How often do you find that you can;t exit a trade due to liquidity issues?
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I *can't* exit, it's that I can't exit at reasonable price. As you might expect, that doesn't happen as often as not being able to enter trade due to illiquidity, which happens on a seemingly weekly basis. I would guess that liquidity issues when trying to exit only affects about 10-15% of my trades.
Deleteseems like quite a few of your trades dont catch on twitter..how many trades do you put on that dont catch?
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that I don't post or reference on twitter? I'd say I only reference maybe 50% of the trades I put on. I'm less inclined to speak about my winners after the fact, because nobody likes a cheerleader.
DeleteAs I was replying to this post, I put on a NKE 65/64.5 strangle for .50, and flipped it for .65, only to see it print .75 a minute later and now it's at $1.00 ten minutes later. So even if I tweet it, sometimes the window has already shut for someone else to enter.
I throw up bricks just like anyone else, and just like most other people, I rarely opine about them on twitter. And now that NKE strangle is worth $1.45. ARGH!!!!!!
And now it's worth $2.25!! Dammit!!!
Deleteand LOL @ my comment "...sometimes the window has already shut for someone else to enter". Classic!
Deletewhere do you get your premarket movers data, and the volatility info? thanks!im sure youll have many other winners!
ReplyDeleteI get my pre-market movers and volatility in Thinkorswim. I also use a couple of spreadsheets I made for volatility estimates. Thanks for the support, hope your holidays go well!
