Still hold the opinions below into March. The only mod I would make is instead of "no war" it's "limited US involvement". Bullish moves already with junk in the small caps - where FOMO will be big. Dovish interest rate increase, endemic, spring/reopening = indexes 🚀... then 💥
My "opinion": Market algos *setup* to dip/trade ➡️ into next month (& play head games w/retail). Russian war talk helps this. A teetering market forces dovish Fed inflation talk (to prevent crash), US news shifts to no war/"endemic"/reopening, FOMO ensues, crazy highs, then crash

100% done sharing trades on social media. I appreciate those whom I've interacted with positively on here. But the hate I got in my inbox when I talked about a melt-up & now the hate for the short calls is *not* worth the energy. If my work is divisive, it's not worth my time.

Big shoutout to @GeorgeC1953 for being one of the good ones on this platform. He's been a wealth of information, especially with options - which I will no longer touch 🤣. But if that is your game, there is no one better to follow and learn from. Thank you, Mr. Costanza. 🍻🤜🤛

Since Twitter won't allow me to "terminate" for 30 days 🙄, I'll be changing my login details to something random to lock myself out. This space will essentially be a time capsule among Twitter's digital clutter... Good luck to you all with your trading journey! Stay safe!

If anyone wants updated charts regarding my bullsh*t short calls, just let me know. The problem, like I've mentioned, is if this is the start of the melt-up, then there is *far* more upside than downside in the *near-term*. Shorts will get crushed. Monday is my stay or bail day.

$SPX. Right on cue. 50 EMA barrier. Quad Witching Day/OpEx tomorrow.
$SPX, almost missed the wall of EMAs (200 = green, 50 = yellow). Many plays are jumping up to them today and stalling, but not all... $SPX has to get through these resistance points to be truly bull, IMO.

$SPX, breakout (over 4,378) or staying inside the formation? OpEx tomorrow...

What is a "successful" trade idea to you? I've seen claims an idea was good if it went up 20% after a call before dropping -30% to reach the target. Is it price movement after the call, staying within support/resistance boundaries to then reach the target, or other? Very curious.

$VIX. Well, that was quick. Filled.
$VIX with the gap above. Always gets filled. On top of the Fed meeting today, Friday is Quad Witching Day...

No more new options contracts for me. It's the fastest way to blow your account. Prove me wrong.

Please don't get trapped in a bull move today... wait for confirmation, a stock pattern/formation break, or something you use on *chart* to decide to enter or leave a trade. Good luck to everyone this week!

Step 1 (bearish market into the Fed meeting) is occurring & *may extend* beyond this week. Step 2 (dovish interest rate hike, like 1/4 point) may lead to Step 3 (endemic, reopening, war "focus" fades) & melt-up. You don't have to agree, but people underestimate market psychology.

New gamble this week: Nvidia $NVDA. Jumped +7% today.... May hit resistance at the 200 EMA ($232, green line). Started an April 14 put position w/a strike of $205 (filled for $6.88). Likely too many headwinds this week for it to take off just yet... but we'll see.

$SKIN. Another ticker likely to fill the gap below before making a strong and continued move up. bit.ly/3N3zFxU

Upstart $UPST. In the near-term, this is a hard call. But insiders have dumped $1.8 billion worth since the IPO & it looks like a massive head & shoulders. I expect the gap below to be filled or even to $45 (or lower) eventually. With a run up, I'll short bit.ly/3Ji4psv

I exited my $GLW April 14 puts in mid-Feb for a -20% loss after the stock "mis-behaved" a little when it created a new high out of the falling wedge. These puts are now up +234% 🤦‍♂️. Impatience and emotional trading can be a portfolio killer. It gets us all.
Averaged into my April put position for Corning $GLW when it hit $43 today (strike $41, avg now $1.51). It's following the TA well, so far. Flipping on the volume profile (bars on the right), you can see resistance (a "ledge") is right where it stopped. Hopefully it falls soon 🤞

Correction - *rising wedge*. I've been tweeting about falling wedges too much, haha
Started a short position with $FIGS at $16. Earnings gap (down to $14.53) that needs to be filled for this bleeder. I like the company, but the chart is no good until it breaks through the falling wedge's resistance. Bottom is an unknown, here... bit.ly/3N3kBAm

I'm calling any rebound today simply a bull trap with the Fed meeting & OpEx this week. Some of my trades dropped -10% yesterday and are now +8% 🙄. The issue is where these tickers "bounced". Most partially filled gaps or never hit support (but came close). Staying patient.
