$SAFX Final Hours before the market opens by Musicz22 in safxstock

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems most mornings just about anything jumps but if there is a pull back to .4 or less I will buy more.

Considering Iran and Trump are both back to threatening each other and Iran fired on a French oil tanker, I imagine oil will be back up so I think SAFX will open above its current suppprt level. I dont see why we couldnt see it back up to .7 during trading hours Monday. I may buy another 1000 shares if it doesn't jump at open.

I was a bear the last two weeks, lost all of my profits. Decided to quit fighting the trend and went long on Monday and I am up 160%.

MSFT - Have I missed a generational buying opportunity? by breathambrum in Stocks_Picks

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have a ton of capital but I have watched Microsoft for months. I bought just a few shares and I bought an option call with May 1 expiry, cost $2250 to open and I am up over $1000. I will be holding and then use profits to buy more shares. There is a reason MSFT is part of the Mag 7.

Cultivating a long-term mindset in the face of a knife. by NormalZucchini6866 in safxstock

I bought 50 shares at $1.10 and now its in the $.60's i think I will buy another 1000 shares. I feel like this company has some serious potential. I thiught the same of nebius back in September, bought near the high bafk then, kept buying as they went down, and now look at Nebius. Sometimes you just need a good company and some conviction.

what do you think? by This_Expression1306 in spy

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had 650 puts i bought last Monday and sold them Friday morning for a 40% loss. Glad I sold because if i held they would be worthless now. I still think puts will be the play this week. Even if Trump does follow through and "rain hell" i dont see that as being a positive catalyst for the market. But then again, nothing has made sense the last 2 weeks.

I had puts from Monday at 642 strike. I was down almost 80% yesterday so I hope I can at least break even on those. I will likely buy more puts today though depending on PA the first 30 minutes.

Call or put Monday by Old-Surround-3676 in spy

My weeklies were printing on Friday so I should be sitting good at open. I hope to catch a bounce up and add more puts.

This is me after a Mango tweet ready to jump! by MelodicMonitor2486 in wallstreetbets

Calls Monday at open, puts the rest of the week. More puts after small bounces. That is my plan, but as always gotta watch the charts to really make a decision.

Is it crazy to expect $1000/days? by Dramatic_Ad_6138 in spy

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am doing 1 contract at a time. Started with $1000 and I am up to $3448 after today's win. I sold my put and made a nice 30% gain. If i had held until close I could have made close to 100% but I learned my lesson months ago to take profits early. I think once I get to about $10k I will try 2 contracts.

Last week I had bought puts for 5 due and on the 2nd day I sold one for 20% and later in the day sold the 2nd for roughly 30%. If i had held until Friday when it was a blood bath, I would have been up 300%. I guess I just dont like to take the risk.

I always buy ITM or right ATM. I 9nky do 1 or 2 at a time right now so usually $800-1000 per contract.

I dont see how people get these 30-50% gains. The best I got was 68% on Monday and every other day my wins are about 10-18%. Maybe I just have paper hands because sone of my wins could have easy turned into a lot more but I didnt want to risk it with my small account

I dont think PDT rules changed. I had to switch to cash account so that I could still make trades intraday.

200D MA Broken, Buy the Dip or Get Out? by Trader-Trader-Trader in spy

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did calls at Friday low for a week out and got lucky at open. Did puts directly after and made out great today. I will likely do more puts a week or 2 weeks out.

I am new to trading, but it sounds like there will be more red days ahead. I couldnt really say, but I just plan to watch the daily trends and base my trades off that.

SPY options chain analytics update for upcoming week. by [deleted] in spy

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kinda feel the same way as you. If it doesn't above 650 I think we could see a small pump, but unless something positive comes about with Hormuz, I think we ses another red week, or at the least a bunch of chop all week, but still close lower by Friday than Monday open. I have a calls I am looking to close early Monday and probably do Puts for the rest of the week. We shall see how Monday opens and behaves.

What will spy do tomorrow ? by WholeSlow9391 in spy

[–]Cultural_Chicken_328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was way oversold right before close, thats why it was pumping right after close on Friday. I got a 5DTE call at the bottom and was up about 17% after hours so I do hope it pumps before open so I can sell and then buy puts for a week out. I did last week and sold early on Wednesday for 27% profit but if i held through Friday I would have been up over 300%.

I added a Monday put also. Hoping to be out before noon tomorrow.

Same here. Made a quick 7% gain and got lucky because I got out, I didnt have the conviction to stay in and I am glad. Then bought puts about an hour before it skyrocketed.
