i will start this, by saying, that my ability to find good spots (especially on the short side) , is amazing. I feel i have a gift for spotting co's that are going to make runs in the direction i want . i will also say that i have beaten the stock market for over 4 million (easily) , in the 12+ years I have traded it. I have never worked at a hedge fund or traded for one that specialized in trading. Have just traded my money and for family/clients . my problem has been with exits , my ideas are good, and I would like to think my entries are good, but my exits are leaving a lot to be desired.. some examples.. 3 weeks ago i bought HD 129 puts , saw them appreciate 300%, only to lose all the gains plus the principal.. rinse repeat for the past year. A lot of times i feel like a trader's biggest leak is taking profits too fast, but now i'm on the other spectrum of it..
so basically this,, as a thread, help me out with my exit prices and I will tell you my entry prices for my plays. i usually short/buy puts , so it will be geared that way .. these are my current positions across all the accounts i control along with entry points.

HLF short stock since low 60's (late september)
HLF 12/16 49.5 puts , (1.45 avg price)
KIRK stock since 11/20 or so (13.80) price
NVDA stock since early may (36) , in retirement accounts.
TBT 40.5 calls that expire today , had a chance to sell them for 2 yesterday, (.74)
WTW short (9.85) (a monht or so) , was down a good % on that
