Discussion of short term trades in options. Options can be calls, puts or spreads & are usually held 1 to 30 days. Close positions when they turn profitable. Trades are identified using technical analysis to determine entry points, some fundamental analysis and current news. Proceeds discussed are gross proceeds. Proceeds = gain per share x 100 shares x # of contracts. There may not be a trade every day, the setup has to there or it is better to wait for another day.

GS, SLB
Would have closed GS at 2.50 or more for gain of .60 10 contracts x 100 shares = $600 in 9 days. See 1/13 website post
Would have closed SLB at 2.90 or more for gain of .80 x 10 contracts x 100 shares = $800 in 1 day see 1/21 website post
