June expiry?

yeah, i got in when RUT was around 1090 - this move upward was unexpected but again, I sold bottom wing, then rengaged bottom ring - so that will hedge some of the losses if RUT breaches the upper wing. I'm looking for a pullback this week though.

 

[7oclock]

I want to iterate, I'm doing PORTFOLIO investing..i'm not expectding to win on every strategy and every play. Some plays are there to hedge other plays

so while my RUT may get breached, i'm also making money on selling pandora (P) spreads and also doing bullish call spreads on other items. Then also playing some neutral plays (calendars).

For whatever reason, I felt the urge to pull out of CRCM today. Just took $178 in profit and exited.



Looking to buy some $10 June puts on CXDC with the Care.com proceeds.

shyt is going out of control. Will probably come back down to earth in the next few weeks. I made some money on CXDC last year. It hurts to know I had probably 20k into it at one point at $4.83.

Well my friend I actually was trading penny stocks about 3-4 years ago. I saved up a G and practised with that. I threw it in some stock called QSGIQ and I rode it from 14 to 52 cents. I sold at like 40 cents. From then on I loved investing. I hung around penny stock forums for a while and the live chats plus I bought a level 2 service to daytrade penny stocks and I did that for a while. I started to lose money gambling being overconfident; believing I could trade every P&D but I didn't know much about liquidity or volume.

Fast forward from there I've done my research and I'm more interested in futures and currencies. That being said I'm still learning like you are and I'm going to re-open my trading account for CFD's at the end of this week and I'll probably be trading by next week. I think if you do some research, win or lose, you'll feel more confident on whatever strategy or product you choose to trade.

I didn't start until I was a junior college and enrolled in the finance major at school. So 6-7 years. At first i just used to put it in index funds because I've seen too many studies on the big boys not beating the market and i still have most of my money in there. But like anybody its been up and down.

Started investing during my fourth year of university (2013) when I was doing a coop internship for a year in asset mgmt. I used to come to work so early and became so interested in applying what I had learned in school that before I knew it i was reading equity research reports on the Bloomberg Terminal and eventually making my own. First equity i bought was KKD in April 2014, then EVR, then LYV, then AYA.TO, TSLA etc etc in May. My portfolio was absolutely fukking From then til now my shyt probably woulda doubled...only bad pick was AMCX which I still believe in.

Anyways, I got too big for my britches and started messing with options ....lost like $6000 of some of the money I saved to pay off my last year of school mainly because of greed. Lesson learned lol.

Key things i need to work on...irrational decision making / greed or riding highs. Problem has always been that i exit early and it continues going up (SPY calls as of late for example) and the fact that if I have 4 good investment opportunties but only the cash to do one for that time...its like I choose the wrong one 90% of the time (buying SPY puts instead of UA calls on Tuesday)

I started before I went to Uni. I learned the hard way. I lost $5,000+ twice which taught me risk control, risk management, and I realized that I was trading far too many shares relative to equity. I also came to the conclusion that intraday trading/scalping is more of a reactive process as opposed to one requiring forethought.
