Lesson: How I determine when to exit a trade.

First before I enter a trade I come up with a complete strategy, if I’m entering calls, I’m looking for the stock or ETF to go down and find support, so I choose my entry in advance, I do the same with my exit strategy. Once I know my cost to purchase the option, I determine where I think the ETF or stock will go to and determine the value of my option in order to sell on a spike or a dip, let me give you two examples.
The first example, micron, last week I mentioned I was grabbing some puts on Wednesday, there was bearish divergence, the price was around $55, and they put premium was extremely high, telling me the stock was likely to go down. So when I entered at $55.30 the stock actually went about $.30 higher and my position started down, I was not worried as I had a strategy.
My exit strategy was when the stock would go down to $52.50, the stock actually dropped to $51 the next day, but I was happy with my trade as my strategy was executed.
One more example, when I entered into AFRM calls, the stock was $17.14 and my exit strategy was $20. Affirm went as high as $22 before earnings, so I did not secure max profit, but I executed a hell of a profitable trade.
Lastly I receive a lot of messages, people telling me they left a lot of money on the table, I am 100% guilty of that as well, but I understand risk versus reward, and I like to lock up profit as often as possible. I’ll take consistency and base hits versus those home run traders all day long.
