Trading

Greeting from Tbilisi. The weather is hot, air conditioners are running, but the autumn winds are also present.  This morning I was looking at two European Stocks to trade options with Dutch ING bank or German E.ON. It turned out a holiday in the US (at least on the stock exchange), where Labourš day was observed, and the European market opened lower. Both ING and EON fell by more than 2% and I thought this is an opportunity. Decided to test the waters with German E.ON and sold one put option…

Hi traders - I have some excellent news, I've decided to launch a $1,000 options trading challenge - or I will start small and try to get there soon. On average I'm looking to get there in 3-4 months by trading safely. The trade plan lies in trading cash secured put options and trying to avoid the assignment as often as possible. Bad trades should be rolled down and out.  All the income from the options trades will be reinvested back into dividend-paying stocks or used to finance additional…

Welcome to the new renewed monthly stock options income reports. I stopped publishing monthly reports more than two years ago, just shortly after being hit hard by Covid 19 market crash  In the past 12-24 months my stock options portfolio has been walloped, decreasing from its heights at about  EUR 20,000 to under EUR 2,000, primarily because of bad trades, overtrading and overleveraging. EUR 20,000 actually gives some EUR 133,000 Buying power. When my stock portfolio was about EUR 1,400…

I have been wondering about this question for the past few years already. In theory, both offer the same result, but just in theory.  In practice, I have found that I prefer selling cash secured put options over covered call options, I better keep cash and adjust than stay invested and sunken.  But of course, it depends on the stocks you are trading. Right now I'm holding 3 covered call options on Dutch ING bank, my average buy price is about EUR 9.6, and I have 3 different call options with…

I love challenges, cryptocurrencies, and trading. A few weeks ago, before/during the crypto crash I sold all my BTC and stopped trading it, as the bitcoin futures trading fell like one step forward  - two steps back.  This morning I logged in to my derbit account and found I have some little crypto there - received as affiliate income. Nothing much though. Not willing to avoid crypto at all, but also not willing to pour into fresh dollars I decided I could trade what I got, just to keep skin…

A few weeks ago I wrote an article on how to make at least $1/ day by day trading crypto. Now, I decided to scale it up a bit, and see how to make $5 per day, relatively safe from trading bitcoin, and how much actual capital is required. This is not trading advice. Investments in stocks, funds, bonds, or cryptos are risk investments and you could lose some or all of your money. Do your due diligence before investing in any kind of asset.

Good afternoon from Tbilisi, today is May 18, 2022, and Bitcoin is trading at slightly under $30,000.  While I'm waiting for Bitcoin to bounce back and above the levels of $40,000. I decided to check different chart setups to get a better understanding of where we might be heading to. As of writing these lines I was holding 4 long positions with leverage on Bitcoin with strike prices around $32,500, $37,000, and $42,000. I found very useful YouTube video, from Satoshi Stacker - THIS…

Tonight Bitcoin has slipped just under the $30,000 which is a major support line and was last tested back in July 2021 My Bitcoin futures trading account is literally bleeding, and I keep adding more funds to avoid forced liquidation. if there is a thing I've learned while trading - leverage, leverage, leverage.  As long as you are not trading futures with leverage I wouldn't be worried too much - but would buy a few satoshis to beef up long-term bitcoin holdings. On the other hand, if you…
