Hope all is well!

I’ve been trying to really dial in my day trading strategy lately — I haven’t had great trades in the past few sessions, so I’ve been focused on refining my approach.

Here’s what I typically do:

I mark the previous day’s high and low

Thank I mark the high and low of the first 5-minute candle

I usually wait for the second candle…

Hope all is well Joe! I’ve been struggling to stay consistent lately. Some days I make the right calls and feel great, but then days like today shake my confidence. I end up having to step away, reset, and remind myself that I can do this. This morning, the market opened down, and I waited through the first two candles before entering at 9:42…

Hi John,

Hope all is well. I entered a credit call spread on 3/11 for CrowdStrike because it was trading below the moving averages and under the 200 SMA. I sold a call at the 350 strike and bought a call at 360, with an expiration of 3/21. I was in the money on both ends near expiration since CrowdStrike started moving up, but the overall…

Hi Joe and Lynn,

Hope all is well with you. I’ve been struggling a bit over the past two weeks with getting in the right direction. I’ve had some minor losses but very few wins. This morning, I went long on BA at 9:54 AM since it was above VWAP, the first 5-minute candle and above the previous day’s close. However, it started moving downward,…

Good afternoon John,

Hope all is well. I’ve shifted to day trading since swing trading hasn’t been working so well. Lately, I’ve been waiting 15 minutes after the open instead of jumping in right after the first 5-minute candle to avoid choppiness. I’ve had some solid SPX trades, but also some that didn’t go my way. Besides trading off the…

I forgot to ask another question. I currently hold a NVDA leap option, but since I’m a bit under, I’m hesitant to sell a call. With earnings coming up tomorrow, I’d like to take advantage of the high implied volatility by selling a call at the $140 level expiring on 2/28.

It’s easier to write calls when the long call is profitable, but what…

Hi John,

Hope all is well. The market has pulled back significantly over the past few days, and I’m eager to take advantage of these levels by buying some stocks. However, I’m cautious about trying to time the bottom, as it’s difficult to predict how much lower things might go.

I’ve been considering a leap option on Palantir since it’s…

Hi John! I hope you’re feeling better from the flu.

I have a question about a trade I placed last week on GOOGL. I entered a diagonal call spread by buying the April 17 $190 call and selling the March 21 $205 call. I initiated the trade on Thursday, expecting GOOGL to hold the 50-day moving average. However, on Friday, it dropped below the 50…

Hi John,

I hope you had a good holiday season! I’m just easing back into things this week after some time away. I’m working on trimming down my positions and figuring out the best strategies for this choppy market.

I have a question about my Amazon stock. I’ve been rolling covered calls at the $135 strike for over a year, collecting around…

Hi John,

I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for explaining the PMCC strategy last week. It was really helpful, and I appreciate the time you took to walk through the details.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join the call today, but I wanted to send my questions in advance and will listen to the recording…
