2/5/2018 10:48:11 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - INTC Premium of $8.5 million on 40,000 of the 6/15/18 $48 Call for $2.14 with stock at $46.53. Smart money still pours it in, albeit with further out expiration in the face of this carnage. This is part of a spread where they sold the 2/16/18 46 Call. Be patient and only piggy back once market gives buy signal. You can get in at a lot cheaper price and your option will easily double if not triple after the inevitable face ripping rally. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 80-20 and bullish order sentiment was 63%, inline with its 30-day average of 62%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday's spotlight - PAGP, $242K, 9,700, 3/16/18 $24 Call $0.25, Stock $21.06 Became a one day sell casualty at -50% stop loss as it couldn't buy enough time until this intense selling is over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGP became the 5th loss in the portfolio, but thankfully both the RIG & QQQ Puts hit our +100% target to help the record to 13-5. Nonetheless, all of the open positions are in red. Market needs to rally now or there will be a lot more casualties. DISCLAIMER: This is a paper trading portfolio. It is an experiment in detailing following of "smart" money.  |

2/5/2018 10:53:42 PM Hi Dan, It's hard to tell without access to historical trades. I'm sure you know that unfortunately you're running out of time. If you can, I'd rolled it out to June. HTH Daniel Kotas 2 posts msg #141889 - Remove message 2/5/2018 3:37:24 PM Hello guys, looking at SQ options with expiry on 2/16/18 and 3/16/18, the strikes 42 and 42,50 have really high OI, but on BOTH call and put side. Any idea what that might mean? I have a SQ C2/16/18 @3.75 just for the record. Thank you for response! |

2/6/2018 11:26:52 AM it is now 11:20 I spotted STZ with 2 big quantity orders , 1 at 9:43am and 2nd is at 10:14am. Both of them at the same strike and expiry date. it's a total of 2.9 million. What i'm seeing is how come the bid and ask spread is so widely apart ? Buying now is at 4.30 and selling is 3.10 ??? As of this moment the bid price is creeping up to 3.50 and ask at 4.00 ?? Any explanation ? and should i get in on this ? |

2/6/2018 12:31:24 PM Bo, Looks like the 4000 4/20/18 240 Call $4.00 is the one to follow. That's a pretty aggressive buy considering the weakness of the market. It's now at $3.50. Might be a good time to piggy back on it since the price is lower. HTH |

2/6/2018 9:44:35 PM Yes, but both of them are the same option with the same expiry and strikes, Its just they are 20 mins apart .. i would think they both are from the same institute or at least the same fat cat. So what did you mean when you're saying i should piggy back on the 4000 ( quantity ) ??? I'm sorry i'm lost... BTW you are Vietnamese right ? |

2/7/2018 12:24:43 AM Follow the Money Play of the Day - CAT Premium of $3 million on 3,325 of the 5/18/18 $155 Call for $9.05 with stock at $152.70. The big cat was climbing non stop until it hit the big pull back branch. As cats do it landed on its feet or in this case the daily 100 MA. Today's +3.53% allowed it to climb back above the 50 MA. Break even of $164.05 is 4.88% from today's close of $156.41. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 73-27 and bullish order sentiment was 66%, slightly higher than its 30-day average of 61%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday's spotlight - INTC, $8.5 million, 40,000, 6/15/18 $48 Call $2.14, Stock $46.53 Showed a nice hammer at the 100 MA, but option dropped to -27%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sold MANH due to earnings tonight for a loss of -28%. Portfolio's record now is 13-6. Market needs to have a sustained rally as both AAL & SQ are above -40%, less than 10% away from our -50% stop loss.

2/7/2018 12:28:51 AM After doing further research it looks like these are two separate big buys. Not sure if MC corrected the time on the second purchase, but it now shows 10:44, not 10:14. Piggy back means copy the big player's buy. Yes, I am Vietnamese. :-) BoCap 10 posts msg #141979 - Remove message modified 2/6/2018 9:44:35 PM Yes, but both of them are the same option with the same expiry and strikes, Its just they are 20 mins apart .. i would think they both are from the same institute or at least the same fat cat.

2/8/2018 1:19:34 AM Follow the Money Play of the Day - EEM Premium of $11.9 million on 53,321 of the 6/15/18 $49 Call for $2.24 with stock at $48.33. Daily chart shows trying to reclaim 50 MA. I wouldn't jump in until it does. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 36-64 and bullish order sentiment was 62%, higher than its 30-day average of 52%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday's spotlight - CAT, $3 million, 3,325, 5/18/18 $155 Call $9.05, Stock $152.70 Par for the course as it couldn't have a follow through day as it dropped -1.32%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today was the first day where the portfolio had two losses. Sold MLCO due to earnings for a loss of -50.77% and S hit our -50% stop loss. Amazing that S Put didn't work out in this weak tape. Portfolio's record now is 13-8.  |

2/8/2018 11:39:36 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - MSFT Premium of $2.5 million on 9,067 of the 2/16/18 $85 Call for $2.77 with stock at $86.69. This aggressive play was purchased seven minutes before the closing bell. Calls have been eviscerated during this carnage so for this investor to buy next week's expiration indicate they might know something? Break even of $87.77 is 3.25% above closing price of $85.01 and would put it back above the daily 50 MA. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 65-35 and bullish order sentiment was 57%, lower than its 30-day average of 66%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday's spotlight - EEM, $11.9 million, 53,321, 6/15/18 $49 Call $2.24, Stock $48.33 Cratered along with everyone else -3.47%, putting the option at -10%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today's retest of the lows claimed three more casualties - AAL, TSM and SQ as all hit the -50% stop loss. Portfolio's record now is 13-11. This is a great example showing when the market sinks, it sinks all ships, from a tiny row boat to a massive tanker. Doesn't matter if you're a poor retail trader or a fat cat hedge fund manager. EVERYONE feels the pain!  |

2/9/2018 11:19:11 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - SPY Premium of $3.8 million on 14,965 of the 2/23/18 $265 Call for $2.59 with stock at $257.74. Another aggressive play purchased within the last hour. Smart money thinks the test of the daily Mendoza Line should satiate bears' appetite for now? Break even of $267.59 is 2.33% above closing price of $261.50. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 39-61 and bullish order sentiment was 42%, in line with its 30-day average of 44%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday's spotlight - MSFT, $2.5 million, 9,067, 2/16/18 $85 Call $2.77, Stock $86.69 Went as low as $1.60 before rebounding big with the market. Premium is now up 26%. Should be able to hit 100% if market continues the rally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The late day rally saved the portfolio from further losses. If market recovers over the next two weeks, we should see the win pct back above 60.  |
