Bought 330 shs of Citigroup and play around with the delta on the MAR10 $3 Put that I am holding.

Citigroup is one of the best liquid and volatile stock to play around with the delta !

bearish chart… 20 DMA crosses below 50 DMA, OBV dropping, plus GS just put it on Conviction Sell List

riding on the bearish momentum

aim to cover at 5.55 which is the 200 DMA support  (while GS's target is $5.50)

Betting on a potential technical bounce with a limited upside.

We are lowing the cost by selling the $50 call

EUR drops 100 pips / 0.7% on weak German sentiment survey and the same old Greece story …

just touched the 200 DMA so I better lock in my profit as I already missed my chance last time as I was being too confident

P&L + 43.56 after subtracting the daily roll cost

Sold 400 shs D.R Horton NYSE:DHI at 12.42

it's consolidating after breaking out and it is weakening … volume's dropping, OBV droping, and it looks really volatile intraday.

in fact it is showing a DOJI daily candle as I am typing…

better to lock some profile before the market is heading for a correction

P&L + 416

Bought 400 shs of D.R Horton NYSE:DHI at 11.38

To make the story short.

I was looking at it since the day began, it traded down to the 200 days SMA at around 11.04 …

i was being too cheap and set my buy level too low at 10.89 as it was the daily pivot S2 if i remmeber correctly

never got there, and i saw it running away and breaking out.

so i set a buy level at 11.38 if it breaks above 11.38 as the breakout level was around 11.33..

I then went to bed and found out that my order was filled at 11.38 as it closed at 11.56.
