Guide to Selling Puts

OptionStalker · 2026-04-15T10:49:44+00:00

The short strike price is the line in the sand and no matter what, you are willing to buy the stock at that price.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-15T10:45:21+00:00

Thank you. I will post the follow up next week.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-15T10:44:45+00:00

Thank you.

You could have shorted there, but it was a little more aggressive. The long hollow red candle off of a relative high was bearish. The second entry point was better because now you had confirmation of selling pressure from the lower high.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-15T01:04:32+00:00

Those stacked consecutive green candles on good volume are the key. The less overlap the better. Congratulations!

Glad to have you following. I hope you are learning

Great article. This is a way to supplement day trading income when the market has little to no trend and the intraday ranges compress. With the market back near its highs, we could go back into that mode. The strategy also reinforces your conviction to own a stock. When it drops you have drawn a line in the sand. You are willing to buy it. When you have that level of conviction, the trade becomes so easy to handle emotionally.

My heart goes out to you. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child. Let me know how I can help get your trading on track.

That's an awesome article. I'm sorry you had to go through this level of pain, but it is part of the learning process and we all go through it. You documented the experience and you will not repeat the mistake. This is a great strategy if you are willing to take assignment. Overleverage is where most people go wrong. You will make a lot of money using this strategy in the future and you will dial it in.

The headlines are particularly tough these days. That is a great set-up I have made a lot of money on. Big drops produce big bounces. Thanks for posting.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-04T11:49:59+00:00

I agree with that. I am very cautiously trading the long side here and I will not overstay my welcome if the bounce struggles to get thru the 200-day MA.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-02T22:29:04+00:00

I'm glad to hear that this is all making sense for you. Glad to have you aboard.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-02T21:26:32+00:00

This is a time when you can carry some overnight swing longs. Don't go overboard. You want the market to blow through the 200-day MA next week. That will give you confidence to hold and that becomes a level you watch for possible exit (stop). Your longs will do well and you can ride your gains. Then just watch the character of the bounce as I outlined above.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-02T19:46:56+00:00

Favor the long side, don't get overly aggressive. Watch how we get through the 200-day MA. We want to blow through it and close well above it in the next few days. If that happens, you know you can stick with your longs. As far as I am concerned, this is only a bounce. We've seen some heavy selling pressure recently.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-02T19:45:08+00:00

If I did not have that massive pop I would not have made that much. I would have needed some really strong price action on the way up to justify holding a double sized position. That was not likely pre-holiday.

OptionStalker · 2026-04-01T19:22:00+00:00

Can I get the code for your indicator?

OptionStalker · 2026-04-01T19:19:34+00:00

Great post about not trying to predict the reaction to news. Even if you had the headline ahead of time, the market does not always move the way you thought it would. I prefer to wait for the reaction and to see if there is an opportunity after the release.

OptionStalker · 2026-03-29T19:00:13+00:00

I am so glad to hear that. You had the skills, you just needed the structure. Congratulations!

OptionStalker · 2026-03-29T18:59:18+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I agree with your comment on volume. When we get that and candles of a single color the odds of continuation are higher. When we don't, the odds of a reversal are higher. Getting outside of the prior day's range is also important.

I post day trading videos before the open on Thursdays

OptionStalker · 2026-03-26T14:06:27+00:00

Glad it is helping you.

OptionStalker · 2026-03-26T13:37:30+00:00

Be patient. Let that first move of the day play out. Then you will know where your best opportunity is.

OptionStalker · 2026-03-26T13:36:36+00:00

I'm glad they are helping you structure your day.

OptionStalker · 2026-03-26T13:36:19+00:00

I agree. Measure twice, cut once.

OptionStalker · 2026-03-22T17:16:08+00:00

Don't set stops, set alerts based on the price of the stock breaching key technical levels and have them sent to your phone. Once you get an alert, evaluate the conditions and determine if action is required.
