Amateur

Notice CME around 3PM when the stock traded around 520$, and both Mar520 Call and Put traded around 1$. The stock has fallen a lot for the day, and I was thinking it might close at 520$, BUT forgot one fact that what the real market is telling us.
Look at the chart, after forming a double bottom, the stock bound back beautifully from 520 to close above 525, while the Call option closed at 5.10.
So technical analysis is always the basis for trading, just follow the trend, do let other preset-mind lead you.

Wait For Follow-Through Day Before Buying

Mistakes 1:

For the first several minutes, market opened slight up and starts to climb, then I jumped in for 10 May QQQQ call at 1.56. This is stupid, as I already predicted the market is going to be quite as we approch the OE day. But once I saw the Q climbing, I felt I should buy some calls to compensate my Puts. And denied the fact that the market didn't have momentum to go up today, so I bot the call at the highest price, though the stock came back to 43 level but the call never came above 1.56...

Have to sell tommorrow!!
1. if market opens higher, sell,
2. if market opens flat or lower, wait for chance to sell

Mistake 2:
before the close, saw somebody mentioned usna on mitbbs, which down 15% for rumor on their health products, then jumped in bot April 50 Put at very high price 3.7. The option closed at 3.4. If the news went away, the option will drop more even if the stock keeps falling.

Don't let emotion or gambling feeling dominate you, keep calm always.

Plan: 1. if solf the Q call, prepare to buy some index puts
2. buy some double short EFT for the IRS account.(sold Q call and bot some qid for irs)

QQQQ formed a beautiful double bottom at noon and rebound in another beautiful extended w. Today, I was totally insentitive to the market, and stick to my ego, that the market is going down. I exited half April 143 put at good profit, but the profit for the remaining was eaten away. The mistake I made is I bot some May 143 Put too early..., should check the whole market and wait....

Spy has similar pattern. If I am sensitive enough, should also quit from the May Put.
Yesterday bot Leh April strangle. This morning both put and call opened lower than yesterday's close due to the relief of its high valatility after the earnings. Leh slided below 68, the put increased to 4 (bot at 2.1), in any case should take profit for the put here, but I didn't, still hold both put and call.

The lesson, if one side option got double in a short time, should take profits!!!

Sold GOOG April 390 Put @ 2.4 for break even when GOOG stayed around days' bottom 440, a good step. Because GOOG has reached its short term bottom again, and this put is too deep out of the money, the decay will accelerate next week.
