2.55 up from $1.65 Probably has more downside, but it is butting up against the 10EMA, so I went ahead and got out.

In the following: NDAQ Dec15 PUT at $0.85 Also, added to the following: SKX Dec15 55 PUT at $0.45, bringing average down to $0.665 APH Dec15 85 PUT at $0.15, bringing the average down to $0.283. Didn't expect that to get hit so I wasn't watching it ...

I have a bid in for the following for tomorrow: NDAQ Dec15 PUT at $0.85 I'll modify as needed based on premarket numbers, but I may go as high as $0.95 if I have to chase it.

Well, I was able to at least salvage some money out of the following Wednesday, so I'm glad I didn't wait: DHI Nov24 126 PUT at $0.55 down from $0.75 QCOM Nov24 124 PUT at $0.40 down from $0.60 Yep, QCOM and DHI was not friendly.....they are dead to ...

I have found it is easier to predict the stock market than the currency market because there are fewer influences. Pattern recognition is all technical analysis really is, and it becomes self-fulfilling because traders all read from the same ...

The Market vs. the Mind: Decoding the Enigma of Predictability

The DIA is getting close to coming down enough to make some money, so I'll be looking at some Puts on Wednesday/Friday right before the close (probably Wednesday because Friday is a short day), because I think we are going to see some downward ...

Out of the following last Friday: QCOM Nov17 119 PUT at $0.00 down from $0.89 avg QCOM Nov17 123 PUT at $0.00 down from $0.90 DHI Nov17 118 PUT at $0.00 down from $0.65 Market pulled them both up, but charts still look ready to move down, though ...

To me, the DIA looks like it is setting up for some downward movement. Granted, it isn't the perfect chart, but certainly would support some movement down in the next few days. If it does continue to move up for a few more days, that just means the ...

Same here. My QCOM and DHI Puts took a big move in the wrong direction. I'm trying to salvage them with higher strike prices. It does look like the DIA/SPY will be ready for a move down, but I'm not sure it it will happen before close Friday, but ...

Okay, wouldn't split the Bid/Ask, so I paid the Ask for the following: APH Dec15 85 PUT at $0.55 Should still be good for some money....
