Trades Recap 27/05/14

Really annoyed I still cant trade this float rotation plays properly ($SPEX) but I guess it'll come with more practice. Made 4 trades on it, only one was successful. 
$PVCT another one I played way too poorly, thankfully was carrying over a few decent gappers which made my day much less stressful. Did pretty well reacting to news with options, will look to do more of that in the future.
Finished up $950 or so.



Trade Highlights:


$SPEX -$300 overall; traded it just to be in, chased the entry for the short and paid the price (-$275) made $50 back going long moments later, this was a screaming long rather than short, really need to get my head around "not everything that pops is a short" 
what's worse I was trading it blind, had I known about the am news I'd probably left it alone.


$HOMS +$333 was short from 1.50s
$DSNY +$265 gapper
$ENG +$80 gapper
$TSLA played some  $210 puts here +$105

$HIMX +$234 bought some Jun $7 puts (was trading at 7.30 or so)

$HIMX played some $7 calls on this basing action and perkiness

$PVCT -$211 made 3 trades, 2 were losers, on ABCD type move, didnt work
$PVCT again finally a decent trade - shorted when it broke under .70 +$50

$SPEX for the eod run and possibly gapper

Looks more like a short now ... good lesson here, I took this starter gapper too early, and didnt close it on 3 u/o; didnt have a clear plan in place before I took the trade really; decided to add some lower and hold o/n; sold for $250 a/h at 3.18
