{quote} The LYFT Mar1 19 PUT at around $1.13 should be a decent trade. Gives it two weeks to drop. Remember you can sell it at any time before expiration, so it doesn't have to reach the strike price to make money, the option price just needs to be more than what you paid for it.
This one but it traded as high as $2.70 today...a good trade by any standard. But, I wasn't in it....

In the following:

AKAM Mar15 110 CALL at $1.67

Now, bid/ask spread was $0.05 increments, with most depth at $1.60Bid/$1.70Ask, with just one at $1.65Bid. No takers at all, so I bumped mine to the Ask price of $1.70, and got it for $1.67. Not sure why, but I'll take it!

{quote} Looks like you made you some money on this trade. Good job! If you haven't already, you may want to get rid of it soon, the chart shows it has done what its gonna do and price is hitting the 5EMA.
I am still learning. I chickened out and placed an exit at breakeven. So it's a free entertainment

Just remember, if you believe it was a trade worth getting into, unless something changes on the news or chart, you have to let the trade breathe. Watch the charts and look for support/resistance levels, which I find to be in the form of upper/lower Bollinger Bands, the 5EMA, the 10 EMA and the mid-BB (which is roughly the 21EMA). I use them a LOT when deciding when to get out of a trade!

Plus, it is always good to not go too far out-of-the-money with the options, it tends to lesson the panic factor a little since you come into profit sooner.

But, overall, you got your feet wet with options, got in and out of a trade via your platform and you didn't lose money. I would still put that in the "WIN" column!

Not much going on for tomorrow, but I'll be looking at these in the morning:

ROKU Call

WM Put

WMT Put

It all depends on pre-market if they are a go at the open or better to wait a while.

Has anyone trade with Pocketoptions? I am wondering if it is a reliable binary option broker.

Never used it, but my understanding that only the full contract type of options is allowed by US residents rather than the binary side. Which is too bad, because those are a lot of fun!

The CFTC really killed the US currency trading years ago when they began to regulate margin requirements and such "to protect the investors from themselves." That's when I stopped trading currency and went back to options. Remember, they went from 400:1 to 50:1 max, so that cost me 8 times more to make the same trade! If I was gonna have to put up a few thousand for each trade, I can do better with stock/index options.

I notice a lot of people come to this thread and hopefully get a lot out of it. If that is the case, I recommend you consider joining ForexFactory and subscribe to the people you want to follow, as that shows them the time and effort spent on posting is actually beneficial and helping other traders. Just a thought....

Shoot, no! Too rich for me. That's some big boys/market makers selling covered calls just to make a little money, knowing it ain't getting to 1300 by Friday!

NVDA expected move for 2/23 is 11-12%, that would get us to $800 on the upside. Any kind of down move will be a btfd opp. I will probably buy some cheap call flys around $800, might spend 50c for a few...

It's definitely a win, in at 0.47 and out at 0.49. Not a lot but small profit is still a profit
