Took a break when life got busy, I began to make bad choices so I stopped the options trading for a bit. Now I guess I’ll just watch a couple weeks. I hope everyone is doing alright in this hostile and volatile world.

Hit TP and sold itself. Glad to be making money again after a slew of losses. $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)is quite volatile so it’s better to buy options with further expiry and take profit early when you can. With the recent hype on the earning release, NVDA’s calls make great scalps. Let’s watch how the market behaves later.

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)I bought the calls a little too early but that’s alright. Google is always a stable stock for tech and AI related growth, target price to hit 355, 325 is within reach. Let’s see how the market feels about it tonight. Good thoughts and prayers haha.

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)Quick call scalp while it was running hot! I think I’m better at this. Recently tried other ways because I wanted to manage my trades without staring at charts and realise I don’t do so well that way. I’m a better scalper 😂😭🫣 well, lessons are learnt.

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)This was a hundred percent my own fault. I was just excited to try my hand at what I thought was a good call for TSM. Love Taiwan, love that the little island is making waves in tech, but a mistake is a mistake — I’ll average it on Tuesday and try to break even 😂

(No shame in losing, I’m just a baby on the stock market! Love that Leo looks like me rethinking my choices on this trade.)

Did the usual buy, average and sell move for this $Apple(AAPL.US)call and made a tidy profit! Or should I say, entry, adjusted entry and exit. Bought a call after that because that’s how it usually goes but can you imagine my horror when it fell! $Apple(AAPL.US)what’s with you, buddy? I sold the put at 5.95 just to watch it skyrocket to 21! No hard feelings, remember - we don’t gamble, we are content. A grand is grand! (Pun fully intended)

Quick $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)call while losing almost 3000 on the puts! Managed to averaged it out to this, looking forward to hopefully take profit/cut loss next week. With $AMD(AMD.US)potentially overthrowing NVDA’s throne, I hope to take profit soon!

Been so busy with life I’ve forgot about this $Oracle(ORCL.US)call. Intended for a quick scalp but held it for I think a day? Set TP to be 5.55, triggered at 6.60, sold at 5.95. Bonus 40USD! Huat ah!

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)A small scalp intended to close yesterday but ended up taking profit at open last night for a sweet 155USD. Immediately bought another put for a quick scalp and earned 30USD! I take delight in small wins amid huge losses 😂

$Apple(AAPL.US)scalp to comfort myself while watching NVDA dump. I was right about when NVDA dumps, Apple rises. Again, Apple has a product investors like to see, you’re probably holding one in your hand right now. It’s a stable business, good profits and has a huge customer base with good demand. When NVDA’s future becomes uncertain, people move their money to Apple.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Bought a small call on Friday while NVDA climbs up slowly. AI is in everything, as the tech is expensive now, it becomes difficult to imagine the sustainability and profitability from such a business. Yet AI is much like the invention of aeroplanes. At first, it seems impossible. Then, it’s too expensive. Now, it’s a common form of transportation. AI will make driverless taxis a norm. Unmanned warehouses will be a norm. Drone delivery will be a norm. What’s next? NVDA is building the future. It could well be the company that help flying cars exist. Perhaps, AI could map invisible roads above roads. Wouldn’t that be cool?

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Throwback to the NVDA dump a few days ago… while my calls were losing value I bought a put and scalped a little. It really takes a very strong mind to be able to hold two positions going opposite each other at the same time. That’s one way to manage a trade that’s going bad (only if it’s really bad)!

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)was part of a massive AI tech dump a couple days back due to certain news regarding their investments with $OpenAI(OpenAI.NA)and news offering another perspective - that NVDA may not remain leaders of its industry. I’ve bought two sets of calls for NVDA and had to cut loss on this one a few days as it was near the expiry. I no longer wish to bear the stress of having to manage this trade as NVDA continues to dump towards the 171 mark. I kept the other calls though and it has gained in value this past Friday, when confidence in NVDA is back. No hard feelings! We win some, we lose some! Most importantly, we do not hope, we do not gamble!

$Microsoft(MSFT.US)Microsoft ran a bearish sideways move which made for a predictable but long waiting scalp. Some scalp positions open and close within minutes, this went on for a while. Hit my TP perfectly.

$Apple(AAPL.US)😂 I bought wrongly and didn’t realise it after so I closed it quickly to stop loss. Wasn’t about to enter a trade I didn’t think though. Apple is still a great stock to buy, it isn’t as volatile the other tech stock during the recent ‘tech dump’. Probably because it produces a product that is in the hands of millions of people around the earth. Sharing my mistakes so we all know no one is perfect.

$Apple(AAPL.US)Trust when Apple steadily rises, it will soon steadily fall back to support. It’s a really cool stock for options. Doesn’t give you a heart attack like NVDA 😂

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)When’s the last time we saw 180 for NVDA? The drop from yesterday is ongoing and my calls expire in ten days. Will I make it out alive? Will I break even? Dun dun dun… 🫣

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Even in yesterday’s bearish movement, a call scalp is still possible! That is how much movement NVDA has in a day of trading. Did some averaging as price did fall below support just a little before going back up, sold it almost immediately when it was in profit. A hundred bucks is still a hundred bucks. 🎉

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)NVDA stocks fell by so much throughout the trading day but this is expected behaviour for NVDA due to certain bad news and speculations. Yet, it is still the largest and most reliable producer of those computer chips sought after by big tech. While you scalp some puts, don’t forget those long term calls.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Rise and shine. Rinse and repeat. NVDA scalps are almost always repeatable week after week. See yall Monday. Have a good one, friends!

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)Posted about this call just ten hours ago. I didn’t set a TP for it so the trade wasn’t closed and I intended to close it today so after I made that post, I set the TP to be 1795. I couldn’t have been more accurate! Scalped what I wanted, got out, and the price has fallen since. Great scalp!

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Unexpected NVDA put scalp paid for my sushi dinner. TGIF!

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)When NVDA goes down, GOOGL goes up. Why does that happen? I’m happy to ride the wave! Still holding this option, will let it float on the waves and see where it takes me.

$Apple(AAPL.US)Let’s go! Quick Apple put worked out amazing! Got a little more than I asked for as well. I’m grateful! Thanks for the drinks, Apple! 🍎

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Took a little risk because I had faith in NVDA’s volatility. It can host a game of tennis between its lines of resistance and support. Thanks for dinner, NVDA.
