charts/tape reading

The market doesn't care what I or anyone else says.
The market is the final authority of profits or losses.
That's why it's smart to listen closely to what the market has to say.

One way to look at is ignore noise (news) and focus on charts as the resistance/support/hammer/volume is how the market is saying what it wants to say.

close of the option trade...with a 35% gain!

With the market way overbought and the FAST overbought, it's best not to press your luck :) So decided to get out of this after slight run up in the FAST in the morning today even though market is down lil bit. So closed as follows for a 35% profit in less than 2 weeks ( week and 2 days to be precise).

sold x FAST May 40 calls for 11.7 [11.7-8.7 = 3; 3/8.7 ==> 34.5%]

Of Course, this is not substantial amount as only 1% of my portfolio was deployed. But then, the risk in the trade was also very less exactly for that reason :)
