Is there any experience or benefit to this:

Say you have a 7/16 call option contract with a $24 strike that is down 60%.
Ticker currently trading at $17.
Do you roll back the play back to the in the money $17 strike for April? Do you roll the dice and ride or die?

nah id just buy more and average down..you have plenty of time
 
What's your weekend research routines? For me it's the following:

1) Yahoo Finance - looking at what's being said in the financial world, reevaluating my positions
2) Stockdweeb - He post upcoming weekly plays
3) Reddit -WSB - Try to get a feel of what others are looking at
4) Some trading course video - Just wrapping up Investorslive course courtesy of @Efkie

Refining this stuff as i go. But it's clear you can't jump in the market cold on Mondays, Tuesday and expect to consistenly make gains.
I'm learning more and more you gotta prep during the weekend(or whenever your time off) and have a game plan for game day.




:thumbsup: :cheers:

gives me a clearer picture. People get so caught up on 5 red days and if you look overall you can see if its still bullish or bearish.

Look at Spy overall...still bullish

Wouldn't it need to bounce off the 50 day moving average first for a bullish conformation? Next support is around $325.

QQQ Broke support and the next level is around $270ish, if it doesn't recover.

According to the Tastytrade team rolling down or rolling out options really seems to only be beneficial if you have credit spreads or options you’ve sold and you can do so for additional premium
 
You absolutely love seeking alpha. Do you have a subscription? If so, Is it worth it?

I just have the free account / registration joint. It was the first of the investing sites that was recommended when I started out, and easy enough to navigate so I just rolled with it. The free account allows you to create watchlists or your portfolio by adding the ticker, and they e-mail me articles whenever there's a new story posted on there that mentions my companies.

I read the Catalyst Watch and the Stocks to Watch articles every Sat so thought I would share them just in case anyone was interested.

Since I have a pretty standard set of stocks I may update the support and resistance on my charts and see if any are at a buy zone or have an upcoming catalyst.

Other than that, I catch up on some videos though these days I mainly peep Chris Sain and Ziptrader unless I’m looking up a particular stock. If I am interested in any plays I hear or read about I’ll research those charts as well.

During the week I peep a bunch of apps for daily news on the market and my watchlist: MarketWatch, Investing.com, Yahoo Finance and CNBC. If something catches my eye but there is no clear news I may hit up Stocktwits to see if there are any rumors.
 
What kind of spread sheets do y'all use to keep track of everything? I'm looking for something that automatically calculates my entries. Shit I got now (free from the web) makes me do the math.

You're demented in so many ways, and absolutely defy all logic or reason. Just a subversive, super idiot. I'll be back Monday to elaborate. :lol:
Takes you that long to bring a rebuttal? You’ve proven ten times over that you aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but I’m looking forward to the brilliant analysis and knowledge you will share.

Blame it on @Efkie he posted the links. Eitherway, I didn't like his style.
I blame nobody. Remember, @HellBoy and @blackpepper said I’m a fraud that doesn’t know shit so you shouldn’t listen to me anyway. I even went back in my time machine to post that fake page just to deceive you and others because I’m “Just a subversive, super idiot”.

Oh well, back to the basement.

Curious about something. I’ve gotten a million news alerts in the $JNJ being approved for emergency vaccine.
Are prices usually already built in and not move movement is expected for that type of stock ($161) or so you expect this thing to run?
 
Plus it ran from $140s to mid 160s when they announced their findings and plans for emergency use. If anything I think it drops

:yes: It's likely to run up just a little bit more before it drops. The news is really circulating everywhere !
 
@xfactor, You're absolutely right that it is gambling. But try not to be so harsh!

I'm going to assume, like me, many of us come from backgrounds where this stuff wasn't taught to us. Likely we were taught to do good in school, get a good job, work hard, and save. Wash/Repeat..

Clearly, that strategy is unlikely to get you to the promise land. Finding away to generate passive income etc is the way. Hencing investing in the market, real estate, business etc.

As for the Market, HOW do you do research? What do you look for? How do you minimize risk and maximize potential? etc etc etc
If no one ever taught you these things then it's unlikely you're going to avoid "gambling-like" tactics on the way to the promise land.

It's all trial and error! Unfortunately with real money.

The key, imo, is learning from your mistakes. Picking up bits here and there..researching those bits..applying those bits...getting more sound and sophisticated along the way.

School of hardknocks! Unfortunately, for some of us out here.
No fam. It's not all heuristics. Even on YouTube, folks are training clients to be traders. Teri Trade and Travel is good. She has a different approach but she promises a 1000 a day and folks are hitting the goalposts. 2500 a course tho.

Sounds like a promo. So you’re part of her course and making atleast 1K every week?

These courses are starting to be the new hussle.
Atleast this one is black!

I heard a trader say, "If a real trader is selling you a course, he's full of shit. Because a real trader who is currently trading won't have time to put a course together. He'll be too busy making money." I believe that.

I've been studying my behind off and it just doesn't make sense to pay an unverified person $2,500 for a trading course. Buy books on trading and read them. Learn about the "Greeks." Instead of giving her $2,500; use that money on a quality education.

On top of that, that woman's voice is annoying. And, I don't believe she can get you where you want to be as a trader. Real talk, you'll get more quality information right in this BGOL thread. Brothers just have to want to share their info vs feeling like if I share my knowledge I'll somehow get slighted if the next man earns some money.

If I can break the Market, I will. I want to see every person in this thread walk off with millions.

1st you go peeping my posthistory
Then you blame it me ? DAFuQ ? :lol:


BTW, what do you think of the LEX & Anton material ?
What did you pick up ?



Yea. I also did not like his style.
Then again he and Tim Sykes especially made penny stock trading big.

Each to their own, bro. If you seriously think you can do it on your own, and established traders won't capitalize on their craft by selling the game, that's on you.

Some of us can read a cookbook and thrive, others need a cooking class. I take courses and read books. I like how reading and listening and applying methods complement each other. After all, until you hone on your style of trading, you're basically copying the other man's handwriting. If you sincerely think you will prosper from unverified no names

from a porn site where we can't even get a sticky, I feel for you. Not to HALO this thread, why not share and POST DEM BOOKS for the fam to cover.

Blame it on @xfactor he put the heat on me and i panicked!
The LEX $ Anton materials i only previewed a little.

I'll start on them later this week!

You're right. They are hustlers and scam artists abound. And no, I can't claim the 1000 a day circle because I didn't hit a grand a day
on their terms. But that's on me. I did hit back to back on 1,000 a day at one time. But that wasn't consistent and I got got. Come to find out
later, I was cautioned by the course. That's the game. What I'm not doing is relying solely on books that can't pinpoint how I need to move.

So far, I'm enjoying the journey. I'm ebbing away from popular stocks and hot shock tips. I envision a hefty account this year, and see
myself adding more methods from putting in my screen time. I can't chase a hook up anymore. I waste time on a 100 DIY approach either.
