Finally, a little bit of movement in the market might makes some decent trades tomorrow, depending on how the market opens. The ones I'm going to check out in the morning is:

EXP Apr19 82.5 PUT @ $1.75 or better

HLF Apr19 52.5 CALL @ $1.45 or better

KMX Apr19 68 PUT @ $0.85 or better

RH Apr19 105 CALL @ $3.80 or better or the APR19 110 CALL @ $2.10 or better (depends on how it opens in the morning)

Right now, premarket is indicating a big open, but that can change drastically by the morning bell....

In the following:

KMX Apr19 69 PUT @ $0.85

Should be good for some quick money.....

In the following:

RH Apr19 105 CALL @ $2.80

Thought I was going to be able to pick up some more a little cheaper, but didn't happen. This should be good for some decent money, though.....

Out of:

RH Apr19 105 CALL @ $4.10 up from $2.80

Decent money. Will probably falter a little later today, so I may get back into it cheaper.....

Out of:

KMX Apr19 69 PUT @ $1.50 up from $0.85

Didn't expect that to get hit this early as it was the Ask price, but I'll take it. Missed the big drop yesterday and could have added another $0.30 just on Bid price without any spread but I'll take this. If stock prices rises more, I'll look at getting back into it for <$1....

Looking back at the last couple of months, I've noticed that I have been making a HUGE number of entries on this thread. My intention was just to list some potential trades I look at (and maybe others may want to look at them, too?) and basically show my trades in as real-time as I can. But it kinda seems like I wound up monopolizing the thread conversation, though, and that's never a good thing for one person to do. So I think for a little bit I'll slow down on my daily ramblings; I don't want to make the thread boring (I will, however, update on the open trades I have: SJM, WES, RH, and KMX).

Just got a little carried away, is all...can't help it, I just really enjoy trading options and it is as much fun now as it was all those years ago when I first started!

{quote}...sold the 4/10 2905 calls for $2.05, locked in a risk-free bull call vert
risk free vert in for 15c credit, worth about $1.65 now, a finish on 4/10 above 2900 would score over $3.25.....a bird in hand better than 2 in bush?

...you don't have to do this on my account. You and I have completely different approaches to options trading but that's not a problem. I think you've arrived at the same realization that I did many times - there aren't many options traders frequenting FF and of those that are around, nearly none want to talk about their trades. I'm sure I can find many stretches in the thread where it has been just me, seemingly talking to myself.

The progression is you may find you don't need to talk to anyone about trading. Not a bad thing: frees up time to devote to other things. There's a life outside trading, after all.

Thanks, TF. Not you at all, I just wanted to make sure this didn't turn into some boring thread of just trades that have happened. I enjoyed posting and actually used this as basically a trade journal that others can look at if they want. If some of the plays I pick can help others, that's great, too.

The days that I'm trading, I consider that my "job", so I'm usually around my desktop computer during trading hours and actually sitting in front of it when my trade is moving. I don't like to miss opportunities, and that is just what happened Monday with my KMX Put....could have closed it at $0.95 profit had I been at the computer, but had to take care of an errand that lasted a lot longer than anticipated, and missed that opportunity....now it is trading what I bought it at. So when I have money in a trade that's moving, I like to be at my computer, and since I'm here anyway, posting just helps pass the time. I just didn't want to spoil the thread by making it too mundane, that's all.

If what I'm doing isn't too boring, then I'll just keep doing what I was doing. But this is your thread, so let me know if it gets too much....

Glad I can help. I make no guarantees they will all make money, but for the most part, I'm pretty confident in my picks.

Now, if any of them DO make you money, consider giving a little back to a good charity....lots of children's hospitals need donations. Just a thought....

...not at all, feel free. As you've seen, there are people who are interested in your posts.

Anyone is invited to post about their options trades, regardless of their methods. Since it's a thread in "Interactive Trading", posts should be about real trading with actual trades posted, ideally in real time.

Questions about who my broker is will be brushed aside as usual.

Questions about how to learn to trade options will be answered as usual: go through the tastytrade videos, read books, read blogs and articles on the web, but mostly: get a demo account somewhere and paper trade.
