So ... went a bit crazy at the open today, not really in focus and not waiting for the setups ... happens after a decent streak.
Traded $ZIOP well, initiated a few swing shorts that I think will pan out well.
$MHR was duckup of the day, totally forgot I had an open position, "only" $100 loss, but that's 1/3 of what my daily goal is
Trades:
$JRJC long in pre on news, this one likes to spike on news and real beat; sold some from profit, rest for a fat loss
$BBRY shrot in pre with 11 risk
$BBRY took some puts at the open too, worked out ok
$NVGN in pre on news; minimised gains with 2.90 sells but overall cant complain
$BAS $RIG $SDRL $EXXI $GDP longed a few oil stocks fliipped quickly for marginal gains. but forget about buying $MHR as well, which pretty much set me even on the day on them
$SMSI with .75 risk. looks fadey from here; messed it up a few times before it finally worked enough to breakeven ...
$DRD small long; didnt work
$ZIOP shorts freed after the morning dump ... i took some on a bounce, and finally made a good trade on it
$NVGN later on a dip; sold half for profit rest b/e and loss
$XON took some $35 puts on that $40 push ... i should have just shorted 100sh, but then i'd probably cover them for .50c, instead i had more patience with the puts
$CRMD tried the same thing that's worked with $ETRM y'day (buying right after the unhalt) but wasnt quick enough this time and got bagged; didnt cut it quickly either; it somehow worked out not too badly in the end; poor trading, got CRMD
$ZIOP missed the pop short, but shorted smaller after a big sell, thinking all-day fader here, potential swing; giving it some room to 8.25 for adds
$ALXA some short here as it looks fadey and support might give; tight stop; worked well, covered some, might swing rest
$CPXX same story
$ZIOP another small trade; later reshorted small o/n potentially too
$OCN long with 8.25 risk; no go;
$OCN again on that $8 test and just before massive $5 put buys, decided to buy some puts, worked out well, but damn, would have been so much more profitable to go for shares rather than puts ... need to quit that habit
$CLF made a few pennies on that move off the news, waited for a dip to go long
$BBRY took some puts at the open too, worked out ok
$NVGN in pre on news; minimised gains with 2.90 sells but overall cant complain

$OCN last screen was short?
ReplyDeleteno, i foolishly bought $5 puts for .60 and sold for .65, arrows indicating when I bought and sold the puts
