Gladiators fighting to the death in a gigantic arena; Gruesome trades being made; mindbending feats to stay alive. At the end, a few mangled investors survive. Civilization has reared its victors.

4hr chart for tsla did bounce nicely off that 4hr moving average
Should held but ended up taking a small 4% profit and trying again for a higher price.
Gonna let it ride, daily chart looks like it has some room, I'd like to see it test 150+

TSLA may have me beat on the bear call spreads this week, although it is looking like a bit of a gap and crap this morning, so we'll see. Small trade overall, but a bit of an annoying one that's been clouding up my attention.
Initiated a position in ZIM, an Israeli shipper, via April $17.50 calls @ $2. This thing has been squeezing for a while after trading as high as $91 last year. Had a good pop yesterday and this morning is expanding out of the bollinger band complex to the upside, so I figure I'll take a piece, with room to add if it falls back into the range ~ $17.50.
SHOP still expanding to the upside, took some off today to lock in profits, considering exiting the position entirely and selling some more puts to rebuild, as breakouts just haven't had a lot of staying power recently, and the S&P is at a relatively significant battleground here at 4000 that I'm not sure it's going to chew through right away.
MSFT also grinding higher. MDC, the high dividend real estate developer I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, has been a thing of beauty. Trying to sell some weekly $37 calls against my common to capture an extra $0.50.

Out of SHOP for now, aside for some short puts (short $39 and $39.50 puts that expire this week). Intraday attempt on SPXS, a 3X inverse S&P ETF, stop at low of day, maximum risk = 1%.
Edit: SPXS moving favorably, printing a new high on the day, stop raised, maximum risk = 0.6%.

Trailing stop hit on SPXS for a better than 3% scalp on the hour-ish long trade. Kept my account in the green so far today, I think that'll do it for this session for me.
Currently short $18 ZIM puts, $39 & $39.50 SHOP puts Holding TSLA $126/$127 & $128/$129 bear call spreads
All of the above expiring Friday.
Long MSFT April $240 calls, ZIM April $17.50 calls, and MDC common.
Lots of cash on hand.

Looking for support to hold for tsla, holding right now, grabbed it for 130 down 2%.
Should held that original entry at 116 oh well
If I get to 10% loss or if it looks like meaningful support breaks I'm going to sell it
I think this week is going to end green and maybe next week too
Let's see

Hunting some longs lately.. I had ISUN flagged for a continuation today but couldn't stay conscious long enough after working graveyard shift to make the trade. I also had JOBY flagged for a short today although I probably would have stayed out due to that morning spike. Thinking about getting back to doing a gram of caffeine or maybe some modafini so I can work 8 plus 4-5 in the market 5 days a week. Curious about ARBK,if crypto stays warm looking for a run on volume spike. Nothing super great on the short horizon that I can see prior to my nightly screen. Maybe FULC sell-off continuation. They upsized an offering. Idk. Smells like a trap to me. Blah.

I would love to be able to trade multi day but I have rarely had a successful swing trade.. I just can't make them work maybe because I can't afford to give them enough room or take quality tickers. But nah I'm really not driven.. This is just something to keep me going and I don't have any hope in anything at this point. Small money in this market it's pretty much impossible and I know it. Im just tired of doing three hours reconnaissance every day then not even trading because I'm so tired.

Taking the last year off of trading was the best decision I've made in a while. 
I like the way things are starting to stack up for this year though, hence why I've been a bit more involved of late. Got a ski trip coming up in early February though, and my mum is going to visit the week prior, so I may be tapering down my activity a bit in the coming weeks.

Yeah I basically haven't touched anything the last year and things finally look like they might be settling a bit
Definitely excited to see a change of pace

I had a limited view of a stable market and it seemed pretty easy to trade. Of course I was working days in a hospital during the pandemic so I ahd no chance to have a whack at it. It's just a myth to me at this point.

FULC is such a prime example of the funny shit you notice when you trade garbage stocks.. Interim CEO conveniently sells 100k worth of shares at top tick a few days before they do an offering 😄 damn..

Closed my bear call spreads on TSLA. The lower $126/$127 was closed at my entry price for a wash, the $128/$129 captured 40% of premium credit. Market is pretty weak and these may indeed have ended up working out, but the gains would have been minimal and I just didn't want them sitting on my books soaking up mental energy. MSFT and ZIM taking deeper pullbacks than I had anticipated, which is a bit of a bummer, but so it goes. S&P approaching its 20 day, which if it serves as support would be rather encouraging. I think a trip down to SPY $382 might be in the cards, and would definitely want to see some support there as to maintain any long trade exposure.

We are seeing a little bounce off the S&P's 20 day right now, but the action is fairly muted as the volume weighted average price (VWAP) is keeping a lid on things. I think we'll probably need to bounce around under the S&P's 200 day (~3850-4000 / $382-400 SPY) for at least a few days, and possibly a week or two, before making a more meaningful move one way or the other.

No kidding. My after market relative volume scan turned up jack shit today.
The only thing I'm seeing of interest is a scamex stock GNS which is supposedly going after firms that did some naked shorting and drove their share price down. It kind of fits that meme stock narrative of "stick it to the man" and from chatter over the last year or so there's a lot of bagholders of meme stocks out there that blame naked shorting for their blowups so I'm wondering if we might see some continuation here tomorrow. It's a 10.5 mil float, 24m outstanding so.. Anything could happen I guess.
