Jeff,
Thanks for your advise. I was “Killing it” until March 2nd, since then I’m at 2.96 loss.
Are you using TOS to calculate the expected move?

#shortputsTQQQ
Hi again, have not posted in a while as I have been concentrating on selling puts in TQQQ (and some LABU, TNA, SOXL.
Anyway, the TQQQ selling has been a success with about 100 trades over the past 5 months with about 9.25% gain.
Question… I’m not much of a “chartist” but it appears to me that TQQQ is in a classic pennant pattern; waiting for a breakout higher.
Your opinions are, as always, welcome.
Good luck to all

#earningsT.O.S. still not working
As of this morning, 19 Aug, TOS is still screwed up. Not getting filled on trades that normally would fill. And, the one trade that did fill, did not and does not display as a filled order on the Activity and Positions page.
Is anyone using another trading platform?
If this keeps up I may switch.

Was long 10,700 shares DUST.
This morning DUST did a 1 for 25 reverse split.
What happens to my 8 May 20 2.00 call which I sold a few days ago? T.O.S. has is as a 2.oo call not a 50.00 call (2 x 25)
I’ve never held options when an underlying split.
Do I need to be concerned?
Thanks
