back on my bullshit since its unclear wtf is up with the alg tourn. $112+ today but it was a fucking grind. cashed out an SPG long from yesterday, hit the last few points of the ZM decline, and finished off with a very squishy OSTK call that tried to give me a stroke by refusing to increase in value despite OSK rising like 3%. got out at like +2% for $15 or something, was not worth the grey hairs.
1242.59

AAPL and MSFT both retracing a bit, contracts +12%

entered into a QQQ 256p 8/7 scalp, 4 contracts @ .60 each.
i saw enough red with AMZN / FB / TWTR to get me involved because i thought AAPL had essentially peaked but MSFT has a fucking ton of volume behind it at +4.12% and rising so im going to have to keep an eye on this.... like if we push up to 269.40 range, i just need to dip and charge it to the game.Leave a comment:

tried to get slick on SPG, bought two contracts at 2.00 each ($400), stock dropped like a full half a percent but the contracts never really reflected price moves the way i needed to be happy so i got out at 2.01. $1544.08.Leave a comment:

i dont know wtf SWBI is doing but i cut it loose after it cost me another $190, then retraced $50 for absolutely no reason at all. the volume is too low for me to play these games with and id rather make green plays with the remainder than rely on thoughts on prayers to make some sort of recovery, knowing full well that thetas going to kick in soon in earnest and make recovery even less likely.
also i actually ran this account up to around 2k+ today on SPY straddle and then fat fingered an exit (limit instead of market) which cost me about $450. scraped together a very minor profit from shorting KODK. didnt get the reversal i wanted so the long leg looks like its going to expire worthless.
$1286.80 cash, will likely close around $1260'ish once the log leg expires and i pay down the commissions there.
considering id be up if SWBI didnt try to murder me, i refuse to pout. i got a good system brewing here.
flat going into the weekend with 1313.41 cash.Last edited by sonatine; 07-31-2020, 03:46 PM.Leave a comment:

dumped PTON. great run up, got spooked by a SMA crossover + huge dip in price. +$55 / 60% more or less, $1450.25.
SWBI just isnt acting right and i might dump and assume its simply retracing to $22.Leave a comment:

eeked out another green day somehow. straddled spy early on, ended up in some weird beneficial vix crush where my long leg was down 25% and my short was up 125%. cashed out the short, long actually retraced another 10% and decided to cash out until i saw another push. got in another spy scalp for +45% around 11am.. entered a PTON long for a couple of contracts and am praying that somehow my SWBI options recover but current value is $1396.61, with $966.61 in cash.Leave a comment:

+130 or so, rode the fed announcement/powell riff up, flattened all spy positions after the new cdc report hit the wires.
SWBI had a good positive day but not enough to scale up past theta/vega, still -200 / -36.36%. good momentum tho and heading in the right direction.Leave a comment:

got slick on a dotm same day straddle when i realized the fed was announcing rates today, accent on the long side. closed out the long position at like +87% and rolled it into a 7/31 long.
holding short leg at -70%. up about $75 on the books. pretty much freerolling at this point, i just need to be ready to pull the eject cord on the long if the market plunges at the 2pm announcement.Leave a comment:

scalped spy for a quick $35 or so, dumped GLD a bit soon but also at a modest $25 profit or so.. SWBI calls = sucking literally all the dicks and is down about 40%.. but with another 3.5 weeks to expiration, im not going to make any hasty decisions. the average positive day since may 1 is 60 cents, which means we're two positive days away from another 1 year high, and we are still in its support/resistance corridor:
if we drop below 23.50 ill start getting nervous. a reversal to 26.5 - 27 by friday would be entirely within character tho.Leave a comment:

this GLD contract is scaring the shit out of me. i think its going to have an up day tonight/tomorrow but if it reverses its going to absolutely scramble my tits.Leave a comment:
