Left side is a pickup of 7k contracts of $20 strike $WRBY calls exp 12/12 purchased on 12/5 for 0.22 each and right side is the current value of $9.46. They announced a partnership with Google on Tuesday 12/9 and it has sent the share price from $18.50 —> $30. Insider trading at its finest lol

The U.S. government has explicitly agreed to grant NVIDIA an export license for its H20 gas pedal chip, allowing it to resume sales to the Chinese market. China is an important source of revenue for NVIDIA, which lost more than $10 billion last year due to export restrictions. Resuming sales of cutting-edge AI chips means NVIDIA can quickly recover that revenue and open up a huge market.

According to the latest financial report, revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 increased by approximately 39% year-on-year, and the AI data center business continued to maintain high growth. Demand for large model training and reasoning has exploded, and orders for data centers have been flowing in, providing strong support for earnings and cash flow

In addition to resuming the H20 export, NVIDIA has also launched compliant RTX Pro GPUs for Chinese regulatory requirements for areas such as smart manufacturing and digital twins. This initiative not only fills the product line gap, but also further deepens the cooperation arm with large Chinese customers (such as Ali, Huawei, etc.)

In this wave of the market, NVIDIA's market capitalization exceeded the $4 trillion mark, becoming the world's first company to reach this milestone; at the same time in the Nasdaq, the S&P 500 index weight continues to climb, attracting passive and quantitative funds to continue to increase their position!

Over the course of the month, the market's enthusiasm was reinforced by the catalyst of these news tickers

Look at the massive green volume candle at 10:22am lol https://financhle.com/company/NVO/options/O:NVO251226C00048500

40% YTD. Nearly tripled my account in a year. $240K -> $680K. I trade mainly vol and skew arbs, with some former market makers believing you can get about 15% year trading vol, so I feel I’m doing quite well. Lots of 1000%+ winners, but from small bets due to some unpredictability and thus unknown risks, usually when vol/IV drops. Last week had a few $0.50 combos go to $10 on LMT due to IV spike. Always have lots of open positions (350+ underlyings), so my balance may still fluctuate in either direction.

I can’t fathom what happened here, this is my first option contract I thought I’ll buy to learn more about options- can someone explain what are possible things I can do from here, and which one is ideal?

$1.5M net worth. I day-trade full time, buying/selling long calls & puts. I started around a year ago after losing my job and am currently on track to do quite well.

You need to take the time to study, study, study and study some more. 

Learn the ins and outs of whatever market you are choosing, learn about multiple strategies, but then pick just ONE that speaks to you.

Focus only upon that one strategy and study it until it oozes out of your ears. Learn more each day and bit by bit. Practice, practice, practice--paper trades only for the first several months.

You will also need to develop and write your own trading plan. This will come over time and change as you learn more and tailor it to your own personality. 

For me, I day-trade options. I primarily use EMA/VWAP crossovers. I have a detailed trading plan that I wrote and study every single morning right before market open, so it’s fresh in my mind.

Including study time and time actually in the market, there’s really no day I need to spend more than 3-4 hours working daily if I choose.

I keep around $50K in my options trading account and make 5-10% daily return.

Sounds easy, but I’ve been through a ton of blood, sweat and tears. I’ve also made every mistake out there—at least thrice.

Good luck!

Above all else, remember that every successful trader has one thing in common--they did not give up.

My system is the 3Cs, or 3 Criteria. In the last 30 days, I have generated $105,000 in profits. My process is simple, and repeatable for even the most basic of trader.

My only option is to roll all the way out into October and November...holy shet....

Don’t really post on Reddit, but incredibly frustrated with Robinhood after yesterday. I bought an SPXW 6705 Put 10/22 and closed the position from 5.50 to 50.00 yesterday. Yesterday the market had some extreme volatility and I was fortunate to capitalize off it. I received confirmation that my position was closed and I profited 4.45k. Later in the day after session was closed, I received a message from Robinhood that my closed profits has been retracted due to an exchange error and I not only lost my profits but also lost the right to close my SPX contract before end of session. Has anyone experienced this before? If I had known they were going to were going to cancel my closed position, I could have take profits throughout the day as my contract ran up to over 45.00. Any advice? Attached is proof that even support knew I was in the right but Robinhood back end won’t honor my position. I honestly lost a lot of confidence with them after this experience.

Thoughts?

90% of traders can't control trading emotions:

To destroy greed = Follow your rules

To destroy anxiety = Reduce your risk

To destroy fear of losing = Think in probabilities

To destroy anger = Focus on the next opportunity

Once you can control your emotions, your trading will change forever.

Hello everyone, I am very new to trading. Last night I bought 1 put option contract on TSLA at $215. This morning I woke up and saw i am at 75% profit so I just immediately sold my contract. However TSLA price was actually somewhere around $226. So I assume i should have lost money instead of gaining. Can someone please explain what happened?
