What a fantastic start in the week! Seriously that was long overdue and finally opens opportunities to target last ATHs on our favorite stocks. Since I also had bearish setups for today, they banked! If you waited after market open the first 15-30minutes and look at the setups you could still go in on these and made some good money. So I would call them all nice profits, here we go:
Here are my #SundaySwing ideas for the week of 9/24 based on #TheStrat Take profits at 20-40%.
$PTON 100p < 102.50
$AAPL 144p < 145.76
$FSLY 47c > 45.19 | 43p < 43.68
$DKNG 64c > 62.98 | 59p < 59.12
Please do your own due dilligence before entering a trade.

Risk management is the most important part of trading!
As an idea, this is how I try to minimize risk before buying. Quickly shows me how many contracts I can buy.
Maybe this helps some of you too.

Wow what a volatile day, I had it more bullish on my plays, but anyways, great close of a quadwitch week $MRNA - hit - had the trigger from the 4hour entry for a possible 2-1-2 reversal and it played out well but as a 1-3 to the downside the 420p 2.30 -> 14.00 = 510% $ORCL - failed - apparently that one was weird, because whole tech dipped down and only a few stocks went up, ORCL was one of those after it triggered right at open, was never a good point for getting into the Put.

After the red day yesterday were every alert failed, let’s check today. But I read that some of you made quick profits, so I’m bullish :-) $BAC hit - triggered and was a quick one! (quick as in fast 10 minutes!) .69 -> ~.80 = 15% I call it win. $BA fail - triggered and never was profitable $MRNA hit - also a quick trade but @parksters made profit, so I’ll take it as a win 2.

Tried to scalp today and didn’t play the daily alerts I set up, doesn’t worked well. My 4 scalp trades on NVDA and TWTR all failed after an actionable signal on the 60, 15, 5m, so I stopped trading for the rest of the day. Anyways… let’s see how the alerts did… $NIO fail - theoretically it would have been profitable, but only 5 minutes time window $NVDA fail - triggered and after small profit of maybe 10% it failed

What a red day to start the week, but as 10 out of my 11 setups were bearish, it was expected by me. 8 out of 10 bearish alerts got triggered, I had only $AMD bullish which not triggered and $FSLR didn’t trigger because of a huge 7% up today. $UPST 250p - fail Quick profit possible, Reached my projected target twice after alert. (but premiums was high!) 4.50 -> 5.
Some #TheStrat day trading setups for 9/13:
$MSFT Calls > 300 | Puts < 295.38 $AMD Calls > 107 | Puts < 104.98 $FB Calls > 384 | Puts < 378.26
Have fun and a great start into that week! #StratList
Here is my finished watchlist with alerts for Monday into the trading week of 9/17. Everything bearish and also most stocks have FTFC down. #TheStrat

Last week I played with different settings on TrendSpiders Alerts feature which is pretty cool, once you’re getting used to it. It sure lags some other nifty features from TradingView but 2 cool features that I found really helpful are: Sensitivity You can setup a range around a trendline or other indicators when the alert fires and the price has not to be exactly break through or touch the indicator. The slider adjusts a blueish area around the indicator on the chart so you can see exactly what happens.
What a nice day for my last day of vacation. Back at work on Monday.
Created a #TheStrat related page here with some infos, will add a lot more in the next couple of days. I also created a category for my trading journal, which you can follow here or via RSS too, if you like.

Fail. V 9/10 225p - 2-1-2d Bearish Reversal - triggered and kept momentum down .34 -> .

Quick recap for 9/9 trading day. $MSFT 2-2 Bullish Reversal 9/10 302.5c - triggered and failed, since rest of tech market stumbled and MSFT wasn’t strong enough to grab momentum after trigger. $CHWY 2-2 Bullish Reversal 9/10 77c - triggered a bit later, failed immediately, came back at noon but had a hard time to go up. 2 out of my 6 planned #TheStrat setups triggered and both failed. It is what it is, using tight stops and not baghold helps on such days to not blow up an account or get in earlier.
I use my Micro.blog account now for journaling my stock&options trading experience with #TheStrat Lets see how this plays out to have a journal on here, still crossposting to Twitter and Mastodon as well.

Still on vacation, enjoyed today at Legoland Germany. Great weather, not that many people, still felt strange after such a long time. But nearly everyone wears masks and kept distance.
Since my Micro.blog here got a bit dusty, I’ve to free it from dust and will use it as a daily/weekly stock trading journal for #TheStrat as well. Since all posts will get cross-posted to Twitter, this could work and would give me some longer-post opportunities as well.
