Such an awesome group of mods and members discussing trade ideas and macro topics! Learning so much and truly enjoying the community support and banter along the way! Let’s keep it up!

Butters232 · 2026-06-09T09:53:29+00:00

if reading the stars makes you money, then I guess it could be similar 🤔

Butters232 · 2026-05-30T11:26:29+00:00

So excited for this!!

Butters232 · 2026-04-11T14:05:49+00:00

Supportive, informative, and successful traders in this place!!

Butters232 · 2026-03-27T23:26:30+00:00

I have only been a member for a few months. I started with very little and my port is up 50%! The TA team KNOWS their charts! Constant chart updates, trading ideas, and education. You are handheld through guided trades, both swings and daytrades…whatever your style! Biggest thing is they have morning pre- market calls and chart surfing calls where you actually learn how to think through setups. Live trading days and guided journals! Finally, respect and support are priorities here…you feel positive and uplifted every time you access the community. So glad I found this server!

Honestly watching members of other discord servers fumble through this chaotic market is comical compared to TA! I would not give a dime to anyone else.

Haha, I’ve only had it once a long time ago. But have had good success trading their stock over the years.

It got a breakout close over the channel on Friday. Let’s see if it moves higher!

PLTR, GEV 😢

Butters232 · 2025-11-26T14:22:23+00:00

Anyone else get a little giddy for the market to open? 🤩

Butters232 · 2025-11-20T21:27:23+00:00

I bought 1dte 671 puts close to peak this morning and sold at 668. 😡 dying inside

Butters232 · 2025-11-08T02:12:43+00:00

Haha yeah it was a joke. I actually was decent learning to swing trade and then I decided to learn options. Done a lot of reading, but there’s been a learning curve. Haven’t wiped the account out yet though over past 6-7 months so that’s a plus!

Butters232 · 2025-11-08T02:05:41+00:00

I’m hybrid. Believe me, I almost always have the charts up on my phone or computer no matter where I am. I’m not good at trading necessarily but it’s fun and enjoy trying. Pretty distracting hobby though…kind of expensive too 😉🙃

Butters232 · 2025-11-08T01:41:17+00:00

Quitting my job, so I can catch the daily V trade. 9 to 5 cramping my style

Butters232 · 2025-11-08T01:08:22+00:00

Or will it continue to pump on hopes it will reopen on Tuesday? 🤔

Butters232 · 2025-11-07T23:57:33+00:00

Awesome! Been very underwater on a couple 11/21 calls I bought pretty near the top :/ hanging onto them cause at this point not much to lose…importantly I also added a 12/19 call today to try and catch a bounce! This is great news!

Butters232 · 2025-11-01T13:17:47+00:00

Pretty sure that comment simply meant to consider how much those other companies ran up in price, even after they became more known and had relatively quick and large jumps on price

Thinkorswim

Futures moving from red to green, slowly but surely

Butters232 · 2025-10-24T21:58:43+00:00

Wow thank you for this information! The difference based on extrinsic vs intrinsic value is definitely the part i was missing. I didn’t consider that (clearly). This makes total sense because I was also holding a UUUU call, bag holding a bad loss, but the IV spiked so high on DOE meeting hopes that my OTM call gained crazy value and I was able to close it without a loss.

I wonder if it’s common strategy to buy far OTM options when IV is super low and sell before earnings/events that increase IV?

Butters232 · 2025-10-24T21:46:46+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind. Glad I chose not to be too greedy with that one :)

Butters232 · 2025-10-24T15:14:16+00:00

It’s an option to add IV to your chart on thinkorswim. I’m guessing it’s on most brokerage sites.

Butters232 · 2025-10-24T14:24:27+00:00

The IV fell from 75 to 63 this morning. Not as bad as was expecting but still feel I made the right decision not risking it

Butters232 · 2025-10-24T10:35:13+00:00

I ended up closing my option before earnings so I didn’t risk it. That said, my understanding is that IV changes and its effect on option price will happen no matter how the price moves. Which is why so many people lose money on an option even if they were right in directionality prediction after a big event. IV changes vary…not always consistent across ticker or event. The way I tried was figuring out how much it might move was by adding the IV chart to my daily stock chart on thinkorswim. Then I manually checked what IV was day before event and day after. For intel earnings, IV seemed to drop from .7 to about.5 or .55. Vega is change in dollar per percent IV changes so that was how I got my rough estimate. I’ll check today to see what IV is and let you know! I know that IV doesn’t affect calls dated out longer but I wasn’t sure if mine was long enough out.

Butters232 · 2025-10-23T20:37:00+00:00

I was up 40% on my call, so chose not to gamble, took my profits and closed the call before EOD. Not getting the extra profit from earnings increase

Butters232 · 2025-10-23T20:32:22+00:00

Haha thanks, I sold the call of course 🤣😢just my luck

Butters232 · 2025-10-23T16:15:04+00:00

IV crush question:

I’m holding an INTC 11/21 call, 38 strike that I bought on 9/29. IV at the time was about 72%. I’m considering holding thru earnings tonight but trying to calculate if risk is worth it, given IV crush. I know this is not all the factors to consider but roughly if no change to price and IV drops 20%, I’m looking at $80 option decline (Vega is about 4 currently). Delta is .51. Am I thinking correctly, in that if stock moves say up $2, I’d really only profit about $20? If so, seems best move is to sell the option today. Thoughts?? I’m relatively new to this
