Yes I’m also interested if you can elaborate on what you observe regarding the bids. Is it the bid size? The bid prices? The bid action (activity or price movements)? Do you watch the level2 data or just transactions feed? Thanks Thermal
big poggers on your successes
Didn’t trade today and likely won’t trade until late next week if at all. Gonna be busy with work and home projects.
Will be trading again starting tomorrow.

Stayed cash today. Spent all day watching and didn’t see any clear/safe scalp entries. I also didn’t feel like FOMOing into anything this afternoon. I’ll take a no gain day over a loss any day.
Today was fun. Scalped a SPX call earlier. Also did something new and decided to swing a single AMZN & TSLA put for tomorrow. That’s gonna be interesting.

Overnight holds:

Sold those puts at open for a nice loss, oh well. Ended the day green though thanks to SPX call.

Still holding the 6/24 puts. Grabbed some SPX puts around when JB called it out.

I was in a meeting today that should of been an email, so I only had time to make a quick SPX scalp. I also sold the puts I was holding for a loss today. Currently in no positions. Today was also a new start to my small account challenge. For those not actively following my journal, last month I went from $245.64 → $8,211.49. I’ll be looking to do this again and will call out my entries and exits. Feel free to follow along at your own risk.
IRA balance: $530.54
Cash balance: $1,638.36
I apologize for not updating this in awhile. I barely traded the past few weeks. Combination of real life business and just didn’t feel like it. I’m getting back into it starting tomorrow. I will be calling out my entries, exits, and cost averages. I will only be playing 0dte options. Follow along at your own discretion.
Balances:
IRA: $250.76
