This makes me happy. I'll allow it.
Ouch! At Fidelity I'll spend $65 on the way in and $65 on the way out. At Tastytrade I would pay $10 on the way in, and $0 on the way out (for 100).
Yeah, my broker's fees are high, but they are the lowest for a Belgian based broker
I was wondering why are we stuck around $237 now and then I saw this updated GEX chart, Duh!
Last set of BTC -C265 1/19 in the hopper waiting for $0.81.
I plan to be flat on short calls over the weekend as we held $235 so far.
Will STO a fresh set again into any strength on Monday.
Edit: And filled.
First week of 2024:
Good enough for me ;- )
Holding:
-P290 9/20
-P250 1/2025
+C150 12/2025

Looking ahead to next week 1/12 as of now. Maybe we see bounce off channel bottom toward $250's which I plan to sell into on the way up.
Is it going to be 6 days straight red or sneak green into close...
Have to say feeling quite OK with my 1/26 -p220's / -c260's, can change quickly though!

Going long on AAPL?
SP closed above 180 so this should be based for a move back up to the 190?
next week 1/12 predictions
options market is guessing 225-250, about 5% move
1/19 is 230-250 for now
today's trades for 1/12, size >= 1000
today's million-dollar trades, 1/19 +c237.50
today's last 15 minutes is bullish
this week is within 1σ of last week; supported by 50sma and AVWAP, and possibly next week by lower BB
on the 4 Hr: there is support by AVWAP

I don’t like these wicks though on the daily, nor the bearish engulfing weekly, nor almost ending on the lowest SP of week and day… but I like a possible new MA4x convergence incoming, so if this one is tighter than the last one on dec 14, that was a false one and we have to revive it, as real starting point of a 25% move within 3 months.

That's the multi-weeks containment till the next big event (Earning) per Wicked. Should be safe.
Master of Rollers doubting himself
I've seen people referring to charts using a 4h time scale - is that 2 candles per day - one for the first half of the trading day, and one for the second half of the trading day?
What time scales do you primarily use and track closely? I've got a 15 minute and 1 day chart setup as I'm getting started. I use the 1 day to get a visual view about the big trend.
I was thinking the 1h for doing my weekly level trades makes the most sense, but that's about 7 or 8 candles a day and maybe 40 in a week - that seemed like not really enough for those weekly scale decisions though. So I've settled on the 15 minute candles instead.

I've been thinking a lot about your strategy of scalping premium on longer dated Calls. This has probably worked well this week because the SP has been going down. I don't see it working well when the SP is rising, and for me, the premiums aren't good enough on something like a Jan 2025 350 Call. Am I wrong?

You either play the house or play the direction. They are definitely playing the direction….
You have been overly bullish. You need to recognize that. You didn't sell calls on Tuesday as you saw TSLA was holding up well, or this morning for I don't know what the reason was. If you are forever haunted by the irrational fear of the SP shooting up out of nowhere, then a lot of strategies won't make sense to you because in your mind, the only direction the stock can take is up.
Playing the house vs playing the direction, it doesn't matter. If you make a lot of money, you'll be right. If you don't make any money, whatever label you want to be stuck with doesn't matter.

Closed the options for 1 cent. My guess of 240 was close enough - no TA, stats … or anything like that
