I bought 3 AAPL July13 400 Calls. I paid more than I wanted, but I was pretty confident in this trade. I bought off the 13- 9:43 candle. When I saw a gap up that extended above the 200 MA, I knew I had support from the opening, so I knew i had a trade. When the second candle opened above belly of the first, I had more confirmation. The "E" had developed on my 13. Money Flow sitting in a perfect place at about 58. The ADX was up on 55 and 13. The market was screaming n my direction. I exited the trade at about 2:35. I had the best trading day I have had in several months $882 profit in less than 5 hours. Today is one of those days that humbles me. I will never take what I know for granted. My parents did not make in a month what I made in a day.
Darcy, I almost bought NFLX. That opening shook me up a little, so I went with AAPL. If I would have bought flix, I would have probably made twice as much. That 9:56 candle from my 13 was a big money candle that was a slap in my face. Everything was going in my direction-including the 9:56 candle opening above the 200 MA and that "E" on my 13 was about as perfect as I have seen. I normally do not let a decision affect me, but this one tugs at me a bit because I typically would have traded NFLX before AAPL. I allowed that opening candle on NFLX wash me out off my 13. Anyway, great trade today! I am waiting to see a trade that you enter that I entered as well.
