Bought two contracts for $11.20 when the chart was curling downwards at 10:01am, and then averaged down with two more contracts at $7.75 per contract around 10:51am. So my average contract price was $9.475. Scary trade and pretty risky, but my gut was telling me there would be an eventual sell-off.

Higher lows setting in after major oversold intraday chart. Was going to swing but decided to take my profits instead.

Box breakout with big volume blocks. Chased a bit and got out quick due to the size I was playing.

Followed the downward trend

This was a very frustrating trade that still continues to haunt me to date (5/3). I bought this stock because it had spiked big in the mid morning on 4/22 with lots of volume, it showed up on my big percent gainers scanner, and it was a FGD. After it failed to be an ABCD pattern intraday, I decided to swing it based on the chart history of running after spiking big. Due to my stubbornness, I held into 4/25 way below my risk. So when 4/26 came, I just wanted to get out, which is what I did.

It had been a while since I took a trade, so I was really wanting to trade something; anything really. So after a massive red day in SPY, I decided to make my first loto play...all I can say is that was dumb, Dumb, DUMB! Thought it may bounce and implied volatility might increase on expiration day. I was very wrong. Won't do that again, even if I'm only risking $100.

Tried for a FRD play, but I sold way too soon. Newbie move. Could have been a profitable trade if I had just been patient. Plus, I chased my entry at the end of the day on the 7th.

Took this trade because the stock double topped around $176 and then trended down hard to close red on the day and below VWAP. Additionally, the daily chart looked to be topping after having a multi-day run, and it was clearly having a FRD on the 3rd.

First option trade was a success. My heart was racing trying to decide when to sell though. So I definitely need to work on the emotions. Got in after being alerted by Mark Croock. Stock had a first red day on the 7th that bounced off a key level of support around $271-$270. And today it gapped down below that level.

Bought this stock because it was a recent big % gainer on 12/2/2021, and the chart seemed to have found a bottom. Wanted to swing this play for a $1 plus per share gain, and risked around $12. Sold on 12/9 into a big volume push.
