AmeriCares Trader: 4 Jan 2011

4 Jan 2011

SPY Option Trading:

I got PUNKED trying to short the SPY on Monday. I put on a bad trade early when I sold the weekly (7 Jan 2011) SPY 127 puts. I tried to close out of this trade and rotate into SPY 128 calls but I ended up closing the trade right near the highs for the day, so I only was able to sell 1 additional SPY 128 call.

I'll be looking to sell more weekly SPY 128 calls on a pop tomorrow. To the downside we should have support at 126 now, so I'll be looking to sell some weekly 125 calls on a pullback,

Individual Stock Trading:

RIMM:

I didn't pull the trigger on RIMM again today. It turns out that the RIMM rally failed at the 20-day SMA and now the stock looks like a good setup for shorting. I'll be looking to short RIMM in the 59-59.25 area tomorrow with a stop at 60.50 and a target of 55.

See my trading log for below for my current open and closed positions for the month.
