AAPL's even higher in premarket right now - $679 now.  I got in at $662 and only need $5-8 to double, you can do the math.

Picked up SPY Sept. 140x calls at $2.30 for the RSI2 signal from my program.

Also picked up EEM 39.5x Sept calls at $1.12.

Sell limit at $9.50 triggered for 2/3 of my AAPL Sept. calls while I was in class so I got out of those with +28%.  Glad my guess for a top was correct there before I left.

Just letting the rest ride to see if we go higher into the iPhone5 release.

Not much trading today.  Just doubled down again on AAPL this morning when it dipped below $650.
School starts tomorrow, so I'll be slowing my trading down again.

Out of BAC calls at $.40 (+185%), stock at $8.40 (re-entered a couple days ago at $.14 after already making almost 100% in one day).
More than content with this stock already.

I'm thinking it should pullback at least a little bit (intraday timeframe in mind) from the resist at $8.40 exact.
But my program just generated another buy signal on today's candle and $8.25 break, so I'll probably get back in on longer expiration end of day.
Edit: Have to see the price near close first though - buy signal today can be completely cancelled out if the candle is no good.


Also out of BBG at $1.80, already past my expected holding period.
Doubled calls on Sept. 700x AAPL during the pullback just now.

Watching for an exit on SPY as I don't want the weekly decay to bite into my gains.
Edit: Got out at $1.20 (+50%) on calls (from $.80 last week).  Think it'll go higher but I'll probably want to re-enter and father expiration calls.

Added AAPL Sept 700x Calls near close today at $7.45.  Saw it kind of late but just buying off the cup-handle formation and the hype building up to the iPhone5 release.

Out of BAC calls this morning at $.19 - basically a +90% gain.
Picked up SPY Aug.24 142x calls at $.80 during the light dip

If we close here, we break the upper trendline resist for SPY. (bullish) But it's very close to the stronger horizontal resistance right above.
Looks like the long signal from June still works though.

Into SANM September calls at $.45


Current still watching LVLT and just added EXEL to my watchlist based off my bottom indicator.

I ended up picking up a few ADI 40x Sept. calls at $1.20 yesterday after the stock pulled back up to $40.40-ish.  VNO looks like it's bouncing so I'll wait for that to end.

Edit: Got out of ADI calls at $1.25 - didn't look like it was going to hold in this range for much longer without a pullback.  That and the program actually bought and sold a few days ago already, so I'm jumping in late anyway.

Also using a configuration I made for modeling SPY, my program is showing that SPY is right at a major resistance (overlapped red candle you can barely see further right) - thinking of going long in anticipation of a break, especially since the program actually went long 2 months ago, but I'll wait for a pullback first (since I'd be going in 2 months late if based on the automation).

Finally able to trade again after a long summer.  No more holding in the future though while gone (DMND But PEP did awesome so oh well ).

In the mean time, I wrote myself a small program for automated screening and technical analysis.
Right now the most consistent indicators are volume + trendlines, so I'll be trying out real trades with those first.

So far I've picked up the following on my screens but will be watching more before deciding on entry.  The automation doesn't time the entry that well yet, so I'll still be doing that myself for a while but it's nice not to have to use Equity Feed or anything like that anymore.

ADI at $40 (intended long)


VNO at $80 (intended short)

Just a heads up I'll be holding off from any trading until about the end of summer.  Going to be very busy - hopefully nothing dies before I get back.

Watching for a break of $24 on DMND with this news:

Still holding Sept. 23x calls here.

PEP is spiking on Relational Investors about to reveal their stake in the company.  Calls are priced nicely, so I picked up a few June 70x just to see what happens.  A move of $2.50 on the stock means 300% on the calls.

Stopped out the rest of CBOU calls at stock price of $12.30; bid for calls was kept up higher than it should be though by someone so there was no loss.  Just watching for re-entry on either this or DMND right now.

Took a little out of CBOU at $12.60, calls up 40%.  Pretty much a perfect candle setup (3 hammers before the up-move, as if it weren't clear enough).  Think there's more upside but keeping a little in cash incase of a pullback or I want to average more DMND (moved to Sept. calls now).

Am watching $13 and $14 as major resistance points for CBOU (the window/gap range).

Watching coffee stocks here.  Am thinking the selling to the lowered forecast might be overdone.  Picked up CBOU 10x August calls at $2 (CBOU at $11.50) for a similar bounce to what GMCR is having today.

Just exited GRPN July 13x puts for about +44%, held for about 3 weeks.
Going to watch for re-entry again after the bounce.

RENN about to breakout.  Watch $6.50 resist.

HEAT is breaking out at $7-ish.  I think THTI is also breaking out because people mistake it for HEAT.

Could this be the catalyst for GRPN? Still sticking to my call for July puts from a few weeks back.

RWC just had contract news.  We'll want to see it hold above $2 resist.

DMND just spiked to $28 today - didn't realize till after market close though, too busy studying for midterms... Erg - this is a distraction.. or is the midterm a distraction for this? Ah! XD


IGC also holding up well - nice to see it safely around $.55 now.
